Recently our youngest granddaughter had a sleepover with us. We took her to a children’s museum. On the way home we started playing a game we had played with our children when they were little to pass the time on a road trip. My husband started by saying “I’m going on a picnic and I’m […]
So excited! As a lover of American history – both its good and its bad history – I have found that there is a wealth of history on the Underground Railroad in the state where I recently became a resident. I recently wrote a couple of blogs about statues of African-Americans in the USA. Crispus […]
I have been posting each Friday on one of the old hymns/gospel songs of the church. The hymn selected this week is very appropriate as we are in the Lent season looking forward to Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. Almost every hymnal published in the last 50 years or so has this song in its […]
What a difference a day makes! Yesterday morning when I woke up I posted a verse from the Psalms: This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Since we could not go to church I was thinking that I could complain about the restrictions right now with […]
Walking with Jesus as my friend and redeemer for many years, I found Him faithful in every circumstance. Yet, I must confess, sometimes when things get difficult I seem to forget His faithfulness and start worrying. Recently, thinking about this I thought my reaction really depends on where I stand in my relationship to Him. […]
In our road trip today we visited one of only two covered bridges open to traffic in Michigan. The bridge leads to a village that time has forgotten. John Wesley Fallas and his brother, Silas, came to the area in 1837. Built alongside the Flat River they used the power from the river to construct […]

If you follow my blog you know my husband and I are avid Scrabble players. Very competitive, we started keeping a record of the scores of our games in 2008. We laugh that we are actually addicted to the game. My Addiction has Returned Thankfully we are evenly matched. It would be no fun if […]

I can’t take credit for this story. I heard it somewhere along the way, but I don’t know who or where. So – if anyone knows, please let me know. But the story is so good as I think about how we fail so often to be grateful for our “every day” blessings. One afternoon […]

When I wrote this post I was only thinking about downsizing to make life a little easier. I had no idea that it would really pay off when we moved several months later – not just to a new home, but to a new state. I recently read statistics compiled by The SpareFoot Storage Beat […]
