Dr. Tanya, at Salted Caramel, asked four questions about blogging. She calls the questions “retrospective introspection.” Reading your own work, she says, is sometimes called a form of narcissism but she thinks a better description might be self-evaluation or self-assessment. With that in mind, I have responded to her questions. Here are her four questions: […]
I started my blog in 2014 but I was hit and miss – some months not posting at all and never any consistency to my posts until the past few months. Throughout my life I have loved to write. I was a guest columnist for the local newspaper a few years ago and I also submitted […]

Every six months I get a routine checkup from my doctor. She checks my A1C, my cholesterol, vitamin D levels, my blood pressure. She listens to my heart and takes a look at my ears and my throat. We discuss any problems I might have. I keep these appointments faithfully not because I am sick […]
Last year I shared how my youngest granddaughter uses her imagination and pulls me into her “make-believe” world as she plays with the toy animals my husband gave her a few years ago. Last week she stayed with us as her parents were out of town on work-related trips. I thought we had covered every […]
Once again we hear about the war on Christmas. And once I again I share this post from 3 years ago. May Christ be a part of our lives all year long. Grandma’s Ramblings Facebook is full of posts about saying “Merry Christmas” vs “Happy Holidays.” We go through this scenario every year. Christians judge […]

There have been mountain tops of great joy, great excitement (to mention only a few – marriage, birth of children and grandchildren) and valleys of […]
When we moved into our condo last spring my husband decided to work on the unfinished basement and create a place where he could fully enjoy his love of painting. Before this move there was never a really good place for him to keep all his painting paraphernalia. A place where he could also display […]
It’s almost Mother’s Day – and my memories of Mom keep coming back so strong. She was such a feisty lady. In her 60’s she drove a bright yellow car and slowed down only slightly for stop signs. She loved to show my daughters how to do the Charleston. (Does the younger generation today have […]
It’s Friday and time to take a look at another gospel song. As I thought back over the many gospel songs I grew up singing, I noticed how many had the same name listed as the author….Fanny Crosby. Songs I have loved: Blessed Assurance To God Be the Glory Rescue the Perishing Jesus Keep Me […]
