In 2017 my husband, along with our youngest daughter and our granddaughter made a trip to Casey, Illinois to see the small town that boasted: While there we saw nine creations by Jim Bolin that have made the Guinness Book of World Records. You can read all about that visit and see pictures of the world’s […]
In our devotion today my husband and I read the New Testament epistle 1 John. Written by one of the disciples of Jesus the letter is, of course, giving advice about spiritual matters. However, in light of today’s constant barrage of information from cable news, newspaper and magazines, twitter and Facebook accounts, I find his […]
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 […]

I have never been one to make New Year resolutions. My experience has been that most New Year resolutions are broken before the first week in January is over. But this year is different. As 2014 came to an end, I found in my spirit that there were areas in my life I needed, with […]

As I am working on my scrapbooks I came across the picture of this little country church where I first heard that Jesus loves me and remembered this blog I posted a couple of years ago. So thankful for my heritage and wanted to share my story again. Hope you enjoy it. Grandma’s Ramblings Little […]
