My Voice
The other day my husband Phil and I spent part of our day with our youngest granddaughter, Avery, age 3. It was a beautiful day so we spent most of our time outside in her yard. Being 3, her world is new and amazing. Finding large and small pinecones, the partial egg shell in the…
Recipes
This is the time of year that we dust off the 1978 Betty Crocker Cookbook and pull out our well-used recipe cards, stained with splatters from many uses in the past. The memories come back as we gather the ingredients, and wonderful smells of baking fill the house. We all have our favorite recipes that…
Vacations
Recently my husband and I took vacation time to visit family in another state. It had been 21/2 years since we’d last seen them. After our visit I felt like my heart was full again because spending time with them meant so much. We all need vacations but we each tend to do them a…
Change
How much change to you have? Not the nickels, dimes and quarters in that glass jar or at the bottom of a purse. I mean the kind of change where something in your life goes a different direction usually with the change of circumstances. Because I’ve had a lot of change in my life in…
Names

Timing
A few months ago, soon after my Mom passed, we were cleaning out her apartment and needed to sell some of her furniture. My daughter suggested we post the items on FB Market Place. Soon after posting a couple wanted to come and see some of the furniture. As they looked and found other things…
Grief
I have been absent from my blog for a few months because my husband Phil and I were taking care of my Mom. Then on August 9 of this year my sweet Mom passed into the presence of her Savior. I picture Mom and Dad walking hand in hand as Dad shows her the wonders…
Recalculate
Nowadays, when going on a road trip or just trying to find an unfamiliar address, we use a directional app on our phone or a directional device. Gone are the days of pulling out the map in the glove compartment. If by chance you miss your exit or turn down the wrong road, a voice…
Riding a Bike
Do you remember the first time you conquered the ability to ride a two wheel bike? The excitement and pride of being able to go for a ride with no help. I recently received a video of two of my grandchildren, Meredith and Jude, riding their two wheel bikes all by themselves. And that’s all…
