• Fiery, Passionate Love

  Last year I wrote out my feelings about my nieces birthday and motherhood or lack of experience being a mother. Becoming an Aunt was an experience though and I went through all of that in this article from a year ago. Today is slightly different. Have you noticed something about recent crimes lately. The victims…

• The Company Picnic

  Saturday afternoon more late afternoon I would say we headed up to Terre Haute. The Company tends to go back and forth between Brazil Park and The Rex Baseball Field or The Bob Warn Field was what was on the facility. Apparently there are a few names that could be used in reference to this…

• Wonderful and Unusual

  My summer has officially begun as of last Friday. Somehow my niece has shaken up our usual schedule and we don’t know what’s going on except for a couple of facts. One being that my Dad and brother head to work at nearly 4 and Selena knows she wants to be out if we are…

• Summer Time

  This was Grandma Rosemary’s Welcome Swan Sign. The last few days have been busy. Who knew a preteen could have so many girls to follow her around all through our two weeks time with her. There are some other logistics that goes around with this too though! My niece has been reveling in her time…

• Play Time… Learning

  Technically I still feel like I am an amateur myself. Using a machine is much different than the sewing I have been doing with cross-stitch using my hands without a machine. Yet I was fortunate enough to find some paw print and Americana dog fabric lately, in the hopes to have some fun with my…

• Caricature’s of Republicans

  The Liberal press has been berating their opposition for years. It is no surprise that a New York magazine wrote a derogatory piece on Republican women. The question on the Cover was, “Are Republican Women okay?” The issue was written by Rebecca Traister. After listening to the Outnumbered session I was grateful to not have…

• A Musical Voice For Americans

  Earlier this morning I caught one of the many patriotic songs of a beloved musician and hero. There are a top ten list of his songs that are theme songs for the military and Veterans as well as their families. These musical albums are priceless. His death was in March, but I still feel his…

• Father’s Day Sunday

  Last night I was kind of thinking about the day’s events and it hit me how blessed I am. I have 3 church families who are so vastly interconnected through interactions of family and movement of friends going to different places. I would never have thought that last week I would be talking to a…

• Friday Night

  The temperature has risen around here. It has been in the 90’s range. Anywhere from 94 to 96 I believe are the numbers I have seen on the car monitor during the past few days. Going back and forth like we did was stressful enough on all of us in this heat, but that evening…

• A Victory For Women

  One of the recent articles I just received this evening from The Federalist is good news. The name most synonymous with Lia Thomas is Riley Gaines. A woman with a very powerful voice and platform right now. Why does she have this momentum? It’s because of males like Thomas who are masquerading as women to…
