• My Monday

  For a few seconds I didn’t think we would get our walk in. I got up and didn’t want to physically leave the bed. I had to take my pill though, so I forced myself to take it. Then went back to bed for a couple minutes more. Somehow I found the strength to get…

• Craft Shop

  This weekend has been a whirlwind. My Etsy shop is finally online. However, only two items are on it due to various reasons from this week. I am excited and anxious about this whole thing. This has been my project since at least April. I am finally live. It has taken months to get over…

• My Thoughts This Very Sad Sunday

  This past week had been a good week. Monday and Tuesday we said our earthly goodbye to my Great-Great Uncle Dick who had already been reunited with loved ones and who finally got to meet Christ. It was sad only because we are left behind, he no longer deals with pain or tears. We even…

• 1776

  The name William Daniels didn’t mean as much to me until yesterday. After I realized no other Independence type movie was to be on within this guide I turned to the Movie channel and was pleasantly surprised to find one specific show. It was called 1776 but it was a movie adaptation of the Broadway…

• Pride on The 4th

  I scrolled through my Friendly TV guide for the day. I had to go all the way down to the Movie channel to find anything pertaining to July 4th. It probably shouldn’t surprise me, but it did. I thought at the very least ‘For Love and Honor would be on starring James Denton. There was…

• A Rainy 4th of July

  Does this mean that God is crying over this Country today? A kaleidoscope of memories has run through my mind this morning. Different years fanning through my head of spending meals and afternoons at Grandma’s house and now we are on a new chapter in the Bishop Family. This will be our 2nd year of…

• Cemeteries… A Peaceful Solitude

  Heading back to the Cemetery this morning almost always feels good. It means exercise time and about half of the time we can say it is actually peaceful. I guess we have to have a reason to pay the mowers right! There are times they beat us and vice versa. Today once again they beat…

• The Debate Night

  Thursday evening was quite a night. After over a week of having up to three girls most of the time we had just one that day. It was a day of catching up to our bodies physically for me and my Mom. It was also our last evening with our girl before heading back to…

• Saying Goodbye For Now

  This morning I have to admit I was a bit irritated. I got up early and was ready to walk by 7 am. Mom had taken off with my brother to get milk so I got a little flustered by this when we have been trying to get up early to walk and today was…

• Fleeing For Our Lives…

  Mom and I enjoy walking. Thankfully we have gotten back up to a half an hour routine. Of course we do walk in the local cemetery. I have mentioned before it is where a lot of family and friends stones are standing tall. The reason we walk there is because it’s really just a nice…
