Nausea…
Yesterday, I woke up feeling pretty good considering my arm was dead from the clavicle pain bloc on Thursday. Then somehow Friday to Saturday it turned from feeling numb to being like a couple of bricks instead of my arm. It happens slowly until I get worn out from not sitting down and propping it…

The Food in our ‘Fish Fry’ Birthday Party
Mostly the guys caught Blue Gill. Good sized Blue Gill. Dad was afraid there wouldn’t be enough at first. I am the one who suggested Popcorn Shrimp. I thought it would help to have another type of fish and I knew a certain teenager liked it over the actual fish. As this photo portrays Mom…

Wicked… Women of the Bible
There are some days when things seem off. Wednesday was that day for me. It was a week later after the assassination so I just imagine what his family feels like. I didn’t even meet him and he made such an effect, but that wasn’t solely my dysfunction. A couple of days later I realized…

His death hurts his family most obviously, but secondly it hurts this Country in the long run because he was such a unique figure in our Religious and Political landscape. Truly a one in a million persona who could weave from religion to politics…

A Tragedy
The name Charlie Kirk did not come to my attention until January 2021 I believe. It was when I left Facebook for a time and found myself going from one platform to another following Conservative voices. Being out of college for awhile it took me a while to learn about him as well as others…

The Countdown Is On
The last list has been written down. However, some last minute cleaning duties are still being done. Dad did the outside stuff weeks ago and it made the carport, back patio, front patio and the picnic table look nearly brand new once again. A day or two ago a new idea came to mind. I…
