• 2024 State Fair

  There have been a handful or less years where our family has not gone annually to the Great Fair. It has always been a staple for the Alsman Family since before I was born. There was just no question we were going to the Fair each year. Of course, most of us also were in…

• Adding Some Flourish To Life

  This was the pillow that brought me to my climactic decision! Over the summer I was offered an opportunity to expand my capabilities. I was very much flattered and even now I still can’t believe the blessing of this amazing gift of my Mother’s friendship. Her classmate allowed me into her sanctuary this afternoon. If…

• “Stolen Valor”

  Last Thursday was the day that news really began pouring out about the potential Vice Presidential nominee chosen for the Democrat ticket. The opposing Vice Presidential nominee, sitting Senator J.D Vance had even accused Walz of “stolen valor.” A major accusation thrown and major snafus made by the man accused of such a thing. Perhaps…

• Going… Old School

  Last Thursday our internet went on and off a few different times from noontime to sometime during the evening. When it came time to slow down for the night Mom had been asking me to put a movie on. So since our dumb television wasn’t acting as smart I decided to look through my DVD…

• Saluting A Hero

  As I drove north up 41 into Terre Haute, during the first three stoplights, I began to notice the flags. Sometimes on a good windy day they are wonderful spreading their message far and wide. The message yesterday was that a former Sheriff of Terre Haute was being laid to rest. It was in his…

• Adapting To the RNC

  After watching the 2020 Republican Convention I was hooked. It was an amazing sight to observe even through the livestream at home. The Campaign’s slogan of reinvigorating our National Heritage hit me in all the right places. My Bachelors degree was Social Studies and history is a passion of mine. They way that last convention…

• A Women’s Ferocity

  Former Governor and Ambassador Nikki Haley is on the dais right now while I am beginning to type this out. As I am listening to her speech her sass stood out in the opening statements. She immediately threw out the gauntlet. She and Trump do not always see eye to eye. She came out with…

  Do not let the Liberal Media misdirect you, Saturday night was in fact meant to be Trump’s last night. I still remember seeing the article from my Telegram account. No matter how many times I say I am going to get off of it or part with Bryan from time to time I simply can’t…

  This weekend was not what I meant by ‘Big Events’ the other day in my last post. So many thoughts and feelings to still sort through from… everything. My feet right now are just warming up from being rained on up at Indianapolis. Thank God President Trump was only grazed. The Lord was truly watching…
