• Monday: An Appointment… A Memory

  Honestly with a few different layers of stress falling on me every day or every other day I didn’t want to get up that morning. What I didn’t understand was that my younger brother would be working early that morning and I had thought he might accompany Mom while Dad had his appointment. So I…

• God, Family & Sports… Listen to His Words

  Harrison Butker Commencement Speaker at Benedictine College Atchison Kansas Catholic Liberal Arts Campus Words spoken by a man with lived experiences is absolutely priceless when shadowed by the liberals crocodile tears in consternation fashion.

• Introducing The Week’s Appointments

  This week is the week that several appointments have been scheduled for all in one week. I didn’t realize how many there would be or that I would end up being at the first one on Monday. Already there was a moment of reflection from yesterday. Today was a doozy driving on the interstate and…

• Sunday, Sunday

  Thankfully, the Lord allowed me to return to Grandma’s Church a second time yesterday. I woke up feeling really pretty good for a change after sleeping in just a little bit. I hadn’t told Grandma of my plans and weren’t exactly sure how I would be feeling after everything this week. However, my medicines were…

• Projects Galore

  You have seen little glimpses of my projects this week. Honestly I don’t think I have gotten enough sleep or spent much time dilly dallying from these 3 tasks. I hadn’t had much extra time to work on the kitchen much since Monday. It would have been nice to get it done for Sunday at…

• May Twelfth

  Since I was born we were taught that this is a day for our Mothers. It’s a wonderful day to spend time with and give the women in our lives gifts and attention. In my household though it’s a double whammy with the special days. The day that’s meant to honor my Mom and Grandmas…

• A 9th Heaven Excursion

  For a short and sweet less than three whole days out of Sullivan County we still had time and not a lot of activities to do. We did most of it on Thursday, but there was a certain store we passed that I didn’t want to miss. I almost thought on Friday that I simply…

  My contacts were still in the coffee cups at midnight so I am not referring to hours earlier. Instead it was midnight maybe or 1 am when I heard everyone in the room talk about the power being off. I couldn’t tell until I realized the air conditioner was not working. This was a new…
