A Couple of Days…
Since Friday things have been building up, although in all reality it’s been going on a while longer. Trying to figure out how to walk on egg shells is how this feels for me thinking about writing about the last few days. It’s easy for me to broadcast my emotions, write about my thoughts and…

Celebrations of Life
The past week has been a myriad of emotions when I think of the death of Charlie Kirk and my Grandma’s 99th birthday. The profound sadness I was engulfed in especially last Wednesday and Thursday was punctured when I got the message that Ericka Kirk was speaking to the World on Friday night. Only 2…

Change of Routine
Lately I have felt like I am in a holding pattern. Simply waiting for things to happen one way or another. After my last two surgeries some accidents or incidents happened that have me a little paranoid about throwing myself back into a job. However, there is a job position I am considering which will…

Musing on Sunday Night
This morning in Sunday School I saw the words ‘vulnerable communities’ in our book and couldn’t help myself. Charlie was ministering to such a community. College students needed to be taught to be more able to question the Liberal professors trying to dictate their thoughts. And he did his way. However, when I tried discussing…

Overwhelmed
This morning I was awakened way too early for the morning after Grandma’s party. I had hoped to sleep in longer, Bryan wouldn’t have it though. He wanted to talk to me last night, but I was physically and emotionally exhausted. So I promised him this morning; our definition of morning was not the same.…

Today has had a big twist. My heart has ached for the Kirk Family and their unexpected loss. However, even in the midst of this heartache there is a silver lining he knew Christ and had Salvation. We may be mourning as a nation or at least half of the country, but Heaven gained a…

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…

Processing… Sweet Corn
Honestly, I’m not certain when I was old enough to notice my family and our sweet corn freezing process. Only that we have done it all the years we have been farmers. Technically Dad became a farmer when I was 5, but Papaw Freddy was always a farmer at heart. So it would seem forever.…

The Reunion, 2025
Seeing family is good. Sometimes we only see our other branches on this day alone though, sadly. We don’t always have everybody most years and some skip a year every once in a while. It all depends on our schedules I suppose. Or on how long it takes us to get to the Shelter house…
