Family Project
Several years ago now, Dad had to make us a new swing for our frame. I don’t remember what happened besides it was cheaply made and broke. The new swing is much heavily and sturdily built. A work of art really. Earlier this year Mom and I got to talking about Grandma and Grandpa’s old…

September 21st…at Church
Arriving at church with my Uncle gave me such a sense of relief that morning. In my morning stupor I had forgotten to make and bring a gallon of sweet tea. I was told though by a couple different ladies it was okay and not to worry about it. Due to the fact it was…

Queasy
Yesterday I actually got to watch as my Therapist took apart my bandage. I don’t think I have really observed it due to the angles of the surgical site on my arm. This time though I saw the bandage come undone and then the boatloads of gauze keeping my surgical site dry and clean. Still…

Has Fall Set In?
We all had a difficult time getting started this morning. Somewhere I realized I had some achiness. Yet I hadn’t taken any Ibuprofen this morning, but I do feel the weather was mostly to blame for it. My time this morning was spent applying and going through the ridiculously long process to apply for a…

A Sweet Sunday Musing
The Lord answered our prayers. The prayers of many of us. This morning I went to church down at Pleasantville and my brother was in the car with me. He finally made it to Sunday School and Church after several years of doing the online or Livestream method for far too long. The good part…

The Nuances of Life
Yesterday I ended up driving my Mom and brother to the podiatrist. Not quite 2 weeks since surgery and I’ve still got a couple more days with it on. Again I found myself sitting right in front of my former workplace. A distant memory came back to me. The church lady and friend Yvonne came…

Sunday Morning of the 21st
Once Mom left my room and she and Dad headed towards Sullivan, I tried to go back to sleep. I had at least 3 alarms to make sure I woke up to prepare the Lasagna. Yet I had a heavy heart… I prayed over the situation and that help would be presented and somehow things…

September 20th…
The night before this busy Sunday one of our prayers came true. My brother got his daughter for an extended time, longer than expected. He was excited and so were we that he got his girl for a bit longer for his birthday present. Due to that she got to eat some of Papaw’s Fried…

Flowers & Food Create Smiles
Today is a week, since surgery. I’m itchy more than achy like I was at this stage back in March. The heat has been more irritating than anything besides my nausea the last few days. The nausea usually goes away by afternoon the itchiness and heat don’t. Still I’m just feeling blessed that this journey…

September 21st…
Such a busy day for our family emotionally as it was physically. There are so many facets to this day like there were on Saturday, March 15th, the day after my earlier surgery this spring. Part of being a journalist at any level from amateur, beginner to advanced journalism means offering up intense glimpses of…
