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…

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.

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.…

The Results Are In
The election four years ago… led to this result. Late on Tuesday night maybe more so Wednesday morning I began thinking. Maybe too much. So much has happened in the past years since 2020. In 2020 on Election night I will never forget how I felt. There was an eerie feeling as I looked at…
