How Did I Get Here?
Do you ask yourself this question ever or once in a while? Sometimes I get to a point where I look at my age or the holes in my family or just what I feel I am lacking in my life at this exact moment. Life changes, but it seems the speed only increases as…

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…

A Photo Album
Over a month ago one of my Aunts asked me if I would make a picture album for Grandma. She said she was trying to do it herself and then… she got to thinking. She knew I had some quote, “fancy tools” to work with. I am certain she would have made something very well…

The New Greatest Generation of Americans
As I usually do I browse through the you-tube news clips first thing in the morning, mainly Fox. Today I watched Laura Ingraham with one guest and in my feed three more of his cohorts were on another show. So I watched both of them. I am not afraid to admit I was in tears…

Second Trial Run

As I have specified over the past week I have been dealing with allergies. Although the last 48 hours have been really good. No sneezing, but lots…

My family just went through Bloomington last Thursday and Saturday. Thursday was when I really caught up on the protest in…

The Keffiyeh
Memories have resurfaced in seeing this scarf on American campuses and really domestically, coast to coast. I still remember as a child during the Clinton Administration watching Yasser Arafat on the news proudly wearing his keffiyeh as the PLO Leader, the Palestine Liberation Organization at Camp David. Watching some of the Jewish interviews on Fox…

It’s Sunday… Again Already
Wow the past few days have been like a whirlwind. I left you all with a story Friday about a Bridal Shower and a Gift. It took me a while just to get that piece written and posted. Thursday was just a day I decided to enjoy my surroundings and not think about posting until…

Waiting… For God’s Answer
Last Saturday was a Bridal Shower for a friend. To begin this story though I have to back up to two years ago. When I was working at Fresenius about to take my Competency Test to stay on the floor. It was quite frustrating because this one particular week was the week I gave my…
