• Praying With Love

  When Aunt Carol was having her health issues I felt compelled to ask for prayers. More than once, it seemed like she was closer to heaven’s door than we thought. I found myself huddled over my laptop barely getting through the blog before flooding with tears by the time I posted. Now, like I said…

• Love In Perspective

  Even with the past hectic week, today was special. You know how it goes with planning well this came together kind of last minute. The results though hit the mark. Mom got to have a birthday she wanted. Today allowed me to take a step back from some this crazy week and give Mom what…

• Music & Goosebumps…

  Last night was my niece’s Spring Concert. To be honest a little more communication was needed from all the staff to the parents. There are two locations on the campus where a Concert can be held and we were originally told it would be the High School Gym. Nope. It was the Elementary Gym, I…

• Poignant Weekends

  The day that was instrumental in my decision to once again share the intricacies God reveals behind a snapshot of a moment in my life. Two Saturdays ago was that day. So many things had to happen a certain way for me to have an open heart to appreciate the layered beauty of the Mother’s…

• The Road to Memories

  Driving. Thursday afternoon. Nerves. My nerves were raw and I was so nervous I was sweating beads for two reasons. Highway 54 was closed and will be closed for a while. It’s the main thoroughfare from Sullivan to Linton unless you know and use the backroads. Fortunately I do, as a good former Farmers daughter…

• Saturday… A Life Well Lived

  Saturday was quite a day. The morning started off great then I went out with my parents to Cow Town in Carlisle. After enjoying our food though things took a twist. We didn’t make it all the way home. We were less than 10 minutes from home when Dad thought the sounds were way too…

• Coping With Healing

  Before Thanksgiving I was exploring my options with jobs. There were a couple of interviews that were done and unfortunately one was good for me or it wasn’t good enough for them and I didn’t get a call or email back. One would have been too difficult to train for with all the driving on…

• A Big Week, Big Changes

  Besides Thanksgiving my family is celebrating and beginning a new chapter. Tomorrow my Dad will be going to work for the last time. It was a big change for our Farmer to stop farming after nearly 30 years. This is another big step for him. Plus my brother will have to finally start driving for…

• Writing Prompt:

  What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals? Does this mean homemade or eating out? For our household, my family likes Mom’s or my version of homecooked Lasagna. After that, and this is absolutely my version, in my order homemade pizza would be next. Still this is difficult to only name 3 favorite meals. Spaghetti…
