Cemeteries… A Peaceful Solitude

Heading back to the Cemetery this morning almost always feels good. It means exercise time and about half of the time we can say it is actually peaceful. I guess we have to have a reason to pay the mowers right! There are times they beat us and vice versa. Today once again they beat…

Saying Goodbye For Now

This morning I have to admit I was a bit irritated. I got up early and was ready to walk by 7 am. Mom had taken off with my brother to get milk so I got a little flustered by this when we have been trying to get up early to walk and today was…

Fleeing For Our Lives…

Mom and I enjoy walking. Thankfully we have gotten back up to a half an hour routine. Of course we do walk in the local cemetery. I have mentioned before it is where a lot of family and friends stones are standing tall. The reason we walk there is because it’s really just a nice…

Tornado Alley

A few days of not having more than one child and we are still recuperating. Last night Dad couldn’t even use the printer because of some girls printing and printing Lilo and Stitch pictures. It took me and Dad nearly 10 minutes to figure out how many times they had forced this to print over…

Take Advantage Of Your Time

One week ago we had a little birthday party for my Great-Great Uncle Dick. There was a special voice of God directing Mom and possibly Great Aunt Helen about last Wednesday. They were determined to spend time with him for his birthday. Thank God we did! This morning Aunt Helen couldn’t get a hold of…

Why Sewing Matters

Growing up in my family on both my parents sides were not just the agile crafters, but women who had essential skills to provide for their family. Crafting and making pretty or simply functional clothing is not an extravagance or something that is not useful. Sewing was a skill in the American past that was…

Forgetful

This morning I plugged in my phone to get it a little more charged. It was just shy a few percentages of being completely full once more. I hate having it less than when I go to an appointment and don’t know how long I will be gone. So I didn’t predict this happening, but…

Fiery, Passionate Love

Last year I wrote out my feelings about my nieces birthday and motherhood or lack of experience being a mother. Becoming an Aunt was an experience though and I went through all of that in this article from a year ago. Today is slightly different. Have you noticed something about recent crimes lately. The victims…

The Company Picnic

Saturday afternoon more late afternoon I would say we headed up to Terre Haute. The Company tends to go back and forth between Brazil Park and The Rex Baseball Field or The Bob Warn Field was what was on the facility. Apparently there are a few names that could be used in reference to this…

Wonderful and Unusual

My summer has officially begun as of last Friday. Somehow my niece has shaken up our usual schedule and we don’t know what’s going on except for a couple of facts. One being that my Dad and brother head to work at nearly 4 and Selena knows she wants to be out if we are…
