The Gift of Love
May is a somewhat difficult month to be a non-married woman. I have been told at least twice that I can’t say the ‘s’ word. My boyfriend had to remind me not to refer to myself as single. Even though anyone who has seen me throughout the days and weeks would be sure I absolutely…

Sunday Night Thoughts
Since my Grandpa Leo died 23 years ago Sundays have been set aside for Grandma-time. Not exactly all of us at times, but we are pretty determined. There are not very many Sundays in all these years that she didn’t have at least one visitor. Even now being in a residence her room is usually…

A Musical Experience
Our family getaway destination through the years has been Branson. One of the best finds, as in shows, was the beautiful Theater of Sights and Sounds. The first time we drove onto the property, we saw it from quite a distance, it was exciting. I didn’t go in that first time Dad just went in…

Man and Woman

The Colonial Fight Then… and Today
Artemus Ward, George Washington, Joseph Reed, Nathanael Greene and Henry Knox: these are a very short list of the countless names imprinted on our American story. Do you know each name and what each one of them gave and did for us to have our Freedoms today. Last night I was blown away by the…

We are A Special Miracle
American History, what does this phrase make you think or feel? Do these words bubble up, old, boredom, not necessary for today? If that is what you think do you know your own history? Do you realize our very existence as Americans is nothing short of absolutely Miraculous? For starters the men who were envisioning…

Be the Salt
Not everything around us is complete doom and gloom. The new 118th Congress has made accountability very refreshing. Besides the 20 Republican Congressmen and women made their indelible mark of the year revelations have been consistent. The investigations have been wonderfully unveiling of issues that have literally been thrown to the bottom of the list…

Sunday Night Thoughts
I think the coolness of the morning seeped into my bones. I had every intention of being at church all day today. I even wore a dress I hadn’t worn for quite a while feeling good about it. So what went wrong? By the way I still feel weird about selfies. I get very self-conscious…
