• Valentines Day Story #2

  One year not very long after Grandpa Freddy died a new movie came out. According to the date this movie came out nearly 6 years after his death. I still remember the Hallmark Movie being on a CBS Special Presentation. Dad and I initially watched it together that night. Mom I think fell asleep before…

• What were your parents doing at your age?-Writing Prompt

  Farming. It was our life and our livelihood. They had three kids and I wouldn’t have been quite a teenager as of yet. We as the Alsman Family were closer when we farmed. Grandpa Freddy was our rock and our foundation as a family. He kept us glued together. He prayed for us and with…

• Thinking About Eve Again

  Maybe it’s because I had that childlike faith growing up in a God-fearing family and church family or just because this is a story from the beginning of time in Genesis. I thought Cain and Abel were more of the age of children when this event happened. Sometimes age doesn’t always factor into the stories…

• Roller-Coaster of Emotions

  Today, February 6th is a day I don’t often forget. It is as woven into my heart as December 12th of 1999. The days that my Grandpas died. As I have said it has felt like a lot for one morning. The 19th anniversary, finding out about Toby Keith’s passing from yesterday and then is…

• After Church Thoughts

  Lately I have been writing less on Saturdays. Letting myself go with the flow and doing some cross-stitching projects that are for specific times. It has been somewhat fun getting back into this creative fissure once again I had put it away for quite a while. It is nice to not be on my laptop…

• Soldiers

  Well… it has finally unsurprisingly happened. Another 3 American troops to add to Biden’s bloodied hands. The toll of our Nation’s finest since he took over the Oval Office is 18 not to mention the thousands and millions of fentanyl deaths also because he refuses to close the border and our American Citizens still being…

• A Drivers License

  In December I got a reminder to renew my license. Fortunately it’s not something I forget, but it has been put on the back-burner a few times. The reminder was more for the Real-ID which you have to have several documents with you to get done. My license was good until the end of the…

• My Wednesday Morning…

  Since I found out today would be the viewing for this man I have to admit I have dreaded it. For some reason, even though I know the ladies that worked at Dialysis have never actually been seen at the viewings of the patients they say they love, don’t show up. I was early today…

• A Fact of Life… & Dialysis

  This morning I was rehashing with my boyfriend SAD-seasonal affective disorder. I have had to live with it with some family members. Most recently the weather has made walking much colder and harder to walk outside. Around here there aren’t too many good areas for exercise for free. Stress and lack of sunlight during the…
