• Big Events

  So the past week we have watched the Democrat Party implode. It has been intriguing to watch their comments and backtracking of comments. Talk about a turn-about of the major parties. That was how the Republicans were just a year ago now we are united behind Trump like never before. The Nato Press Briefing last…

• Ladies Devotional Time

  As I mentioned it has been a rough 24 hours. My understanding and loving boyfriend and I have both been stretched to the limits in work and family situations. His support has been monumental though for the entire 3 years and 2 months as he says my support has been for him since day one.…

• A Bad Night and Rocky Morning

  Who would have thought one phone conversation could create such discontent? Yesterday was a long day after an exhausting emotional weekend. Plus we keep hearing about more deaths. I had a couple back and forth messages between my cousin about 4 deaths within the past 3 weeks. Then yesterday after we got to Aunt Helen’s…

• My Monday

  For a few seconds I didn’t think we would get our walk in. I got up and didn’t want to physically leave the bed. I had to take my pill though, so I forced myself to take it. Then went back to bed for a couple minutes more. Somehow I found the strength to get…

• Craft Shop

  This weekend has been a whirlwind. My Etsy shop is finally online. However, only two items are on it due to various reasons from this week. I am excited and anxious about this whole thing. This has been my project since at least April. I am finally live. It has taken months to get over…

• My Thoughts This Very Sad Sunday

  This past week had been a good week. Monday and Tuesday we said our earthly goodbye to my Great-Great Uncle Dick who had already been reunited with loved ones and who finally got to meet Christ. It was sad only because we are left behind, he no longer deals with pain or tears. We even…

• A Rainy 4th of July

  Does this mean that God is crying over this Country today? A kaleidoscope of memories has run through my mind this morning. Different years fanning through my head of spending meals and afternoons at Grandma’s house and now we are on a new chapter in the Bishop Family. This will be our 2nd year of…

• 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…
