• 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…

• 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…

• 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…

• 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…

• Summer Time

  This was Grandma Rosemary’s Welcome Swan Sign. The last few days have been busy. Who knew a preteen could have so many girls to follow her around all through our two weeks time with her. There are some other logistics that goes around with this too though! My niece has been reveling in her time…

• Father’s Day Sunday

  Last night I was kind of thinking about the day’s events and it hit me how blessed I am. I have 3 church families who are so vastly interconnected through interactions of family and movement of friends going to different places. I would never have thought that last week I would be talking to a…
