• A Vintage Coloring Card #7

  Looking at this card was very intriguing. It seemed so much like a Grandma Rosie card. She was very artsy herself and this was amazing to see in all of its pages. I wonder what age I received this card? Why didn’t I ever try to color any of these pages? I do think this…

• 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…

• A 6th Birthday Card

  This card, fortunately, actually has a year written on it; 1995. Aunt Carol wrote it down when she signed for most of the family. Jeff is ironically not on the card, but he’s in the photo down below. He served in the Navy for a time, I’m not sure what years, but could have been…

• My Weekend Thoughts

  Saturday seems like a month ago already. I just had to pause a few minutes to think about my activity from that day. Mom and I had to gas up the car and my car and get groceries in 22 degree weather. Even with my dressing for the weather I still froze while gassing up…

• Vintage Cards #5: Cats

  Three Birthday cards and each one a cat. Which one do you like most? That’s a difficult answer for me to post, for obvious reasons! Both sets of grandparents the A’s and B’s plus my Uncle Denny and Aunt Kambi gave me these cards. I do have to say Aunt Kambi had the prettiest handwriting.…

• 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…

• Answered Prayers

  Yesterday morning after I was dressed and ready for church I finally looked at my phone. Every other Sunday throughout the year we get my niece, but she has had multiple reasons to not come with either me or my parents to church. Her father was raised in church. He now seems to think Sunday…

• Tuckered Out… But Smiling

  After a long weekend a bit of a break was needed. Since last Thursday I have felt like I haven’t been able to catch my breath. Plus I didn’t have any Pepsi, or Dr. Pepper in a couple of days. So Monday after Christmas dinner I literally fell asleep for a bit on Christmas Day.…

• 1924

  There are so many photos taken that I nearly don’t need words. If a photo is literally worth a 1000 words these photos should speak for themselves right? This little guy looks pretty happy doesn’t he? He was an only child at this point. Bill and Mary, his parents lived in Carlisle and went to…

• Personal Thoughts

  I was looking forward to working on some articles this evening. Unfortunately that idea was completely shanghaied. I am unhappy how tonight unfolded after specifically saying the word ‘No’ more once. Actually I am pretty certain it was said at least 3 different times. Even though we didn’t sanction the arrival of some kids after…
