Change of Routine
Lately I have felt like I am in a holding pattern. Simply waiting for things to happen one way or another. After my last two surgeries some accidents or incidents happened that have me a little paranoid about throwing myself back into a job. However, there is a job position I am considering which will…

The Countdown Is On
The last list has been written down. However, some last minute cleaning duties are still being done. Dad did the outside stuff weeks ago and it made the carport, back patio, front patio and the picnic table look nearly brand new once again. A day or two ago a new idea came to mind. I…

The Last 24 Hours…
Last night after we rested from processing and getting the corn to the point of freezing we were then readying ourselves for this morning.

Processing… Sweet Corn

The Morning After
For some reason I don’t remember sleeping very well that first night. Not having my medicine was a big part of it, but I did do a lot of resting in the hospital waiting on the Anesthesiologist, and then waiting on my original bed in the pre-op area again. I spent no less than an…

Writing Prompt
What were your favorite TV shows growing up? There were several and I wrote about them in past writing prompts. There are two shows I don’t think I have written about specifically. One of them was brought back to mind on Sunday after watching the newest ‘Chicken Sisters’ hour that aired. David James Elliot guest…

Musing About My Sunday
Why does it feel like a decade sometimes happens in the span of one Sunday? This morning I woke up underneath a shadow it seems. The night before left my thoughts in a twisted mess. Sundays were always Church days but as equally important all of our family was at church both services and sometimes…
