Again, Last Week…
Days later some things really started heating up. Only I didn’t realize it until noontime on either Thursday or Friday. This is when we first heard Bear Run Mine was closed. Noontime family meals all run together because cooking in the kitchen gets really hot. So which day I heard what goes in one ear…

A Weekend Twist
Life is always a mess of decisions and actions. The question is how will you make those very decisions and actions. My parents and I get roped into various situations that were thought out with very little thought to begin with. The actions or rather inactions of others have put us into being Grandpa, Grandma…

An American Picker
I’m not sure when we started to find “American Pickers” on the TV screens. It began only on our vacations, because we didn’t have cable. Then in the last couple of years I have added a ‘Frndly Tv’ subscription and our air channels have aired past shows. This didn’t just become a Dad and me…

What A Perspective!
So not too long before our Bishop Reunion I got a request. This was a very special request from a young girl. A girl who was about to turn the big Birthday of 10. Our Sunday afternoons at Grandma’s, her Great-Grandma’s has been quite a journey for us. Watching her grow up to this age…

Family, Time and Projects

Loss…
A year ago tomorrow still seems all too vivid. Getting the phone call that said a decision had been made by my Aunt. She was ready to go home… to be with the Lord. After fighting a good fight she stepped back in order to let God do His will. The toll on this decision…

Thought Provoking Movies
Late this afternoon I decided to watch one of the new movies on Great American Family. It was called “Finding Faith.” Some notable names like John Schneider and Vivica Fox were in the show. It has been a show that I have seen previewed but didn’t get the story-line until I sat and watched it…

Homecoming Season
Two weeks of Church Homecomings. It’s a lot of preparation. Last week was my parents church and yesterday was my church at Pleasantville. Both were wonderful days. We celebrated 205 years yesterday at the Pleasantville Community Church. They split from the Methodist Church due to the growing malfeasance by the Global and domestic church entity.…

In The Zone
Back in the month of May I was sweetly asked to work on a project for Grandma. Aunt Martha knows how I like to work with my hands, but more importantly I have a Cri-Cut cutter and sometimes a creative nature to work with my various art skills and tools. It was an honor and…
