• 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…

• A Prayer of Gratefulness

  Heavenly Gracious Father, sometimes I forget how big You are day to day. I let the daily grind gnaw me down. Stress has been intrusive as well as physically with my allergies. Just in the last couple of days I have been sneezing more although I am pretty certain why and it has to do…

• Remembering

  Last night I had to came to a decision. After posting my one article of the day I thought I would have another one. Still I promised I would get to bed earlier than the previous two nights. I wanted to post my thoughts for these big anniversaries today. For 84 years Rosemary Alsman was…

• Thoughts on Today

  Last night the sewing machine went down on me. I have to get some oil in order to get it going again. So in the meantime this morning after taking our walk Mom and I did some looking for the other machine. Grandma had a mobile machine the brand is Brother, but since I took…

• Goodness Gracious

  Great balls of fire… everything has been pure chaos since Friday morning. Being shut out of my niece’s life essentially for the better half of a year has been greatly felt this weekend. In both good ways and somewhat treacherous ways my Mom and I have felt the differences in moods and thoughts. Boy… it…

• Sewing Time

  Getting to this point today has taken quite a while. Really too much time because of my battle with the allergies the last couple of months. I did what I could, but there were nights I shouldn’t have even had a needle in my hand because my head just wasn’t working right. Unfortunately I did…

• Words Cannot Do Justice…

  Since Friday so many things have happened. A tidal wave almost completely knocked me off my feet that evening. Between the exhaustion of dealing with my ongoing allergies and trying to decipher some unique circumstances I have personally been dealing with and all these darn appointments… Friday I just couldn’t type my words, my thoughts…

• Sunday, Sunday

  Thankfully, the Lord allowed me to return to Grandma’s Church a second time yesterday. I woke up feeling really pretty good for a change after sleeping in just a little bit. I hadn’t told Grandma of my plans and weren’t exactly sure how I would be feeling after everything this week. However, my medicines were…

• A Beautiful Sunday

  There’s so much to process still. My day began a little after 7 am when I had to assist Mom with Dad’s birthday cake. I still had another alarm that didn’t have time to go off because Mom decided to wake me up instead. Church wasn’t supposed to start until after 10 am so I…
