Cleaning Time Finds
Monday when I began cleaning up a literal storm I found a few things. Some clothes I forgot existed and some odds and ends hiding in various corners of boxes. It was kind of funny, but nice to find some things I realized I really missed and needed. Cross-Stitch was not just busybody work for…

24 Years Later… Thoughts
Today through the years has always been a measuring stick of sorts for me. I thought for certain I would have a finished book by the 20 year mark and that didn’t happen. Now we are at the 24 years later. Grandpa has now been gone longer than I had actual time with him. This…

Over 700 Articles
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever believe I could write this amount in just over 8 months this year. I have covered a lot of topics in the past 8 months. Many topics that came straight from the news headlines, but also history and family stories. Goodness… I have shared personal upsets and…

Self-Inspection
Starting on Wednesday some memories began hitting me. The question of what I was doing last year right before Thanksgiving… well it nearly took me back to that frustration I had almost forgotten.

Lack of Cognizance… of History
I am still trying to digest these facts. Young Americans are believing that a terrorist can have something to say to Americans after what happened on September 11th by terrorists.

Today America Rallies for Israel
Since the awful day of October 7th the news and social media has covered nonstop hate. You would think like after what happened at the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania that it would be hate for the acts of terror perpetuated on that day. The hate has been for the actual…

Sunday School
As a girl who was taught to respect scripture current events boggle my mind. Israel is a special nation for God; they have been treated both with disdain and with special credence throughout history. The Bible shows us their history specifically. This either shows my age or the fact this younger generation doesn’t respect history.…

Irons In the Fire
This week has been quite a week. Watching current events have been jostling to say the least, especially in Congress. Averting a government shutdown should have been a high for the Republicans to float on for a while longer than we had. Now we have three names for Speaker in the hat, Biden not caring…

Chaos Erupts
The thought of Rep. Matt Gaetz actually accruing all the votes necessary didn’t seem feasible this morning. Boy was I wrong. When he first came onto the scene a few short years ago he was energetic and a Republican. I understand both sides of this issue. The CR, the Continuing Resolution is an enabling function…

Relating Yesterday’s Photo’s: The Books
Collecting books is awesome. Especially when the books came with a story or that people had me in mind when they saw a certain book. Somehow that’s pretty special knowing they had remembered my love for history and thought of me; it’s a special connection to the book. There are several books I had tried…
