• The End of A Chapter

  Today is the end of a very long closing process. My Dad made his trip to the garden a couple of times to get all of the goodies he could that needed to be picked today. Before they headed off to meet with the buyers and his sisters as well as Grandma to sign paperwork,…

• Today Is A Milestone

  My parents are celebrating 40 years of Marriage. In a time where marriages of longevity seem to be diminishing, there are still those living a blessed life of ups and downs and making it through them together. Today has been special in little ways and they were able to have a date night Friday evening.…

• March

  Last year at this time was when our family had to start making some difficult decisions. In some ways it feels like 10 years have passed. So much has happened in this one year within the Bishop Family. I didn’t think I could personally get to this moment. Allowing strangers into this house that has…

• 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…

• Cleaning For The Soul

  I decided sometime during the early part of December to clean out my room. Christmastime is absolutely the perfect time, right? Probably not, but I needed it not just for my room, but for my soul. Do you ever get that way? Needing to make not just a change of your venue, but to clean…

• 1890

  The world in 1890 was much different when this little girl was born today. Dugger where she lived most of her life was a mining town and she lived just south of the town. Ironically, I just described myself, but I will come back to this thought later. Mining would be a part of her…

• Home Sweet Home

  Goodness having a change of scenery was so great. However, I will be so grateful to be back in my own bed alone in my room. Having some peace and quiet and my own bathroom with privacy will be nice tonight. Today has been a quaint day coming home. Again the foliage was so bright…

• Jewels Being Dug Up

  Reality hit me in the face this afternoon. About 2 months ago my first published article was on finding some family gems I had thought were lost. The feelings that seeing those pieces of my family history were overwhelming at the very least. Those tokens have revealed a different side of Grandpa I don’t really…
