Papaw’s Truck
The past few weeks have been just a little emotional. Two grandfathers have died in my community. I detailed how a great-granddaughter took me back to my own Grandpa’s funeral reminding me how much I miss all my grandpa’s and great-grandpa I got to meet. Our elders are a treasure. The last couple of weeks…

Still Mourning…
Friday I found myself at a funeral. It wasn’t for a family member thank goodness. For anyone who knows what my family has been through the past few months. More than one cousin, first and beyond the first cousin label. No this was even closer as far as proximity to my home. My family has…

Praying With Love
When Aunt Carol was having her health issues I felt compelled to ask for prayers. More than once, it seemed like she was closer to heaven’s door than we thought. I found myself huddled over my laptop barely getting through the blog before flooding with tears by the time I posted. Now, like I said…

Photos In Time
Yesterday besides catching the movie on the USS Indianapolis I saw another one. This is one made from 1959. Carey Grant and Tony Curtis were the lead roles. Operation Petticoat. I cannot count how many times I have seen this movie… too many to remember. There are times though when I think of the photos…

My Pillow Phenomena
Honestly I can’t really remember if this happened late in December or early this year. The timing doesn’t really matter though. What truly matters is that a lot was going on family wise in my family and in my church families. Sickness, surgery and death had taken place and it was a difficult time. My…

Saturday… A Life Well Lived
Saturday was quite a day. The morning started off great then I went out with my parents to Cow Town in Carlisle. After enjoying our food though things took a twist. We didn’t make it all the way home. We were less than 10 minutes from home when Dad thought the sounds were way too…
