Second “Wedding Shower” Photo
When I took these photos I missed one of the cards that was still in the envelope Grandma wrote on. This is the invite to the ‘Wedding Shower’ at Grandma’s Church. There’s a lot of gifts on that table. My parents both have better cursive writing than I do. Looking through these pieces of history…

Family Life Is Not Perfect

Words of Love
While singing and listening to the words of Shania’s fan favorites my mind went to one man. ‘It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing’, caught me as I was singing along. Never in my life have I deemed to understand these words. Being half a country away from him seems dire from time to time. Before…
