• Loving Reagan

  There are different themes I found from the movie Reagan yesterday. It took sleeping overnight to marinate on the two-hour long biopic and some research this morning. Two books came to mind this morning when I wanted to look inside Ronald Reagan’s life. Both are written by the same author, C. Brian Kelly, “The Best…

• My First Thoughts…

  Tears. Laughter. Love. American Pride. Watching this movie was quite an experience. I am still digesting the couple hours of sitting. It was a bit surreal because we have not watched a movie in a movie theater in years. I can’t even remember the last movie we watched in any theater in the last 5…

• Saluting A Hero

  As I drove north up 41 into Terre Haute, during the first three stoplights, I began to notice the flags. Sometimes on a good windy day they are wonderful spreading their message far and wide. The message yesterday was that a former Sheriff of Terre Haute was being laid to rest. It was in his…

• 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,…

• A Bad Night and Rocky Morning

  Who would have thought one phone conversation could create such discontent? Yesterday was a long day after an exhausting emotional weekend. Plus we keep hearing about more deaths. I had a couple back and forth messages between my cousin about 4 deaths within the past 3 weeks. Then yesterday after we got to Aunt Helen’s…

• My Thoughts This Very Sad Sunday

  This past week had been a good week. Monday and Tuesday we said our earthly goodbye to my Great-Great Uncle Dick who had already been reunited with loved ones and who finally got to meet Christ. It was sad only because we are left behind, he no longer deals with pain or tears. We even…

• Saying Goodbye For Now

  This morning I have to admit I was a bit irritated. I got up early and was ready to walk by 7 am. Mom had taken off with my brother to get milk so I got a little flustered by this when we have been trying to get up early to walk and today was…

• Fiery, Passionate Love

  Last year I wrote out my feelings about my nieces birthday and motherhood or lack of experience being a mother. Becoming an Aunt was an experience though and I went through all of that in this article from a year ago. Today is slightly different. Have you noticed something about recent crimes lately. The victims…
