• Residual Thoughts On… Babies!

  Sunday afternoon Dad and I assume all his sisters got a text. A baby would be visiting my Grandma that day. We didn’t get there at the designated time and it was meant to be a strictly family gathering; but we got to see him. Since my cousin’s wife works where Grandma lives everyone knows…

• Sunday Evening

  Love is a wonderful and vexing thing. Over the past week I have been dealing with the effects of my boyfriends job. I have never been subject to this before, although my Jewell’s of Thought, Facebook page has brought about some weird messages in the last few months. This weekend has been difficult for me.…

• Nostalgic Thoughts

  This evening I went up with Mom to this house. Our dryer is not drying very well. So we are having to use Uncle Tony’s. It has been a while since I have been in the basement. There are such memories all through this house and in the basement. Some of Grandma’s art is still…

• Valentines Day Story #2

  One year not very long after Grandpa Freddy died a new movie came out. According to the date this movie came out nearly 6 years after his death.

• Parent Time

  Today I spent the morning with my Dad. Both of my parents had appointments in different directions. My brother was all too happy to go with Mom and so I went with Daddy. Mom just had therapy, but Dad was having a checkup on his eyes. This morning I was unsure what to expect of…

• February Blues

  I have long felt as if this month is the hardest month to live through. Too many hearts and couples stuff going on for my taste. Not because I don’t love love, but because of how lonely it was for all the singles including me. Even with a boyfriend it’s still hard to not feel…

• Birthdays

  January is no longer the happy month of becoming a year older like it was when I was younger. Somewhere after college it became simply a measuring stick. Now that milestone takes me back to younger days when my aunt or uncle were making my birthday cakes and I had all of my grandparents and…

• A Happily Ever After

  Some of you may remember some articles last Fall about car accidents. I had the first, my sister-in-law the second and then the 3rd was the Preachers daughter at my parents church. When I first heard the wedding would be in January I have to admit my envious heart said that it was my birthday…
