20 Years Ago…
As I drove into the Wal-Mart parking lot this morning lots of thoughts hit me. There have been numerous times I thought I lived in that store. Now I tend to stay in the car. When I am in the store for longer than 30 minutes I can feel the pressure of the cement floor…

Time & Christmas
Although I am no longer that young naive girl so excited to get presents on Christmas; I love making a Christmas atmosphere. The anticipation is most of the fun of Christmas. I don’t expect much in that way as much as I do the looks on everyone else’s looks from the stocking stuffers I am…

Remembering a Lovely Lady
Dad scrolls through the area obituaries on a regular basis. If he didn’t do this as he does we would miss being with several friends when they go through bereavement periods.
