Life Thoughts
Tonight once again is a time of poignant reflection. Personally I have felt off since my accident back on the 2nd of August. Now as I have learned of a third accident this week… my emotions have been on a roller-coaster. On top of those emotions I keep having little bursts of sneezing fits and…

McCormick’s Creek
The tornado did massive damage back on the evening of Friday April 4th. I can still remember that night. Mom and I had to go to the basement. The tornado seemed to head right towards the camping area of the park. It was decimated. The Nature Center now has a video journal of what damage…

Walking Through History In Letters
Dates are always going off in my head. July 23, 1944 is one of those ‘days of infamy’ in my mind. So this year as usual dates of the letters come to mind when the dates circle round. Today Monday, 17, 2023 is on a Monday like it was in 1944 when Grandpa penciled two…

Roller Coaster of Life
I am no longer a spring chicken, nor am I too old to not want specific things in my life. Timing is the key I suppose. God needed me to experience college life and different jobs on top of being the farmers daughter. The one dream of my youth never fulfilled becoming a farmer’s wife.…
