Summer School: Taking A Ride
Lost in Evansville and just off of the Lloyd Expressway… I was extremely nervous and unsure where I was. God must have been watching over me and from the few words Lilly instructed me with when I believe I got a hold of her and was able to get south of the expressway. University of…

1903
This man was brought into the world at the turn of this new century. So much was happening and on the cusp in this 20th Century. This young boy ended up being in the newspaper quite a bit while growing up into a young man. To make this easier, today is my Great-Grandpa Arla’s Birthday.…

The Mowing Chronicles: Mowers
Life is funny sometimes. Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest right? I have some memories of Sunday afternoons dad, myself and my two younger brothers would be napping while watching a movie. This is when we lived in the trailer where my brother lives now. Mom would be outside and push mowing…

Musically Propelled
Today is a day for remembering. Family is so important we need to remember the holes in our lives. The people who are noticeably gone, but not forever gone from our memories.
