Tires
Somehow I had a feeling yesterday was going to be quite a day! My plans had already faltered when I found the sewing machine surrounded. Then it was just me and I needed my uncle’s help to get to the machine. He was walking when I called him, but I told him not to rush…

Sewing Time
Getting to this point today has taken quite a while. Really too much time because of my battle with the allergies the last couple of months. I did what I could, but there were nights I shouldn’t have even had a needle in my hand because my head just wasn’t working right. Unfortunately I did…

A Time To Remember
Growing up in my family we got together and celebrated this holiday in true form. We also had three birthdays to add to this celebration most years. My parents birthdays and my Uncle Mike were usually together. Then Papaw Freddy would take us to the cemeteries we needed to see and know about who was…

Tuesday: 2nd Appointment… Another Memory
This appointment was made and it was said my uncle could get in within a week. That was back in early to mid April. There were no cancellations to be switched in to get him in early at all. It had been way over a month of waiting for this appointment. The night before we…

Monday: An Appointment… A Memory
Honestly with a few different layers of stress falling on me every day or every other day I didn’t want to get up that morning. What I didn’t understand was that my younger brother would be working early that morning and I had thought he might accompany Mom while Dad had his appointment. So I…

It’s Not Protesting Anymore
I will never forget years and years ago. Warren Allen was preaching at Fellowship, Grandpa was gone at that point and I remember it was after I had started college myself. Some of these years are a bit hazy considering it’s been at least 20 years, but also because mourning did something to me when…

Window Shopping at Little Nashville
This is my first photo of our Little Nashville Experience of 2024. As you can tell I would rather get everyone else in the photo than myself whenever possible. Although I did take a couple selfies later that evening. I really enjoyed this piece of art. Once we got into jive or moving I realized…

The Keffiyeh
Memories have resurfaced in seeing this scarf on American campuses and really domestically, coast to coast. I still remember as a child during the Clinton Administration watching Yasser Arafat on the news proudly wearing his keffiyeh as the PLO Leader, the Palestine Liberation Organization at Camp David. Watching some of the Jewish interviews on Fox…

Our 3rd Anniversary
Yesterday was a day of poignant thoughts and memories. Grandma Rosie died in March of 2020, but her words follow me even now. She told me I would fall and fall hard for my Mr. Right. She was absolutely on the mark; I was the one who was skeptical. Three years ago on the 13th…
