• My Thoughts This Very Sad Sunday

  This past week had been a good week. Monday and Tuesday we said our earthly goodbye to my Great-Great Uncle Dick who had already been reunited with loved ones and who finally got to meet Christ. It was sad only because we are left behind, he no longer deals with pain or tears. We even…

• Chinese Food and Memories

  Yesterday after the funeral we were hungry. As of Sunday morning our refrigerator decided to halfway die on us. Thank goodness for the extra fridge downstairs. We would not have survived the past few days without it and would have lost a lot of food in the process. In order to cook though it has…

• Cemeteries… A Peaceful Solitude

  Heading back to the Cemetery this morning almost always feels good. It means exercise time and about half of the time we can say it is actually peaceful. I guess we have to have a reason to pay the mowers right! There are times they beat us and vice versa. Today once again they beat…

• Saying Goodbye For Now

  This morning I have to admit I was a bit irritated. I got up early and was ready to walk by 7 am. Mom had taken off with my brother to get milk so I got a little flustered by this when we have been trying to get up early to walk and today was…

• Father’s Day Sunday

  Last night I was kind of thinking about the day’s events and it hit me how blessed I am. I have 3 church families who are so vastly interconnected through interactions of family and movement of friends going to different places. I would never have thought that last week I would be talking to a…

• Remembering

  Last night I had to came to a decision. After posting my one article of the day I thought I would have another one. Still I promised I would get to bed earlier than the previous two nights. I wanted to post my thoughts for these big anniversaries today. For 84 years Rosemary Alsman was…

• 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…

• 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…
