• The Months Go By

  This book has my name and the year I was born written in it by my mother. So I am guessing it was bought for me that year. When I think of ‘The Lady and the Tramp’ I think of Grandma Rosie and watching the movie with her. I didn’t realize I had this book.…

• Dining Out… Memories

  A couple of weeks ago we introduced my Dad to Cackleberries in Terre Haute. He hadn’t been there since it had been Chicago’s Pizza. That seems like a lifetime ago. It’s a fun name though isn’t it for a restaurant. So we have now hooked Dad to this restaurant solely based on their Cheddar and…

• My Thoughts…

  So yesterday I mentioned I had to relive my last job again in order to help someone else. This is not something that is easy to deal with. Especially when I was told to let go of it by several people. Yet it keeps coming up in different conversations. Even one with my little cousin…

• A Line of Birthdays

  I am not certain that we celebrated all together very many times. Papaw Freddy’s older brother, Horace was born on the 21st, the day after mine. So literally once I arrived the line got even longer. It was me then Horace, his grandsons, and then his daughter in laws. That is four Alsman Birthdays in…

• A Very Special 8th Vintage Birthday Card

  Today marks 18 years since my cousin Neil died. I remember that week well; falling to my knees in shock when my parents told me. Here are my brothers, Caleb and Neil in these photos. Sometimes 3 or 4 peas in a pod. So this is Neil, Jared, my brother and Caleb another cousin. These three…

• A Drivers License

  In December I got a reminder to renew my license. Fortunately it’s not something I forget, but it has been put on the back-burner a few times. The reminder was more for the Real-ID which you have to have several documents with you to get done. My license was good until the end of the…

• A 6th Birthday Card

  This card, fortunately, actually has a year written on it; 1995. Aunt Carol wrote it down when she signed for most of the family. Jeff is ironically not on the card, but he’s in the photo down below. He served in the Navy for a time, I’m not sure what years, but could have been…

• My Wednesday Morning…

  Since I found out today would be the viewing for this man I have to admit I have dreaded it. For some reason, even though I know the ladies that worked at Dialysis have never actually been seen at the viewings of the patients they say they love, don’t show up. I was early today…

• Days Leading Up To Christmas Eve

  It’s funny I know that my best made plans can come unglued due to the very nature of being in the Christmas moment. Some of my happy moments this week came from baking. Although the elocution of delivery was a little difficult. Making these goodie platters has been fun but they have a purpose to…
