• Thursday… Lessons Learned

  Approaching February 6th still remains a solemn day for me. No matter how many years since that year it happened in 2005. Perhaps though for tonight, I will start with last night and the other thing that happened before my few minutes and goodnight words with my boyfriend. There was a Christmas Party in the…

• The Timing of Pain…

  While preparing for the past weekend familiar pains have resurfaced. Back in October I had a shot in my wrist. It took a good while for that shot to finally dissolve. Thankfully. I only wish it had lasted a bit longer. I am grateful I was able to do both Cantata’s and didn’t realize how…

• Shenghaied

  Wow the last twenty-four hours were not as I had expected them to be at all. I was awakened after my alarm was snoozed at least once I think. I was given five minutes to get ready if I was to leave with my parents. Odd cause if I last remembered I could have sworn…

• Personal Thoughts

  The last week has been fairly epic hasn’t it? Not only with the election results a week ago, but personally in my family. Mom’s sugar number was high and that sent her into the ER due to complex insurance problems. Then this weekend we both somehow ended up being somewhat sick. My problem was eating…

• House Sitting

  The difference in the past two weeks is quite interesting. My parents took a trip and I found myself the cook, house cleaner and then… a patient. This vacation had been planned for a while for my parents to enjoy several days away in Missouri. My appointment was set before I heard about this little…

• Reagan the Politician

  Obviously I don’t remember very much about his two terms firsthand. As I mentioned the other day I was born on the day of his second Inauguration. Two big things had changed in the presidency and the policy of h inaugurations were done for me to share that special day with that special president. Firstly…

• Loving Reagan

  There are different themes I found from the movie Reagan yesterday. It took sleeping overnight to marinate on the two-hour long biopic and some research this morning. Two books came to mind this morning when I wanted to look inside Ronald Reagan’s life. Both are written by the same author, C. Brian Kelly, “The Best…

• The End of A Chapter

  Today is the end of a very long closing process. My Dad made his trip to the garden a couple of times to get all of the goodies he could that needed to be picked today. Before they headed off to meet with the buyers and his sisters as well as Grandma to sign paperwork,…

• A Green Bean Surprise

  We had a nice cool walk today for a nice change. Afterwards I ate breakfast, but then Mom and I took a little trip into Linton. When we got back we were surprised to see our neighbor, his dog and a big bucket of freshly taken out of the garden green beans. Even from where…

• 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…
