Second “Wedding Shower” Photo
When I took these photos I missed one of the cards that was still in the envelope Grandma wrote on. This is the invite to the ‘Wedding Shower’ at Grandma’s Church. There’s a lot of gifts on that table. My parents both have better cursive writing than I do. Looking through these pieces of history…

Excitement
The historian in me always wants to celebrate Veterans. One of my interviews will be the Feature for November. Although there are some different articles in mind there are some littler articles that will be posted as well. Tonight I am reminded of some of my friends from Church.

Family September Birthdays
Honestly I call these angels, but I think the book calls them fairies. My fingers made all of the different stitches and even prepared the matting. Dad used his hands to make the frame.

Family Reunion: A Prayer of Thanks For Family Time
Thank you Lord, for our annual Bishop Family Sunday Afternoon gathering yesterday. Sometimes these feel stressful and exhausting. On Saturday I looked through some of my grandma’s photo albums. There were two old articles about both sides of the family the Lesters and the Bishops having Reunions for 44 years one on side and just…

The “S” Word and Israel
This event in my life was traumatic to say the least. This specific evening brought a new perspective as an adult to this as well. My brother sometimes has several children at his place and they always tend to migrate to our house. My dad and brother are really good with kids. Kids seem to…

Waking Up Refreshed
Fortunately, God gave me a good morning. I was able to wake up early and have a good 30 minute walk. Yesterday Mom and I got caught in a rain shower. Since it was a good day we were able to go back to Grandma’s house and look through some more pictures. There are a…
