Evening Thoughts
For a second time I got to church before Sunday School started. It’s amazing. However, I did not want to get up this morning. I have gone to bed only to get into my room and sit on my bed doing more cross-stitch until shy of midnight. I have another deadline and want to get…

Another Finished Project
These are the first stitches to this last towel for this set of gifts. I have never taken as many photos while stitching as I have lately for these pieces for myself to see how far each day to see what I accomplished. Each stitch is a form of serenity for me knowing it will…

Family Time
The last 30 hours have been some good make-up time with our girl. The Lord has given us a blessing we needed as much as I believe she needed. Time is precious and it seems we have lost some of that time recently. Food and family time; making memories!

Giving Thanks For Family
The holidays bring about some difficult truths for some of us. Everyone in this life suffers and everyone suffers loss of a friend and family member. Over the years we see holes in our family gatherings. This year it’s still fresh… September wasn’t that far ago. Although, I am certain my Dad, his sisters and…

The Day After Veterans Day
Veterans Day may be over, but our servicemen and women live with the memories and the pain every day. The cards I received from Uncle Tom all those years ago brought back my own memories. The men I have had the honor to interview their stories are in my head the context in which our…
