Mowing Chronicles: In Laws
While, Mom and I, were mowing over our illustrious decade a lot of different phases set in. There was a time when we just came and mowed, then Grandma began to feed us as much as she could. Grandma was always the loving and adoring host. She still wants to make us as comfortable as…

My Thoughts…
Since last Thursday I feel like a scatter brain. I was able to plan and organize my series and have them straddle each other. All of a sudden I have this one big problem and then vegetables to be canned. Today we canned another dozen jars of pickles. Unfortunately, we lost one jar to a…

Time for Pickle Canning
Sorry folks, our cucumbers have literally been boiling over our island in the kitchen. The day my eye problem happened was the day Mom and I were to set out to make our pickles. It didn’t happen. So today has become the day to finally tackle this duty. Maybe just the first day of a…

Marty

A younger Generation…
The other night I finally got a chance to spend some time on the typewriter. It was special for me to get to experience something that used to be so common. Watching enough World War II movies with the secretaries of the War Department on their typewriters typing paperwork and letters for American families with…

Analyzing
The past week has been very intriguing. The Lord is working… I can see this in the statistics day to day. Sometimes I tend to want to over-analyze from daybreak to turning the lights off at night. I can’t seem to get enough of the numbers and sorting through what they mean. Forcefully, I do…
