• Fleeing For Our Lives…

  Mom and I enjoy walking. Thankfully we have gotten back up to a half an hour routine. Of course we do walk in the local cemetery. I have mentioned before it is where a lot of family and friends stones are standing tall. The reason we walk there is because it’s really just a nice…

• Timing, God’s Timing!

  My uncle lost his drivers license on Friday. After all chaos is a perfect word for the past weekend and what we have endured on some level. Yet he didn’t realize it until today. Last Friday was a busy day because he also forgot his phone a couple of times that day. One time was…

• Tuesday: 2nd Appointment… Another Memory

  This appointment was made and it was said my uncle could get in within a week. That was back in early to mid April. There were no cancellations to be switched in to get him in early at all. It had been way over a month of waiting for this appointment. The night before we…

• Park Avenue Delicious

  Once we were able to get our hotel power back on as well as the city’s power it was time to get back to vacation mode. Whether taking some time to clean up in the bathroom with a nice bath or Dad listening to his phone we waited around in the hotel until 10 am.…

• The Out of The Ordinary Evening

  Like I said Thursday was such a beautiful day. Our walk was effortless it felt wonderful even with my sandals instead of walking shoes.

• Window Shopping at Little Nashville

  This is my first photo of our Little Nashville Experience of 2024. As you can tell I would rather get everyone else in the photo than myself whenever possible. Although I did take a couple selfies later that evening. I really enjoyed this piece of art. Once we got into jive or moving I realized…

• Onward To Shopping and Looking Around

  Once our stomachs were full from lunch or dinner whatever you like to call the noon hour meal. We were again heading to Edinburgh to the mall. It may be called the Premium Outlet Mall, but it was lacking for our tastes. Immediately I noticed the number one spot I wanted to peruse. Bath &…

• The Keffiyeh

  Memories have resurfaced in seeing this scarf on American campuses and really domestically, coast to coast. I still remember as a child during the Clinton Administration watching Yasser Arafat on the news proudly wearing his keffiyeh as the PLO Leader, the Palestine Liberation Organization at Camp David. Watching some of the Jewish interviews on Fox…

  Last Saturday was a Bridal Shower for a friend. To begin this story though I have to back up to two years ago. When I was working at Fresenius about to take my Competency Test to stay on the floor. It was quite frustrating because this one particular week was the week I gave my…
