• A Bad Night and Rocky Morning

I had a couple back and forth messages between my cousin about 4 deaths within the past 3 weeks. Then yesterday after we got to Aunt Helen’s…

• My Thoughts This Very Sad Sunday

  This past week had been a good week. Monday and Tuesday we said our earthly goodbye to my Great-Great Uncle Dick who had already been reunited with loved ones and who finally got to meet Christ. It was sad only because we are left behind, he no longer deals with pain or tears. We even…

• 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…

• Cemeteries… A Peaceful Solitude

  Heading back to the Cemetery this morning almost always feels good. It means exercise time and about half of the time we can say it is actually peaceful. I guess we have to have a reason to pay the mowers right! There are times they beat us and vice versa. Today once again they beat…

• Tires

  Somehow I had a feeling yesterday was going to be quite a day! My plans had already faltered when I found the sewing machine surrounded. Then it was just me and I needed my uncle’s help to get to the machine. He was walking when I called him, but I told him not to rush…
