When I was working I would go to work and step right into whatever needed doing. I knew my job, I knew the process and I routinely accomplished each task. When I was a mother with young children I got up each morning and set about my day, following a routine. Of course, not every… Continue reading A ROUTINE LIFE
Mid August and life continues in a flow that ebbs at times into a calm, shallow pool and then swells into a tiring period of activity. Ups and downs, in and out, back and forth; slowly then building into a high point and back down again. I have spent most of the past five weeks… Continue reading LIFE CONTINUES
America is full of small towns; from coast to coast small towns dot the landscape spreading across the land, small rural, urban areas that blossom with the health and wealth of our nation. I love small town America. I love the sense of community you find there. Today we went to our small town's car… Continue reading SMALL TOWN AMERICA
INTO INFINITY AND BEYOND, GENERATION TO GENERATION This week my siblings and I welcomed our newest addition to our family. Baby brother just became a grandfather (he's 63)! This is first male child to be born with our family name in more than 30 years. And his parents, my nephew and his wife, have given… Continue reading NEW GENERATIONS
I have been going through boxes and boxes of old photos; searching out all those special moments from our family's history. I am building photo albums for my children, and I want those albums to include family history and a pictorial record of our genealogy. It's very time consuming, but I have found photos I… Continue reading PHOTO HISTORY
August is nearly half over and 2019 is more than half over. Time seems to be speeding up. It's been more than four weeks since our return from our cruise. School is open, summer vacation is over. Things are changing. I can feel the changes but I can't define them yet. Political, moral and spiritual… Continue reading TIME IS PASSING QUICKLY
I think patience is one of the hardest things for we humans. Especially in these days of instant everything. Waiting is hard. In our new world if we have to wait for anything for very long we whip out our trusty cell phones and sit glued to its tiny screen, mesmerized by whatever we are… Continue reading PATIENCE AND THE FULFILLMENT OF PROMISES
I always hated listening to campaign speeches. Election years are so tiresome; all that political boondoggle. In the past politicians were full of promises that they never followed through on; lots of hype and no delivery. Today politicians have dumped all the promises in favor of lies. Particularly lies about Donald Trump. Politicians and major… Continue reading PROMISES….AND LIES
It's Wednesday. I am slowly returning to normal...whatever that may be, and getting back into a regular routine. I wonder how I would do if we took a three month trip around the world, which is something my sister dreams of doing. I wonder...would it take me an additional three months to recover from such… Continue reading WEDNESDAY…MIDDLE OF THE WEEK
Life is full of choices. We make them every day. Some are as innocuous as what to wear...or what to have for breakfast, what street to take to work, but for the most part, most decisions we make every day are made without much real thought and quite often depend more on habit than any… Continue reading DECISION BY CHOICE….OR DEFAULT
