That Special Symbol of Love
I have always loved Valentine's Day. Even without a boyfriend, I always valued my friends and swapped Valentine's cards with them most years to celebrate that friendship.

I still do enjoy and value my friends and love them. … Continue reading That Special Symbol of Love

This past year has been such a paradox in so many ways. It has seemed to rush by in a blur while at the same time I felt I was in slow motion like a slug. I knew some of the darkest, hurtful, and sad days ever; and some of the brightest, healing, and … Continue reading A New Year

With a dollar, we entered the raffle for a chance to win “1000 Daffodils and Labor to Plant.” All proceeds go … Continue reading Jonquil Jubilee, A Local Festival
Memories, Blessings, and Treasures
In the past couple of years our family has gone through several of our members having illness that required the rest of us helping or at least praying them through. My daughter had colitis twice year before last. Roy’s mom had hip replacement that went bad early last year. It took six months for her … Continue reading Memories, Blessings, and Treasures
