Having a writing career has been a serious dream of mine since high school. I toyed with the idea at a younger age, but I began to be more serious about it later. My friends and I had the same study hall hour and shared a table in the back corner of the school library. … Continue reading New Beginning and New Life

The Joey I Know
My brother, Joey, moved to Heaven recently. Our family will be adjusting to life without him here in the physical for a long time. He had a lot of health issues, but this came suddenly to us. As it is a lot of times we weren't ready for it. Thankfully we know that he is … Continue reading The Joey I Know
The First Thanksgiving
That first year without a loved one is tough. Everyday is different with them not in your daily life, or at least where you could call them or go visit with them; share a laugh, a hug, all those things about when they were still here. Any birthday, anniversary, or holiday makes it even harder … Continue reading The First Thanksgiving
Memories, Blessings, and Treasures

One Of Those Things I Cherish
I got some more of that news that just “tickles me pink,” as the saying goes. On one of those calls just to visit on the phone with my parents, I asked if there were any pears.

Now on to my post. I feel rich lately. Not with money or possessions, but with family … Continue reading Fall is Time for Jelly Making!
Precious Words
Daddy said some precious word to me the other day. He said, “The Scuppernongs are ready.” He has a couple of vines on one of those trellises made of iron pipe and fencing. We can walk under it when we are picking the Scuppernongs and pick the ones we can reach through the large squares … Continue reading Precious Words
Standing Rock, Where I Left Part of My Heart
There is a place and a People tucked in a special place in my heart. They are there as strongly as when I was there with them. It’s called Cannonball on Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, and the Sioux American Indians there. I first met these people when we went on a mission trip … Continue reading Standing Rock, Where I Left Part of My Heart
