100 Word Wednesday Challenge
I Am So Out of Touch!
I received the invitation for my youngest grandson's birthday party for this Sunday. I believe Jadon will be ten years old, but with 15 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, I simply cannot remember when some of them were born. I sent his mother a text to see what he likes, so that I can buy him... Continue Reading →
Knowing Who To Trust: Psalm Wednesday
Troubles are as sure to come as morning follows night.

I thought of how there are some debts that cannot be repaid. These are kindnesses that made a difference at a... Continue Reading →
A Sister’s Love Never Leaves Us
Written for the September Writing Prompts by Putting My Feet in the Dirt: the absence of her. As I am writing my memoir, I cannot help but remember my sister. Her name was Joann, and she was the strongest person that I have ever known at a compact 5 feet, 2 inches tall. She was... Continue Reading →
Pain in Places I Didn’t Know I Had
Under no duress from anyone, I decided to pursue exercising again, to improve flexibility and balance. I also wanted to put some structure in my life, now that I am retired, and every day looks the same. So, even though my back has been sensitive recently, I decided to go to the local gym and...
