Some people call it retirement, but that’s not how I look at this change in my life.  I have quit working at Nelson Farm Supply after 17 years; my last day was December 7.  I quit just in time to travel to Muscatine on December 9 to see Emmy in her Christmas program then get […]

It’s been a long time since I published a post, and I think the time has come for me to pick this back up.  I hope that these posts will be helpful and encourage you to seek the Lord more fully, and I hope that your input here will help me as well.  We, all […]

Christmas is one week away. We are getting closer to being ready. Tabbi took over pretzel detail, and today I wrapped most of the gifts…waiting for one more mail delivery to finish up. I’ve gotten the peanut blossoms and cinnamon rolls done, so most of everything else will have to wait. It’s been a little […]
