I’m having some sort of problem with my website listed in my Great Places to Visit section. I’m in touch with my server and hope to have it resolved soon. Sorry for any inconvenience. It’s time for the weekend again—yahoo!!! Iowa plays Iowa State tomorrow, and even though we ourselves are not great football fans, […]
9/11
We were flipping through channels on TV tonight and the History channel is showing 9/11 video from all kinds of sources. It’s very personal and chaotic and hard to watch, yet hard to look away. It’s something you want to forget but must never forget. My heart goes out to all those whose lives were […]
Iron on Iron
It’s really true that we need each other. We may walk in the light for a while on our own, but our vision gets clouded; we stumble; we run into roadblocks; we get confused. We each have at least one someone in our life who is a good listener. Hopefully, that person does more than […]
Perspective
My hooray for the day is our oldest granddaughter turns 8 years old today!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRIA!!!When I’m at home and in my element my perspective on things is positive. But I find that when I’m put under pressure I can quickly lose sight of all that seemed so clear at a better time. Is […]
Being Thankful
Do you ever struggle to remember all that you have to be thankful for? I’m so thankful for my husband, children, and grandchildren that you would think that I’d never be “unthankful”. But it sneaks up on me, and before I know it I’m complaining (at least inwardly) about something. I really want to get […]
New Member
Hi everyone. I’m going to try to include a picture of out daughter’s new puppy. What a cutie. Their other dog loves the puppy, and their two duaghters are thrilled. Doesn’t quite give me the bug for a new puppy, though. We got to go shooting again today and our youngest daughter went with. She […]
TGIF
It is good to be done with the workweek, and we have the extra treat of having our youngest daughter and her husband here for the weekend. It’s still cooler than normal here, and today we had some rain–some great clouds, too. Tonight we are watching “Charlie’s Chocolate Factory”–a little creepy but you’ve got to […]
Fall is Coming
I got to go for a walk this evening. Fall is my favorite time of year and though it’s a little early for fall here, I’m beginning to see the signs. Just a few leaves here and there are beginning to turn; there is a crispness in the air these last few days. It will […]
Are We Tired Yet?
Well, the week just gets crazier and crazier. This first week of each month is always very busy for me at work. Today that meant a ten hour day with laundry, groceries, and phone calls to follow. I don’t know about you, but I’m tired. So when the extra stress comes and the questions that […]
Back to the Grind
So how did we all do going back to the workweek? My day was busy and a little stressful. Had a couple of treats after work, though. Got a haircut (finally) and my daughter and two grandsons were here for almost two hours after that. She brought me a package of wonderful pictures we had […]
