Today is the day I go to spend the weekend with DS2 and his family. I had a hard time getting to sleep last night. It was well past midnight when I was able to drift off. I’d been in bed, relaxing, since a little past 10:30. Now, for an accounting of my week. Sunday [...]

We were back home for the first time in weeks. I’d almost lost track of how long we’d been gone. Friends had been looking in on our pets and kept them fed and watered. We had an assortment of cats and an Alaskan Malamute/Doberman/Dane mix dog. He was half Malamute, a quarter Doberman and a [...]

I was shaking in my boots not knowing what I’d find when I walked into the hospital room. Being prepared wasn’t really being prepared. DH had been through a lot and I couldn’t expect him to be in the best condition mentally. I knew his physical condition was painful but he’d live through the experience. [...]

The trips not sanctioned by the pilot pool were more interesting than the ones that were. DH said the pilot pool flights were mostly from airport to airport and little else. The private charters went to lots of places and, more often than not, he got to do some sightseeing and maybe some shopping. One [...]

You just might get it. I’ll tell about that experience later. Meanwhile, I’ll go back to last Sabbath—and this time I’ve taken notes. The speaker was the head elder and he did an outstanding job explaining the different components of the Sanctuary. Several of the members want audio copies of the sermon. I wouldn’t mind [...]

There we were, stuck in the snow in the dark. When it’s dark in Nebraska and snowing, it’s DARK except for an eery glow. When there are no farms nearby with their security lights it’s dark and lonely. I had been living in that area long enough that it was familiar to me but it [...]

It had been over two weeks since I’d put in my order for two patio boxes from Square Foot Garden’s web site. I’d had a notice from DHL that the boxes had been brought in for shipping and it showed the same date for the prospective delivery. I knew that couldn’t be possible. DHL will [...]

Strange, I never called her “Mommy”. She was always Mother. Never Mama, Ma, or Mom. Her mother wanted my sisters and me to call her “Mama” because she thought Grandmother or Grandma sounded too old so Mother was always Mother. Once, someone came to the door (this was before my time) and asked one of [...]

This is going to set a record for fast typing for me. I need to get to bed soon. It’s going on 9 o’clock and I’ve been up since before daylight this morning. As usual. I’ve been waking before the alarm goes off and I hear that’s a sign that I’m no longer sleep deprived. [...]

Some weeks earlier, DH and the boys were on their way home and a blizzard struck. DD and I were waiting at the house and the hour grew later and later. I was getting nervous and called the landlord along about 11 pm. He chided me for not calling sooner and set out on his [...]
