Thank You Veterans~Repost

Friday, November 11th, 2011

I heard this song years ago. The video at the bottom isn’t the original music video, but it’s a good one. Take a minute to listen. I know this song is for veterans and Memorial Day is to remember those who died, but I still say thank you! Thank you to the families of those [...]

Happy New Year

Friday, December 31st, 2010

I thought about all sorts of things to post today. In the past, I’ve done a wrap up of the year’s posts. Or I’ve outlined all my goals for the coming year. I may still do those things but not today! I want to wish each of you a happy New Year. I also want [...]

We’ve been taking it easy which apparently includes blogging! I just don’t have much to say I guess! I’ve been reading and knitting. I ate too much junk last week but I’m back on track this week. I didn’t dare let it go til after the New Year! James and Lee and I went ice [...]

Christmas Eve at the Prison~Repost

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

I went to visit Lee on Christmas Eve. The visiting room was decorated. A tree stood in the corner its lights twinkling brightly. A toy train chugged around the base,happily unaware of its location.

A Vintage Christmas Treat~A Must Read

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

I’ve posted this every Christmas since the year I found it. It’s worth reading again and again. Hearing the goodness of God never gets old! I am in charge of our church library. Since it was very much in need of an update, I’ve been weeding out very old books and replacing them with the [...]
