We are on our annual RV trip. It has been great getting out of the house and into our second house after this quarantine season. It’s hard to believe how long we have been away from each other. Even now, as we travel, we can’t be seen smiling at those…

Ever been told that everything comes in threes? Recently, in a span of two weeks, our dish washer died, our washing machine died, and our car was totaled. As I told my friends about everything, they responded with, “Well, everything comes in threes, so you should be good from here…
This week, as I witnessed the times of the tornadoes in Nashville, I was saddened. Waking up to the tornado sirens was startling. Staying up most of the night to ensure nothing else was going to happen was just as unnerving. Seeing others go through trauma was emotionally exhausting. Driving…
Disagreements. Hardache. Beliefs. Hatred. Confusion. I’m not sure there are many happy stories to tell about Gettysburg, PA back in the Civil War.

Who doesn’t like Christmas lights? No, really, is there anyone out there? I am so mesmerized by Christmas lights. There is just something that draws me to them. I love to read by the tree, love to think by the tree, and love to just sit and get lost in…
I love doing puzzles! I’ve been putting puzzles together for as long as I can remember. I find them very soothing to get lost in a picture, a picture that I see once I begin and then once I end. You see, once I pick out which puzzle we are…
Last night was our family’s traditional trip to Opryland in Nashville, TN. It’s such a calming experience to see so many Christmas lights while we walk with our hot drinks of coffee or hot chocolate. We go every year to see the lights and to watch the water show where they…
