When was America’s Age of Prosperity?
I read an article (I’m always reading something) about a new Congresswoman who said she’d missed America’s age of prosperity. She didn’t really say what time frame she was referring to, but when I googled the term, it says it occurred in the 1920s. That means all except the very elderly missed it. Her statement […]
Love to Mothers
It’s Mother’s Day! No, Hubby dear, it’s not a day Hallmark invented to sell more cards, and it’s not a day flower shops promote to sell more flowers (haha, family joke). It’s a reminder of how much we owe to our loving mothers. Some mothers are not loving, kind, or nurturing; they’re excluded from this […]
Seeing the End of DIY
Years ago, Hubby and I urged his dad to quit doing all the projects around their house. He was in his late 70s and was still going on the roof fixing shingles or crawling through the attic to check the wiring. Even though he was an electrician, his physical abilities were waning, and he had […]
Read the Constitution
Hubby read an article recently that said over half of Americans want to dump our Constitution and make a new one. Considering the same article said a high percentage of those Americans think Judge Judy is on the Supreme Court, I wondered how many Americans have read the Constitution. I hear on the news and […]
Telephone Protocol
In the olden days, hanging up on someone during a phone call was considered very rude. Hanging up was used to show how mad you were or how much you didn’t want to talk to the person on the other end of the line. I remember watching my grandpa yell into the phone and slamming […]
Be Still
Many years ago, I read that people who play music all the time are afraid to be alone with themselves. What do you think? Are you afraid to turn off the music, TV, computer, phone, and any other device that keeps you entertained? “Be still and know that I am God.” The Psalmist David wrote […]
How’s Your Hearing?
This past week, President Trump claimed the noise from wind turbines causes cancer. I’ve never spent time close to a turbine (I didn’t know they made noise other than whoosh) so I can’t speak to that directly, but if sound causes cancer, it’s a wonder more people don’t have it. We live in a very […]
Children in School
My grandson is in kindergarten this school year. His parents tried to get him enrolled in first grade, but were denied. The boy can read and write and do math so kindergarten is, as he puts it, “too easy.” He says he wants a challenge. Isn’t it nice to hear that a child wants to […]
