Difficult Times
For me, this past week was difficult. Difficult is a relative term, meaning something different to everyone. For me, a lot of things went awry, and my mom was in the hospital. Being so far away, I rely on my siblings to keep me in the loop on her and my dad’s conditions. I feel […]
Stepping Out
Recently, Hubby and I did something we rarely do. We went out at night. We don’t do that much since neither of us feels comfortable about driving around at night. Too many critters waiting to jump in front of our truck and crazy drivers going too fast makes us prefer quiet nights at home. We […]
Visiting Battlefields
Our annual Sibling Trip went well this year although it started off very rough. Arriving in Baltimore the first day, we had reservations for a minivan, reservations for lodging, and hungry stomachs. What we didn’t know was all the rental vehicles there were gone due to Hurricane Helene. We were afoot. We could always get […]
Heading to the Past
This week, I take off on another trip. This one is with my three siblings as we tour Civil War sites in the Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia. We were in that area two years ago, but this year, we’ll spend most of our time around Richmond. We have our fingers crossed Congress will pass […]

A Two-Week Book Tour
I’ve always told people I’m a homebody, but if you’ve kept up with my blogs this summer, you know I’m turning myself into a liar. Every month since April, I’ve been away from home on a trip or two. While it’s nice to travel, I sure miss home while I’m gone. On this last trip, […]
Two Weeks with the Boys
My son and grandsons visited us for two weeks while our daughter-in-law visited her parents in China. The time went by fast mostly because we stayed busy almost the whole time. Hubby and I don’t get to see our grandsons often, so we try to make the most of it when we do. Grandson A […]
What Happened to April?
April was such a blur for me. It was jam packed with events and trips and people and packing and returning home. It left me tired and wondering how the time passed so quickly. May will not be any different. I start the month with a trip to Maui with my sister. Since she loves […]
