Forgetfulness

Hubby and I were discussing how forgetful we seem to be getting. Since we’ve been home, we’ve been hunting for things. Where did we store this or that before we left? Seems silly but it took us a while to get into a routine and remember where things were stored. Is that a result of […]

My Ring

For years, I wore a beautiful two-tone gold wedding ring set that had diamonds from Hubby, my grandmother, and my first wedding ring set (long story on what happened with my first set). As I aged and got arthritis in my hands, my knuckles got bigger, and I couldn’t get my beautiful ring off. Having […]

My Alone Time

I did it. Just like I said I would in last week‘s blog. I started my journal of good things that happened to me this week. I hope you got yours started as well. One of the things I’m thankful for is Me Time, also known as Alone Time. Me Time is quiet and peaceful, […]

Making Time for Friendships

This past week had a few more interesting things in it than the usual routine. While I love dull weeks, meaning nothing major or stressful occurred, most of the time, it’s nice to have a little variety on occasion. You see, I’m an introvert that likes to be stay inside my house. When I get […]

Remembering Those We Knew

I attended the Black Hills Historical Conference this past week and learned many new things. The one talk that impacted me the most was from a elderly Lakota woman who I had as a professor in college. She had a big impact on me at that time and even through today. Seeing her again made […]
