Daughter: Final Presentations
My daughter left her job of 10 years as Director of Extended Studies at West Texas A&M University to pursue her PhD in Interdisciplinary Engineering at Texas A&M University (TAMU). Going from a university department head to a PhD student and graduate assistant, meant a lot less stress and not being tied to my phone. […]
Too Old to Die Young
Hubby was out geocaching in the Black Hills when he found the Bell Park Cemetery south of Rochford. He, like me, loves to walk through cemeteries to see the people who once lived in the area. The graves dated from the late 1800s through the 2000s. He said there were a lot of children buried […]
I’m a Klutz
Most people already knew that, but now everyone will know. Always have been and probably always will be. One of my most often repeated prayers is Lord, please help me not to make a fool of myself. A memory popped up on my Facebook page that triggered this thought. It happened ten years ago, but […]
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, […]
Count Your Blessings
Happy 2023! It’s the new year which generally means we are contemplating how we are going to make 2023 better than last year. For starters, let’s count our blessings. I found this meme about how to do that. Once a week, like on Saturday night, write down one happy thing that occurred that week. Put […]
The Loss of an Influencer
A couple weeks ago, I found out through FaceBook someone I looked up to had passed away. I was surprised, shocked, and stunned. I’d seen Jace the month before and she seemed in good health, so this was totally unexpected. When I last saw her, she told me she was scheduled for heart surgery in […]
