What Sunshine is to Flowers, Smiles are to Humanity. ~Joseph Addison Today was Mother’s Day. A beautiful time to remember Moms everywhere. It was a sad day for some who were missing a mom gone on before them. I still have my mother, but she’s not the mother I’ve known all my life. Dementia has stolen her memories and joy …
“A life-long blessing for children is to fill them with warm memories of times together. Happy memories become treasures in the heart to pull out on the tough days of adulthood.” (Charlotte Davis Kasl) My book, Scent of Lilacs, was released for the second time March 1 and I’m celebrating. Scent of Lilacs was my first novel published in the …
“Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.” Goshen had a great 200th birthday celebration today. Our church was overflowing, something that hasn’t happened our way for a long time. A lot of people who grew up in the church came back to celebrate and remember …
Have you ever been to a kindergarten graduation? Or maybe a preschool graduation?

Every day! Even if maybe you …
Any of the rest of you on dinosaur dial-up internet? I live out in the boonies and so unless I want to go satellite, this is my only choice. But the dinosaur is moving slow tonight. He must be in deep water or maybe those tar pits they talk about on the movies. It’s taken me fifteen minutes to even …
Hey everybody! Can you believe it is already the last week of September? You blink twice and summer’s gone. I’m afraid to blink again. It might be Christmas and I wouldn’t have those grandbabies a present under the tree. I sometimes have this little mantra going under my breath. “Get organized.

How about some happiness quotes to lift the mid-week blahs? I don’t really have mid-week blahs, but I’ve heard some people say they do. One thing sure I won’t next week since my twin grandbaby boys should have discovered a bright new world by then. If I can get on line I’ll let you know their names. If Mom and …
Hey, guys. How about a story to make you smile this week? I got my bulletins (the blank ones I have to print for the church), and this cute story was in the bulletin aids they send along with it. It’s too long for me to put in my church bulletin, but it did make me smile. I’m going to …
