Another Sunday. Another day to enjoy life. I had a lot of life to enjoy around here on Saturday with both sets of grandbabies (nine of them, but sometimes it seems like a dozen or more) here to give the new room a test run. Since I don’t have any new furniture and only an entertainment center and side table …
What to say? What to say?
I am giving a talk this Saturday to a bunch of delightful ladies at a tea. I haven’t actually met but two or three of them, but I’m sure if they’re coming to a tea they’ll be delightful. It sounds like a fun thing to do. At least the tea part. I don’t know about the listening to me part. …

Not Katie’s mom, but the other daughter-in-law. Carrie’s birthday is New …

At church we have a Thanksgiving and Praise List in our bulletin where we mention special blessings of the week and those everyday blessings too. Things …
Colds, red noses and deadlines
Hey everybody. Hope you have all escaped the cold bug, but alas, I did not. Our preacher came down with something the week before Christmas and managed to pass it along to everybody in our church.
