When bygone days of winter pass and snow is off the ground, I tend to think of planting things, and wait without a sound, There’s nothing like new life I think, while pushing through dead leaves, The natural mulch has … Continue reading
SPRING HAS SPRUNG
The minute I typed the title for today’s blog, I thought to myself, this is way too optimistic. Spring in the Midwest usually doesn’t begin until somewhere between late April and July. We’ve been known to have blizzards in May. … Continue reading
CRAZY HOLIDAYS
Today is March 9th, which also happens to be False Teeth Day. I really get a kick out of the many holidays available to celebrate. Who thinks these up anyway and why would a day be set aside for fake … Continue reading
SPRING CLEANING
Actually, I generally fall asleep when I read, so that excuse isn’t going to work anymore. Spring time is a great opportunity to sweep away the cobwebs and sorrows – or is that “Tomorrow?” In any event, spring often conjures … Continue reading
I GOT SHOT
I grew up in a day and age when vaccinations were commonplace. Before we entered school we were already immunized against small pox, DPT and later Polio, Measles and Mumps. For a while there, I was a pin cushion. When … Continue reading
AGING WITH A PURPOSE

SCREAMS IN THE NIGHT
Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have used my time in isolation to watch old movies – mostly of a mysterious nature. I’ve kind of run out of the usual like, “The Maltese Falcon,” “Casablanca,” “North by Northwest,” “The … Continue reading
ROAD BLOCKS
We used to have one of these in our garage. I found it at a yard sale a several years ago and used it as a theater prop. Little did I realize I’d have such a hard time disposing of … Continue reading
SATURDAY SILLINESS
A little COVID19 song I wrote for your enjoyment and maybe a chuckle or two. To the tune of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” I’ll be home forever. You can count on that. There will be snow while candles glow … Continue reading
STUBBY RETURNS
Our little friend, Stubby, the squirrel disappeared for a couple weeks in December of 2020, but made a brief appearance again late in the month. Just about the time we had given up on seeing him again, he made a … Continue reading
YOUNG AND RESTLESS SHEPHERDS
I believe the picture says it all. These young shepherds show how antsy little boys get when they have to wait. The story of the shepherds that were in their fields at the time of the Savior’s birth had heard … Continue reading
INTERNATIONAL NINJA DAY
I always thought it would be cool to be a Ninja – to have the agility, the elasticity to glide over roof tops, leap stealthily from house to house with the greatest of ease. I suppose it may have to … Continue reading

COVID-19 YOU GOTTA LAUGH
At the time I posted this picture we were about three months into the pandemic. I was in denial, hoping that this was all a figment of my imagination – that I’d wake up and it would be over. For … Continue reading
THE MIGHTY MOOSE
His powerful muscles are apparent in a body strong enough to carry the weight of his gigantic antlers. His antlers resemble open hands reaching up to heaven. As with all of God’s creatures, those six foot wide horns are set upon his head for a purpose. … Continue reading
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR?
