SPECIAL TIME WITH SOMEONE SPECIAL
There is something amazing about being a grandparent. It doesn’t only have to do with pride and a feeling of accomplishment, but is almost like having a second chance at motherhood. My grand daughter and I had a special time this weekend. … Continue reading
DOES HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF?
Think of what it was like in the 16th century, before the printing press was invented. Folks had to rely on word of mouth for their information and by the time they got it, it was so muddled, it was … Continue reading
LOOK AHEAD!
I’ve come to the end busy week in my world. It started with my final week of coaching almost 90 kids in the fine art of public speaking. It has been fun watching them develop their skills and to hear … Continue reading
Time for a Kathy rant
It sounds like fodder for a novel. Espionage, corruption, criminal border crossings, a market for sex slavery, information breaches, drug cartels, the rapid spread of a communicable disease, unemployment, failed government intervention and bailouts of large corporations, a flawed health … Continue reading
SECRETS

Lord, Keep Us Steadfast in your Word

MY GUARDIAN ANGEL
I can’t help wondering how my guardian angel is doing. I’ve lived for over seventy years and given that angel a run for his money. I’m convinced he earns his wings over and over every day. I imagine him to look pretty … Continue reading
COLUMBUS DAY
I remember the days leading up to Columbus Day when I was a child in elementary school. We’d draw pictures of the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. We were told stories of how people viewed the world as … Continue reading
HAVE WE SHORTCHANGED OUR YOUNG WOMEN?
When the Feminist Movement got underway in the 60’s, women applauded the rights they demanded. They burned their bras in protest. They shed all evidence of the things they felt were binding them or holding them back. Their cry for equality … Continue reading
FAIRY TALES OR TRUTH?
I grew up on fairy tales. These stories filled my brain with hopes of finding the perfect mate, the wonderful life, the answers to all my dreams and hopes. Unfortunately, those stories were also filled with fearful characters that got … Continue reading

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHARLIE BROWN
It’s Charlie Brown’s 64th birthday today. In 1950 he made his first appearance as a cartoon character. Just think – in another year he can collect Social Security and start living the dream of all the rest of us Baby Boomers. … Continue reading
BUMPS IN THE ROAD
I live in Minnesota where there are two seasons – winter and road construction. Actually, my home state has much more to offer than just those two seasons, but these two events are something we’ve learned to tolerate over time. When the … Continue reading
