I recently found out that I was going to be a Great Aunt. My sister will become a grandmother for the first time and my mother will become a great grandmother. Our whole family is excited. It seems like it has been a life time since we had a baby around. I still remember theContinue reading “Ready for a New Adventure!!”

Comforting Hands
When there is sickness or illness, I never know what to do. I can send a card of encouragement, but beyond that I’m stymied. I’m not really sure what to do. I’m afraid of saying something inappropriate or doing something that makes the person uncomfortable. In times like that I really wish I was moreContinue reading “Comforting Hands”
A sister is a forever friend.
My sister and I are eleven months apart. I was born in the last week of December in 1961 and she was born in the first week of December of 1962. So while my mother was waiting on the arrival of her very fist baby during the Christmas of 1961, she never imagined that aContinue reading “A sister is a forever friend.”
New Attitude (I Think)
If you didn’t notice when you landed here, I have found a new home for my blog, WordPress.com. So if you were following me on blogspot.com I would certainly appreciate you following me here.

I’m Thankful for My Sweet Sweet Family
I was brought up in the sweetest, most loving home. I was fortunate to have two parents that loved me and my sister above all else. Our well being and needs always came first. I’m not talking about material things. I’m talking about love, care, concern, and value. After talking with friends and relatives overContinue reading “I’m Thankful for My Sweet Sweet Family”
A Bag Full of Memories
Several weeks ago my mother gave me two suitcases filled with pictures and other items. I was excited to get them and couldn’t wait to go thru them. After bringing them into the house and just opening the lids and peeking in, I was a little overwhelmed. Judging from the pictures in each suitcase IContinue reading “A Bag Full of Memories”
How I met Doug.
I’ve got lots of uncles, or had I should say. I could probably stop and write a blog about each one of them and the happy memories I have because of them. One uncle who is particularly special to me is my Uncle Tommy. He passed away a couple of years ago from cancer. HeContinue reading “How I met Doug.”
