Dory has become a one-woman messaging machine. Every morning, she sends out an inspirational, challenging, and/or thought-provoking quote on Snapchat. (That’s one of the newer messaging platforms. If you don’t know what that is, find someone under 35 and they’ll explain it!) She also sends a picture of her daily Bible verse calendar. Then, every Read more…
We had a great trip to Ohio to visit our girls and DaLee’s mom and other family. The girls played tour guide as they shared with us their favorite parts of the amusement park where they’re working. We explored the sights of Sandusky and Lake Erie and sampled the various eateries they’ve Read more…
There are times when I like to drive the back roads. I get tired of going the same way all the time and just want a change in scenery. Also, in the back of my mind, I am ever in search of a shortcut or better way to go. Sometimes I’ll drive twist-y, Read more…
I am sooooo full – still!! I went with the Senior Adult group to eat fish at Reelfoot Lake. It was a fun trip, and we had a great time. The meal was delicious, too! Here I am on Tuesday evening, and I’m still full from my “just one more bite” of fried apples. (I Read more…
DaLee and I were talking about the Covid-19 – again. We really do talk about other things but like most everybody else, this is on our minds.

There were some issues with the air conditioning and I finally conceded – I had to go under the house. Now if you remember, I’ve had to deal with a funny little thing called claustrophobia in the past. A phobia is an irrational fear and this one deals with enclosed Read more…
I invented a new word. My personality type likes to find (and use) nuances. So, my new word is PROSSIBLY. It’s a mashup of possibly and probably. Possibly still leaves a lot of room to say no. Probably is much closer to yes. So, what do you do if you really Read more…
I explored some new territory by borrowing my Dad’s hedge trimmers. The boxwoods by the driveway were really getting out of hand and something had to be done. A year or two ago, I did major surgery on them with a pair of hand pruners. And it showed! This time Read more…
This has been a crazy time, hasn’t it! We’ve all seen weird times – roller coaster gas prices, the Y2K scare, 88 reasons Jesus is coming back in 1988 – but I think this one takes the cake. The good news is that there may be a glimmer of light Read more…
“I think my teeth are swollen” I told DaLee. Now I know that it’s probably impossible for teeth to swell but let me explain. At some point over Fall break, I apparently cracked a tooth. I finally made it to the dentist a few weeks later for the confirmation and the bad news Read more…
