Keep writing and you will constantly be surprised how many, long-forgotten events will pop up. They will bring with them other treasured memories that will only serve to make you wonder how in the world you missed their real significance the first time around. I know just a little of your Chong MI from greywar. What a blessing to have had her in your life even for too short a time.
i like to read all the crazy comments others make.
You do good! Love your humor and your wisdom.
I am absolutely sure that the good Lord is laughing out loud at this blog message. You have it all right. Bless you and all those parts that were meant to fit right together but have a way of springing out in frustrating ways.
I say a big Amen to the message your mom gave you. We need to get down on our knees and pray that our country will respond truly to its motto: "In God we trust!"
I know the feelings! Yesterday I made a big crockpot of chili and though I have aired our apartment, the aroma lingered on. I woke several times and was tempted to go have a bowl but sleepiness won out. I guess I will have to go to google to find out what is meant by Iron Chef.
Thanks chip and DHanja, I appreciate your comments. Not to worry that you need to say anything different each time. I know both of you a little from the very little greywar has told me about you and from reading your blogs. I don't always leave comments on your blogs either. Sometimes it is because what you have experienced is something out of my field of knowledge or just because I have nothing of worth to add. We are all on this journey through
As awed as I was concerning the spacious surroundings of my new home, there were some pressing anxieties that kept me from fully appreciating its beauty and peacefulness. There were scores of new faces and places that would call for many new adjustments. I was feeling very reticent even though I had two familiar companions that would be going through these i
Glad to see you are among the living yet. Sorry that you have been so stressed out. With all the threats of more terrorists attacks I am sure that you are serving long hours. Find rest.
good job, xtine. I had many such parents that took their responsibility seriously as you do. Mostly in my hayday, both parents didn't have to work to make ends meet. Hope that teacher responds as professionally as she should.
Nice post. Congratulations to both you and your wife.

Amen to all these great comments. I won't forget the meaningful story that photo so aptly tells.
All points bulletin: Where is Greywar? He does not answer his e-mail. His phone is on the blink the last I heard. I am suffering from withdrawal. Help!

Sorry to hear you are hurting. Hopefully all these good suggestions will bring you relief. I remember way back on the farm when my mama could not get to the doctor and I had very bad earaches, she would make two little bags, pour salt in them, put them on the warming shelf of the cookstove. When they were warm she would hold one against my ear while she rocked me. When one bag cooled off, she would ask one of my brothers or sisters to get the other one
Who says you don't care? You care about the right things, at least in my humble opionion.
Great post, xtine. You do have a flair for writing. I won't mention my experiences here.
Confession is a good place to start on the road to recovery! I am so glad that your addiction is not beer, wine or strong drink. I like a drink I fix a few times a day. Recipe: 1 envelope of Equal (I have heard it contains some of the same chemicals as is used in embalming! It will save on my burial bill. ) 2 squirts of Real Lemon Juice and 1 cup of hot water. It does contribute to runn
The Lord is not a hard task master. Your heart is right. That is what He looks at. So maybe you missed some opportunities to do something that would have been good. The good Lord looks for believers...not achievers. Let Him work in you. Then He gets all the credit for good done. Let your light shine with joy. Don't be afraid to let go. Trust in Him. You never have to feel shame no matter what you missed, have done in the past or will do in the future a
I remember a time when my face got red when I heard greywar repeat something I had said. We were in church in the cry room. He was crawling around and hit his foot on something and cried out very loud...Sh...t! I pretended that he was not my child. Now I have to get over that as he has added so many colorful words to his vocabulary that I know I am not responsible for.
SSG Geezer, No, I didn't keep a diary but so far my memory has stayed vivid. I have been working on my family's history for many years. My story is just a small part of that. I better hurry up before my memory really begins to slip. Well, It has sometimes in everyday situations like going into a room and forgetting why I went there.
Congratulations on a very positive post. It was insightful to me. Keep it coming.
Good post. You have "eyes that truly see"! That is my goal in life...to be Jesus for all I meet.
Ah! Your trip down memory lane was a familiar path for me. You did well in describing all those sites along the way. I could picture you and your daughter (my sweet granddaughter) at various stages of maturity. I do remember one time I took K (granddaughter) to see you while you were working at the restaurant in Wadena. K was very young. It was not a good idea. She wanted to stay there all day with you and was very vocal about it...much to your distres
