I recently turned sixty. Six decades of opportunity and choices. Have I made the right ones? Have I taken advantage of everything that came my way or was made available? Have I accomplished any of my dreams and do I still have time to make real those greatest desires? I’m sure everyone my age begins…
The other day, I was mindlessly going through Facebook and looking at posts from the shortlist of my closest friends and came across one of those ads that asked, “Would you have done anything different with your life if you could do it all over again?”. One of those lead-in ads for education and no…
LOL, just when you think the world can’t get any crazier, someone or something steps up to show you that you haven’t seen everything yet. Our current president is the most notable, of course, but others in the political world are just as bad. I just heard Lindsey Graham this morning with one of the…
I was thinking today as I was holding the newest member of the Wilson family, our new baby granddaughter Marjorie Elma Jeanne. Mom and Dad are still working out that everyday name, but today was Jorie. I love it!! Me personally, I’m not as inspired by naming after someone else, but it is probably just…
We have on numerous occasions had kids or guests join us on vacation. Most of the time we come away with great memories, but sometimes not so great.

It has been several months now that Coronavirus/COVID-19 has been identified and the world seemingly is going mad. This is the most wicked pandemic we have been a part in my lifetime. But this is not the first mass hysteria event that has taken place. We’ve gone through terrorist attacks on 9-11, market crashes in…
Mom… I’m going to miss you. In all the years I have been gone living my life elsewhere, the last six months, being with you and Dad have meant the most to me. I wished we had longer but your body was just giving out. I’m sorry I didn’t understand until the end. No need…
