Idaho Visit And Oddments of Thought
Amy and I flew out to Idaho to see the Skrivseth family for ourselves. We found them just as we expected, taking turns gathering around this famous bar. The favorite meeting place is located at the home of Sid and Ruth Skrivseth, my parents. Each day we ate mom's delicious meals here. Each day someone… Continue reading Idaho Visit And Oddments of Thought
When I Am Ninety
We spent Saturday evening and Sunday with Mom/Grandma Graber this past weekend. The roads were good and our student driver did a great job. He didn't appreciate how the traffic picked up after Eau Claire and soon handed the wheel over to his dad. His road test is coming up. Then we'll have completed all… Continue reading When I Am Ninety

We equipped the house with lots of quick window treatments. It seemed as though God was smiling… Continue reading What’s Happening At Home Again
Reflections

Someday, Brad, when you are 35 and everything around you is too big a deal; just come back to this spot and do this again for an hour or two. All the big deals pull… Continue reading Reflections
A List For The Girls
All of our daughters are away from home just now, depending on each other as friends. Two of them are married with little ones of their own. This list is from my heart to our girls. I learned these things from watching my Skrivseth Aunties and from my own mom and her sister's… Continue reading A List For The Girls
Being a Mom
In reading Amy's thoughts about being a mommy to little ones 24/7 and all that goes with it, I got to thinking about my own stage of life. All my babies are gone and I would be one of those that Amy is referring to as "an older woman". So is my life easier than… Continue reading Being a Mom
