1. A Good Husband. I realize more and more how valuable that is to me and not to be taken for granted. I don’t really need comparisons to know this, but this year I do make some comparisons having a friend in my life who doesn’t have the same testimony these days. Along with my… Continue reading My Thanksgivings
We have a “light bill” at our house. That’s what we call the bill for using the freezer, fridge, toaster, washer, the computers, and, of course, the lights. I missed numerous plug-in stuff, I’m sure. We have never had a very low light bill. For some reason, we have to make a special effort… Continue reading Light Bills and Laundry
I took my camera to church this morning and took this picture of the little women in church.

These before and after pictures don’t say the half of what was needed and what happened. I didn't’ realize how badly the walls needed painting until Elv put the stove in this room. I took the opportunity to try what I have been seeing in pictures…to paint in rich colors instead of… Continue reading Cabin Rooms

But last night while they were finally getting the rescue underway I thought how the Bible says that on that last day there will be folks wishing the rocks would fall on them. Now these 33 men have been… Continue reading The Great Rescue
He had a new, blue, GMC pickup with a camper for traveling. He liked to travel. He especially liked to travel if he had a camper load of grandchildren. ( It was rather terrible riding back there in the camper. I always kept my nose smashed to the front window to avoid feeling claustrophobic.)… Continue reading Remembering My Grandpa
