I just found a new song…well its an old one…do you remember the movie…with the song. The movie where Morgan Freeman who goes to principle the school who is full of hoolagins and troublemakers…in the hood of I don’t remember what city (new york?). Lean on Me. Do you remember? Today I did something I had put off and then …
March 15 2024 I blinked. And it was March. I actually hear birds chirping this morning but I also hear garbage trucks picking up the recycling…which is a combo of back up beeps, loud engines, squeaky hydrolics and lots of bangs from putting the containers back down. No one can sleep to that! March is hopeful to me. It’s the …
Whist.
December 20th, 2023 Well there you have it and now you know. I am the most consistant inconsistant person I know. I can laugh at it and I hope you do as well but it does cause some great frustration for me. Not with blogging…like who cares. It’s not like it pays me. But when I can’t conisistantly clean my …
Day 8…kept me up late
Dec 8 I only stay up late when my kids come home. The funny thing is I’m sitting in my living room alone so I have no one to blame but myself. The college kiddo went to pump iron with Hatcher at the gym. She had an indoor meet today at GVSU and so I was running around like crazy …
This Blew My Mind…
Dec 7, 2023 When I was a younger mom of 6 kids, I wanted to be the best home maker (but not home cleaner, lets be clear on this). I wanted to make and serve them whole foods that I made from scratch and skip all the junk from the stores. Somewhere in there I found a group called Momma …
On the 5th day I didn’t get Rings
December 5th Rings. I wear two. I wear my own and I wear Marks on my right middle finger. I love them. Someone gave Mark a liturgy book when he was sick. I never looked at it but thought it was pretty and then Cora was sending me a gift when she was in Kosovo because a friend there had …
Its almost Summer.
May 31, 2023 Its been awhile since we had coffee together. Sorry, I’ven been busy or just didn’t feel like making the time but then I forget how nice it is to just sit and talk. Hatcher drove off to school this morning..early..for FCA (fellowship of Christian athletes) because its their last message and instead of him speaking, he is …
April 30 2023
I just really miss his voice. I go to track meets and stand alone. We would split split duty..at big meets, “take bets” on times and who would win. Mark could often tell just by how they look. It’s a lonely season…in more ways than one.
He is Risen
April 9th 2023 I almost had to change that date…thinking it was already May. Its not. No worries. My house has extra people…very bubbly, joyous, other people. One has left for the windy city but a few remain. It always fun to have so many at home…but also exhausting. I managed 2 really sluggish days and then had a great …
He Sneezed Twice
February 19th 2023 Every time Mark got into bed, he sneezed. Twice. You see, I don’t like the abrupt sounds of sneezes. Even though I sneeze myself…I mean we can’t help it and I know that but I still don’t like it. So every night he gets into bed and sneezes…and I have to cringe a bit and then relax. …
