Anyway, there was a CD by a new artist named Scott Krippayne. I loved the CD and bought the demoContinue reading “"Sometimes He Calms the Storm"”

Perspective

Shoulders and weather

It has been awhile since I posted. Not a lot going on. The New Year was a good one. I only had to work until 11:30pm and got in my front door at 11:59pm and 46 seconds. I got to see the ball drop for 14 seconds. No one did anything this year. Clayton wasContinue reading “Shoulders and weather”

It\’s been awhile

Just wanted to touch base. I pray that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving? I had a nice one. Quiet the first part since it was just Mom and me and then very fun and noisy the second part since it was with my adopted family that have 14 grandkids and 12 additional adults plus me.Continue reading “It\’s been awhile”

A long way from last year

Well, it is Thanksgiving week again. I decided to look back at last years posts to try to remind me of where I was a year ago.
