  • A few, but I try not to make a habit out of them

    Have you ever had surgery? What for? When I was 21 and a young military wife, I got pregnant with my son and it was a pregnancy that was spent in bed, that caused a few abnormal, post-delivery, pap smears. And for my prize, cryosurgery. They froze body parts to scrape stuff off that shouldn’t…

  • My Habits?

    What are your daily habits? Checking email, social media, and texts first thing in the morning. Reading my Bible. Checking the news, to see if we were abducted by aliens or not, or if we have all blown each other up. Talking to my dog like she will answer back. Saying “I love you” to…

  • Furniture Edition

    What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? I am the oldest kid, oldest daughter, oldest grand child and great grand child. I took my role as oldest seriously. I’ve been bossing my sister and a bunch of cousins for about 56 years. (There were three years all to myself, feet rarely…

  • It’s My Favorite

    What is your favorite season of year? Why? I have always loved 🍁Autumn🍁. Growing up in Missouri, the colors were always so vibrant. And then of course, Halloween was in the fall and trick or treating was a mission and you had a plan and mapped out the town. It was tricky to avoid the…

    Describe your dream chocolate bar. Well, it would need to be on that is always in the freezer or the pantry. When I have a chocolate bar, have eaten it, and then open the freezer or pantry and the space would magically make another chocolate bar appear. And…it would be one I’m in the mood…

  • Books!

    Do you remember your favorite book from childhood? I have read so many books in my life, I had to think all morning of a book I may have read back in elementary school. Then it hit me, “Where The Red Fern Grows”. I grew up in rural towns in Missouri in the 1970s. To…

  • Fear of Fear

    What fears have you overcome and how? Recently I wrote about one of my little adventures and how I had to drive thru tunnels. I hate tunnels! But it’s not like you can drive around the Rocky Mountains on a day trip. You have to go thru the tunnel. Claustrophobia is something I have struggled…

  • Get A Job

    What jobs have you had? Of all of the jobs I have had, by far the best one was Mommy. Just when I thought I was semi-retired from being Momma/Mommy/Mom, a new job presented itself and I gladly took on the role as Grandmother. Although my daughter was reading a book and the grandmother was…

  • It’s …

    Who would you like to talk to soon? My parents. Mom passed in 2006, Dad in 2016. I was once told that I would need my parents until the day “I” died. I didn’t understand that until I no longer had them with me. They were right. I need my parents every day. So many…

  • Legacy

    What is the legacy you want to leave behind? When my mother passed away we were in shock. We knew it was coming, but she had only been in hospice for about a day and a half. I thought I was prepared, and I was to a point. But, I was not prepared for the…
