I have never in my lifetime seen the starkly empty metal shelves in grocery stores; now gaping spaces that used to be well stocked with basic supplies. A run on toilet paper…really? We are supposed to have a two-week supply of provisions on hand so who is buying up a year supply of TP and […]
There are those people who when they walk into a room, bring in an invisible magnetic field around them that draws attention to them. My oldest son is that way; an extrovert who loves to be around people. He is a natural storyteller and at family gatherings has often related interactions with people in their […]
My husband and I flew out of state a few days ago to see my son’s police badge pinning ceremony. In all likelihood, he will stay at this department for a career; since we had been unable to attend his badge pinning at his first department two years earlier, we were absolutely going to […]
My 6-year-old granddaughter loves the Frozen movies; both of them. She knows “Let It Go” and will sometimes spontaneously sing the song while I’m driving her to or from school. I think she has an unusually nice voice (or am I biased as the Nana?) and I always listen delightedly to her unselfconscious rendition […]
I have been in God’s waiting room with our business and I don’t know how much longer I will be there. My oldest son is waiting for a job to be able to move to a different state. My youngest son is waiting also for improved health. In all of these circumstances, it’s hard […]

Do you ever lay in bed at night in those minutes before drifting off to sleep and think about your dreams for your life that you would like to accomplish some day? I’m talking about the “I envision myself being this or doing this” type of thoughts, the kind that are so far off […]
I have come to realize that some of my behavior has resembled that of a tortoise; metaphorically of course. Like many things in life, I have only realized that in looking back over the last few months. I was the tortoise traveling down the dusty road of life when last Fall, I hit rough […]
I went to bed last night knowing that I was going to sit in my recliner with a cup of coffee and write a blog. The thought made me smile to myself…like meeting an old friend that I had missed seeing and was looking forward to catching up with.
As much as I love sitting […]
It’s been three months since I last blogged. Giving an update to the theme of the blog last November, we are still steering our business by God’s grace. He has been our beacon and constant source of guidance and comfort through the loss of key employees and the search for replacements.
We have another front desk […]
