Deliveries LoveDelivers…is a new online business of my granddaughter, Annie, and her friend, McKinley. It can be viewed on Etsy.com.

Unforgettable GOLF…is a game that captured me for a number of my adult years. Besides the joy of fellowship, being outdoors experiencing God’s creation, playing in numerous venues across this country and in Scotland, I found the game to really mirror life. Other than the times with grandson Luke, my very special memories are playing […]

Joanne slipped a plain white gold one on my finger December 27, 1958. I love it because I love her. It’s actually the only item of jewelry I wear. Her ring has a diamond. […]

However, after observing and working with children for twenty years (and having a child of my own labeled with ADD) I learned and experienced ways to overcome and conquer it on behalf of my son and other children. First, I examined myself. After doing so I […]
