Me and Olive
My daughter is the one who started naming her cars and encouraged us to name ours. My first named car was a pearly white Infiniti. We named her Pearl. It was a perfect fit. After Pearl there was our Red Chrysler 300 named Ruby. She was my favorite car. What a beauty! I guess it’s…

What makes a good neighbor? I heard somewhere that tall fences make good neighbors. 😉

So Much Love
Last night, I was making a delivery in a neighborhood I did not recognize. It seemed like several neighborhoods together covering one large area. My directions seemed to be unclear as I was driving. I pulled over to the right next to some houses and a one story small building so I could get a…

Fantasy Football
The only good thing is that my team is on a bye this week. This is my lowest score so far. Look at the points I left on my bench this week! Kirk Cousins exploded, earning him 70 points… and there those points sit… on my bench. Before I picked up Carr, I had Aaron…

Unexpected Drive
Today, I accepted my second Amazon Flex block ever. It was a 4-hour block that paid $95. When my husband and I pulled into the lane as directed in the outdoor Amazon loading dock, I was happy to see only two bins of packages for me to deliver today. I proceeded to scan and load…

Possessions
What would you do if you lost all your possessions? Popcorn is a favorite snack of mine. The smell of popcorn makes me want to watch 48-Hours, the True Crime Show. And, eating pistachios makes me think of The People’s Court. My husband and I went through a phase of popping popcorn and watching 48-Hours…

Come Listen to a Prophet’s Voice Saturday and Sunday
This weekend is my favorite autumn weekend. My favorite weekend comes around only twice each year, once in the spring and once in the fall. We have the opportunity to listen to the voice of our prophet and apostles. Every time I listen to and/or watch the semi-annual conference of the Church of Jesus Christ…

VP Debate
What skill would you like to learn? How to handle an unfair situation like what is taking place on CBS tonight. 😉 These moderators are anything but unbiased. What a joke! What ever happened to unbiased journalism? One of those men pretends to care for the American people. The other one really does. Common sense…

This article is very interesting: https://share.newsbreak.com/91bxvlof Long Covid effects, such as the ones above, can be evidenced in an MRI. The article is worth reading, if true.

Virtual Fulfillment?
In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? I despise (maybe too strong of a word… “dislike” is better) laziness. It is sad to see the potential of loved ones slip away in place of laziness. There is a difference between disorganization and pure laziness. A person’s house can be rather sloppy and…
My chats, your inbox 🍲
Imagine…
the sound of chatter at a cafe
the quiet clicking of a keyboard
bird-chatter in the trees
Get comfortable… this is where I share stories, memories, and the everyday chatter of life.

About the Author
My husband and I raised three daughters together, and when I look back, it’s hard not to feel a deep sense of nostalgia, not just for their growing-up years, but for my own childhood, courtship, and the early days of our marriage. Those memories hold a little bit of everything, laughter, heartache, and a whole lot of love woven through it all.
I’ve found such joy in journaling, writing, and blogging about the things that matter most to me like God, family, life experiences, thoughts and opinions, memories, feelings, traditions, hobbies, and family history. There’s something important about putting these moments into words, about capturing them in a way that can be revisited and shared.
Through my stories, traditions, and reflections, I hope to connect with others who value these same simple, meaningful parts of life, and who might be willing to share a bit of their own stories, too.
Many of you already have, and that means more than you know.
