EVENTS AT THE MEDICAL LAB

I gave more than blood! It was an early morning that day, and even the sun hadn’t come up yet. This day’s routine required leaving the house earlier than usual because I had an appointment with the people who draw blood at our local medical laboratory. That ordinary procedure developed a life of its ownContinue reading “EVENTS AT THE MEDICAL LAB”

A SKATING ELEPHANT

Not long ago, my husband and I were reminiscing about funny things that occurred when we were younger. So, sit back and relax as I invite you into my parents’ kitchen in Columbus, Ohio.

Because these miles keep accruingContinue reading “AN EVENING OBSERVATION AT THE AIRPORT”

A few years ago, my husband and I found that our eyes were changing. We’d gone through the “accordionContinue reading “ENCOURAGEMENT IN BOTH DIRECTIONS”

AN EARLY MORNING BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

Good morning! I think that’s an appropriate start to this sweet story. Were you aware that God gives us “clues” on how and who to choose as friends. Proverbs 12:26 “The righteous should choose his friends carefully.” There are two beautiful people God designed for my friendship many years ago. They are Carolyn and Ann.
