The Power of Family
Last week, I picked blueberries. It was the same field I picked blueberries from last year with some of my grandchildren. As I walked through the field, a flood of memories filled my heart. I saw my little grandson who had to be carried and held some of the time as he picked. I remembered [...]
The Power of One Person
There are many people who touch our lives. Some make lasting impressions upon us, whether good or bad. Some we only see for a moment, but we will never be the same because of the kindness and generosity of this person. I have been thinking about this recently and wondering how my life may have [...]
The Power of Love
“Do you know that I love you?” is a question I frequently ask my children and grandchildren. Not only is it important for me to tell my family that I love them, but it is also important that I know that they understand and feel my love. Thomas Leonard said, “Love is a way to [...]
“Love is Spelled T-I-M-E!”
One of the things I love about being a mother is to have my children or grandchildren call me just to say, “I was reading this story (or scripture or poem…) and I thought of you.” This morning, a daughter called to share a story. She gave me the name of the story and the [...]
The One and Only Original Family Band…
Recently, one of my sisters and her family were visiting our home. We had shared a lovely meal and at my husband’s urging retired to the music room to sing. We have many musical instruments purchased over the years and I am not sure how we decided to pass the instruments around to the children [...]

As I watched the two characters, played by Bette Midler & Barbara Hershey, I wondered [...]
Love is Here to Stay
One of the most amazing things about being a grandmother is to hear stories about your grandchildren. I received one of those calls recently. My 3-year-old grandson had a long Saturday, lots of things happening with his parents and he was busy in activities all his own. When they drove back into their driveway at [...]
Thanksgiving Traditions
“A turkey sat on a backyard fence And he sang this sad, sad tune. Thanksgiving Day is coming, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble And I know I’ll be eaten soon. Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble. I would like to run away. Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble. I don’t like Thanksgiving Day!” Our [...]
Babies
I have always wanted to be a mother. Let me say that again. I have ALWAYS wanted to be a mother and now a grandmother. There is nothing that brings more joy into my life than to be with my family! Last weekend, I was able to take care of my youngest grandbaby. He was [...]
Women Who Mother Me
Many women–with varied colors of skin and hair, with ages that range from deceased to younger than I, with backgrounds that contrast like the dark night from the first light of morning–have taken a special interest in my life, my health & well-being, and my happiness. These women, without regard to color or background or [...]
