This is my version of events in conversing with Ruby.

Ruby needed to take Bayley's dog, Zooey, to the Vet.  She also had Emma and Andrew
with her.  At the Vet's office Ruby instructed Emma and Andrew to, " just sit quietly! And
do not pay any attention to other people's dogs! Or try to pet them! Or anything!  Just sit
still and wait for us to return ( Read more... )

Alice has shown an interest in a new man in her life.  His name is Drew.
He seems to be a good man and after introducing Alice to a close friend, his
friend had this to say about his impression of Alice..."She's gorgeous, intelligent,
and has a great sense of humor.  Don't @#!k it up!  And if you do, give me her number."

We happen to have the youngest of the grandkids with us this weekend.

Of course Andrew and Nathan are the first ones up.  Emma and Sammy are both
8 yrs. old and both have new braces on their teeth.  Andrew and Nathan are the
"little brothers".  They are all going to Timberlake Ranch Camp this week and they
are all excited!

Monica and I are visiting ( Read more... )

It occurs to me that I have too much time on my hands.  At least I have too much
time that I use in a very unproductive way.

After some misperceived infliction of "wrong", I thought to myself, "I will be recompensed
in Heaven!"  I thought only about me!  How I was "wronged"!  How that "Vengence will
belong to the Lord!"

I may have been right.  However ( Read more... )

R.A.M. doesn't that stand for "random access memory"?  I hope so, 'cause
that's what this will be...

I'm just sitting here listening to Donovan, kinduva hippie guy who had some
really neat songs in the 1960's.  I've got all my "chores" done for today and I'm
waiting for Ruby to come home.  I wouldn't mind some interaction with somebody
but I guess this ( Read more... )

Still having some weird dreams, but they are a little more "under control", so to speak.
I got home from work the other night and got to bed about 3 AM.

I got up in the morning to have coffee with Ruby, one of the most enjoyable times of day for
me, and I related the strange dream...I was "shopping" and we (whoever I was with) bought
a lot of toys, ( Read more... )

I love and miss my kids and grandkids!
And, when I see them, I just love to hug them and kiss them on the head!
So…when I talk to their mothers (our daughters) I always tell them to “hug ‘em and kiss
‘em on the head!” It is definitely a vicarious expression of my love for them!

On one occasion, talking on the phone to Sarah, mother of Emma, Andrew and ( Read more... )

Okay, I've decided to follow the Daily Bread admonition to read through the Bible, yearly.
As a family, and by myself, I have read the Bible clear through a couple of times, and now,
in 2011, I'm probably on my sixth or seventh year of reading the Bible from page to page,
using the Daily Bread as a guide. 
   This year Darcey gave me The Daily Bible " ( Read more... )

I started on some medication to lower my blood pressure (bystolic).  The last couple of weeks
my dreams have been kinda out of control.  I think they say that you always dream but you rarely remember
them.  Well, lately my dreams have been unusually strange and I remember them somewhat vividly.  And
I seem to dream everytime I sleep.  Dreams are like ( Read more... )

There will be two entries.  They will be exactly alike.  They will show God's love.  The names are
real, and though the names are changed,  God's love will not.

The following is from a Sermon given by Pastor Bruce Lester from the Evangelical Free Church
from McCook, Nebraska.  The original sermon was for Kailee Clapp.  I have inserted little
