Life and Morality
Having grown up as a teen in the wild 60's, I've seen the lines between what's MORALLY right, and what's LEGALLY right blur. Sex before marriage was frowned upon when I grew up.........now it's accepted. There was one girl in my high school class of 1000 + kids who got pregnant and she was literally shunned and talked about. Girls who got pregnant ( Read more... ) -

Weddings, holidays, and family
This past weekend we were invited to the wedding of a young man that is a friend of my daughter first, her brother in law second. Which meant that my daughter was subject to her in-laws and the family and us. And we were all exposed to the bride's family. What a strange bunch of individuals the brides family is. Sullen and rude, definitely not ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Grab and Go
So much. The truth about the Iraq war, the truth about Viet Nam, the truth about the Kennedy assasination, the truth about the moon walk, the truth about all the illegal gvt. spending, and all the dirt on the senators and congressmen that manages to be kept hush hush.

I'm a Grandma!
Wow. I got to watch my granddaughter be born, and I can't begin to explain all of the emotions I felt. The first one would be pride. I am so proud of Krissy. She did so beautifully dealing with the ordeal of childbirth. She is so strong. I was so filled with pride and love for her. Then when little Allison Noel popped her head out her eyes were ( Read more... ) -
I HATE WINTER!
It was so nice today.........mid 50's to low 60's. I had my window down on the car and the sunroof open just a hair, but enough to get a nice breeze. It was wonderful having the window down, having a sweatshirt on and being 'warm enough". Now tomorrow they're calling for a high of 39 and snow by the weekend. This is just the beginning and I ( Read more... ) -
We really have not evolved
As a general rule, I don't watch MTV. But I'm sitting here waiting till 10:00 waiting for another show to come on, and flipping through the channels,when I come across a show called "Little Beauties". It's like America's Next Top Model for the toddler to pre-teen set. We as women have worked so hard through the generations to be taken seriously, ( Read more... ) -
Flood memories
It's been so hot and humid lately and we've been having really bad thunderstorms. Very much like it was thirty years ago when Johnstown (my hometown)had its third major flood. What do I remember ( Read more... ) -
Is it all a big lie?
I am a person who was raised in faith, not necessarily the church. I've been baptised three times (Brethren, Presbyterian, and Catholic) so I'm fairly familiar with a couple of doctrines. I raised my two children in the Catholic faith mixed with protestant Bible school in the summer so they could see that "church" isn't all "stand up, sit down, ( Read more... )
