Time Flies!
Wow! Where has the time gone? They say, Time flies when you’re having fun, or as Kermit the Frog once said, Time’s fun when you’re having flies. Perception of time is a really interesting thing! A kid is waiting for Christmas morning feels it will never get here and his parents are shocked that it…
I am not a single parent!
I think it is interesting to be a widow in one respect – that of a parent. I feel like I am still married for starters, but I also I am not really parenting alone. Jim’s influence and leadership are still powerfully present in our family. Maybe because I don’t feel “single” in the true…

Thirty-One Years! 8/23/1980
Does it still count? It is hard to know what to do today or how to process my feelings. Today would have been my 31st wedding anniversary. I think I will go to 31 flavors to celebrate. I am sure that Jim would have come up with that idea had he been alive! I put…
Launching my First born!
Perhaps this is too personal to put on this blog. It is the letter I wrote to Emily this evening. It sort of captures some of the feelings I am experiencing as she moves to Biola to start her college experience tomorrow. Dear Emily Ruth, I am sitting here listening to you laugh and sing…
