The talk around the hospital was about angles. Physical therapy said my mother-in-law was doing great. They were hoping for 120 degrees of motion in her knee yesterday, and she got to 100. After PT, I had to massage the Charlie horse out of her calf, because her leg had gone through quite a stretch….
We decided it was just too dangerous, this owning of a motorcycle, so he donned his helmet for the last time. We were taking the bike to a friend’s shop where he could sell it for us. I knew generally where the shop was but not exactly, so I followed closely behind Matt and watched…
They all said it would take three years to be successful. Can you blog about your subject for three years? they said. At the time, I had only hit “publish” on seven blog posts, so three years seemed like forever. Could I sit down and write about who God was in my life for 156 weeks…
My husband is a licensed professional counselor, and people are often surprised that he doesn’t tell me anything about their problems. He never even mentions their names to me. If someone calls the house, he goes upstairs to the bedroom so he can talk in private. He is a safe person to confide in. And…
This weekend I drove away from my mother and my daughter, and I think there should be a law against that. I drove to Wyoming by myself, to visit my mom, and we had the most wonderful time. She took me to a little place in Lander called The Middle Fork, where I ate the…
After stopping at my daughter and son-in-law’s apartment in Bozeman, the halfway point on my way to visit my mom in Wyoming, I packed up my suitcase in the morning and pulled it over snow-covered sidewalks to my car. Driving out of the parking lot, I took the detour around a construction site on the…
You should have heard us at church last Saturday night. That preacher man –who looked mighty fine –had us looking back on all the good in 2015. Three years ago we started a debt emancipation to pay off our building mortgage of 1.3 millions dollars, and today it is payed off. What do we say…
When we took the kids to Disneyland for the first time, they were in high school. As we talked about our trip to California, our son was excited about Disneyland, but our daughter acted cool. Disneyland was for little kids, you know. Until we got there, and you should have seen her face on the…
Dear friends, I hope you have had joyful moments with the Lord during this season. I am taking one more week to rest my creative brain and enjoy family, so I am re-sharing with you today this blog post from a few years ago… The Flathead Electric Co-op Annual Meeting is not a really fun…
I suggested to both moms that perhaps going in on an E-reader would be the perfect gift for Matt’s birthday this November. So I could have my Kindle back, for Pete’s sake. They gave in, and I was able to buy a novel for my Kindle this Thanksgiving break, with the lofty goal of reading…
All you have to do is talk to a college student the week before Thanksgiving holiday, to know living is impossible. All the tasks we need to accomplish are more than a person can do. Or ask someone how he’s doing, with sincerity of heart that really begs an answer, and get the honest response…
He was looking good dressed for church. Jokingly he used the word Adonis and struck a pose. Actually, 23 years into marriage and he’s getting more handsome to me all the time. So I’m afraid that’s what I thought of Saturday night when we sang words from an old hymn, I dare not trust the…
