Last night I prepared a Blueberry Crunch for some friends that were coming over to play Bridge. Once we had finished dinner and began playing cards, no one seemed interested in the dessert. The full casserole dish of scrumptious blueberries, pineapple, and pecans over a layer of a yellow cake mix stood dormant on theContinue reading “Blueberry Crunch”

The Very Steps We Take
The rocky path was hard to maneuver but I found if I kept moving, I could almost glide over the rocks and stones that lay under my feet. But if I slowed down and thought about the obstacles that lined the path, it would cause me to stumble and almost bring my pace to aContinue reading “The Very Steps We Take”
A Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie
I know I shouldn’t make them but the urge for a gooey, melt in your mouth chocolate chip cookie every couple of weeks is just too difficult to pass up. Because I make them so often, I know the recipe by heart. Over a course of time, I have learned that it isn’t just theContinue reading “A Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie”
With the Help of a Walking Stick
It just wasn’t what I thought it would be. From the brochure and name of the cabin, I was certain we would have a creek running through the property where we could walk down with fishing poles and hopes of a big catch. But as we turned off the road where the river winded besideContinue reading “With the Help of a Walking Stick”

About the Book HERE WE GO JOE our Families Journey with Dementia with Dignity
I had been a special educator for over three decades and was looking forward to my retirement. It had been difficult work in so many ways but also rewarding. By the time I actually left the classroom, I was both elated and confused. In the following months after I closed this chapter in my life, I found myself wandering around without a professional purpose for the first time since childhood. I often wondered what God wanted me to do during this season and so I spent a lot of time in His word and conversing with Godly people.
Home Again, Home Again

Often I can find myself saying a little phrase that I learned when I was a young girl. “Home again, home again, jiggidy jog.” Not having an idea of what it means, I like theContinue reading “Home Again, Home Again”
