    ‘Twas the Night Before Elections

    Saturday, November 1st, 2008

    ‘Twas the night before elections
    And all through the town
    Tempers were flaring
    Emotions all up and down!
    I, in my bathrobe
    With a cat in my lap
    Had cut off the TV
    Tired of political crap.
    When all of a sudden
    There arose such a noise
    I peered out of my window
    Saw Obama and his boys
    They had come for my wallet
    They wanted my pay
    To [...]

    Cooking in Colorado

    Friday, September 26th, 2008

    In 38 years, since the first time I ever baked anything, I never had a cake fall, until now. In the past few years since my sons have grown and moved out of the house, I’ve reduced my baking figuring they aren’t here to eat it and I don’t need to eat it. The sweet [...]

    This one will bring a tear to your eye….thanks Dave for sending it to me.
    What would you do?…you make the choice. Don’t look for a punch line, there isn’t one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?
    At a fund raising dinner for a school that serves children with learning [...]

    A Quilt of Holes

    Monday, September 8th, 2008

    As I faced my Maker at the last judgment, I knelt before the Lord along with
    all the other souls
    Before each of us, our life was laid out like the squares of a quilt in many piles;
    an angel sat before each of us sewing our quilt squares together into a
    tapestry that was our life.
    But as my [...]

    AFTER A FEW OF THE USUAL SUNDAY EVENING HYMNS,
    THE CHURCH’S PASTOR SLOWLY STOOD UP,
    WALKED OVER TO THE PULPIT AND,
    BEFORE HE GAVE HIS SERMON FOR THE EVENING,
    HE BRIEFLY INTRODUCED A GUEST MINISTER
    WHO WAS IN THE SERVICE THAT EVENING.
    IN THE INTRODUCTION, THE PASTOR TOLD THE
    CONGREGATION THAT THE GUEST MINISTER WAS
    ONE OF HIS DEAREST CHILDHOOD FRIENDS AND
    THAT HE [...]
