Happy Christmas and Merry New Year (Just felt like changing things up a bit…) My prayer for all of you is that you will know God’s greatest gift – His Son Jesus Christ – and that you will be greatly blessed with love and joy and peace. Love, Sue
I’ve never been a good shopper, probably because I’ve lived most of my life in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. When I was a kid, shopping choices included our local mom-and-pop stores (which were wonderful), catalogs, and homemade. Now that I’m an adult our shopping choices include our local mom-and-pop stores (which are still wonderful), Wal-Mart, online…
This week, we’ve enjoyed so many blessings! 1. A good doctor’s report for my father, who was having stroke-like symptoms. Diagnosis? A pinched nerve in his neck. 2. Receiving a fun package from “The Joyful Rose Shop” that included a Christmas chalk board and these cards: Please excuse my poor photography on this wonderful card….
It’s not about the “stuff,” although we are so very blessed with things, gadgets, and belongings. It’s not about the “stuffing,” although we will enjoy a feast. It’s all about the love! HAPPY THANKSGIVING and many BLESSINGS TO ALL!! (Class of 68 photograph, Christine Nettleton; Boy and Grandfather Photograph, Lori Nixon; cat photograph, Monia Kanebog;…
Looking back on this week, I can’t believe how much we crammed into just a few days – family visits, author appearances, and travel – but I’ll limit this post to the day we spent on the Muskegon River in Michigan with our son and his daughters. Unfortunately our daughter-in-law and daughter had to work…

Kids and grandkids have a way of touching our hearts, deep down – and our funny bones. We recently took a short car trip with our granddaughters ages 9 and 6 and stopped at a Sam’s Club to buy groceries. Nine-year-old: Yay! We’re going to Sam’s Club. That’s my favorite store! Six-year-old: Yay! We’re going…
I was having a great, motivated, write-every-day week. My husband was away on a fishing trip, and I had six hours of daylight between care-giving times for my dad-in-law. I was really going to speed into my second draft! But sometimes life happens. My dad wound up in the hospital and my mother has dementia. Suddenly…
Yesterday we had the joy of visiting with friends from New Jersey. Actually, Karen has been a friend for a long time, but this was our first opportunity to meet her husband Fred and to catch up on all the news about their incredible and newly blended family. It was a great visit. Fred and my husband…
