I love to bake. I don’t do it much anymore because whatever I bake ends up in my mouth and then around my middle, but every year around Christmas I get the urge to make Christmas cookies. I used to invite groups of friends over and we would spend the day baking and then divide …

Linworth UMC Cantata
Yesterday the Linworth UMC choir presented their cantata and I was in the middle of the second row, singing right along with them. Since we were going to be in Columbus most of December, and we attend the Linworth UMC with John and Jackie when we are in town, I contacted the Linworth choir director …
The Cards Are In the Mail
Today I finished all my Christmas cards. I know we make fun of the letters that people include in their Christmas cards – the bragging or the glossy way people talk about their lives – but I like those annual letters that catch me up on the lives of people I care about. Still, it …
Done with the Bible
My mother gave me my first Bible when I turned 18. Before then I had borrowed one of the Bibles lying around the house when I went to Bible Study or wanted to read the Bible. But when I turned 18 she gave me a beautiful New American Standard Study Bible with a concordance in …
In God We Trust
“In God We Trust All, Others Pay Cash” is the amusing and intriguing title to a Jean Shepherd book. In case you aren’t familiar with Jean Shepherd, he is best known as the writer and narrator of the movie “A Christmas Story.” The stories used in the movie were based on Jean’s childhood growing up …
Children’s Musical at Linworth
I have been watching and directing children’s musicals for years. A good children’s musical will warm your heart for weeks as you remember bits of it and smile again. And I have never seen a bad children’s musical. Even the ones that don’t go as planned come out wonderfully. A few times, as a director, …
Decorating the RV for Christmas
A friend of mine who loves to decorate every room of her home for Christmas asked me how we were decorating the RV for Christmas. One of the good things about talking to people who are reading the blog is that it gives me ideas for new blog posts. So here is how we are …
An Even Bigger Truck
As I mentioned in my post about RVers Boot Camp, we had our rig weighed using the Smart Weigh system and found that our RV had too much pin weight for the rear axles of the F450. When we bought the F450 we were told it could pull any 5th Wheel we bought and people …
Catching Up in Akron
We are taking this week and doing some catching up. We are in Akron for the six month dentist and doctor appointments. We are only here for five days, so the days are pretty full with seeing family, friends, and keeping our appointments. But it doesn’t leave me much to write about. No interesting hikes …
Farewell Dear Printer
Two desktop computers ago, Tom and I got a state-of-the-art, HP Photosmart 3200 Three-in-one Printer. It was a thing of beauty, with color cartridges that could be exchanged individually. It scanned, printed beautiful pictures, and copied quickly and efficiently. The Printer even printed everything we asked of it. Until today. Today, I replaced the yellow …
