Unexpected Visitor

    Jon was sure surprised when a friend of his showed up to see him from Massachusetts.  Colby Mars moved away from here with his family almost six years ago.  His mom Sandy was born and raised in Massachusetts, so most of her family are there.  Colby had advanced and graduated early.  For a few months now, he had been working in Maine.  When Colby gets back, he will be going into basic training in May at South Carolina.
  That will be good for him because he had finished some training and it already has made a big difference.  He is much more respectful and polite, proud of him for that.
   So that was unexpected when he showed up and surprised us all, but it was a very nice surprise, it was good to see him, especially with all he has achieved so far, so I wish him the best in all he does.  Pray that he continues to become a success in his life for his mom, step father and younger siblings sake.
  Today, the kids and I went over to my folks, my sister had gotten the new Star Wars Film and we watched that.  I gotta say I really enjoyed the film, although didn't like them bumping off Han Solo.  I liked the story even though it compares to the previous plots, good none the less.
  Hope and pray all of you are doing well and staying safe.  You know I worry about you so much Stephen.  You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers and I love you so very much!
You have a good day , Write you later!

Weather Spotter

        Hello Schizz   Hope you are having a good day hon, its cold here, snow flurries have fallen along with rain.  I know that's nothing compared with what you all have had to deal with a few weeks ago, so I won't complain.   Went to my weather spotter class last night.     It was a good turnout, I noticed quite a few families there. I couldn't get Carianne to go with me and Jon had to work, so I went alone.  Compared to the Weather Spotter SkyWarn class I went to back in 1993, it was 100% more informative and helpful and that in itself was great because it was good then.  I had some problems though because my hearing garbled so much of what the instructor said, I was trying to stay awake.  Luckily I could read and see enough to understand what they spoke of.  So much of my hearing is tone, so many tones I can't make out or hear in general.    Back in 1993, much of the information was on Tornadoes and straight line winds, this time around it covered floods.  The p

Hello Schizz, Wishing You A Good Night's Rest,Love You Darling One!

                                                                 Pray you are having a good week and everyone is ok.  I am always thinking and praying about you with much love Stephen, please be taking care of yourself!                                                                  Got to see Mary Beth today, helped her a little with her pets and helped her down off of  her porch steps, didn't take long before she was worn out.  It may sound strange but she did seem to look a bit better to me.  I know there will be days where that will happen, some days are better than others.  I like to think, just having a chance to see her, even giving her a smile, gives her spirit a boost, some encouragement that someone cares.  I am glad her sister-in-law is checking in on her too, they are close like sisters.                                                                  Mary Beth sure loves her little car, she does drive it still, back and forth between her houses.  They are just down

The New England Primer

                                                      Knowing that you are all getting a mix of wind, rain and snow , I thought I would share a fact I read  OUR DAILY BREAD publication for today's reading that I thought you might enjoy during all this unseemly weather.                                                    The New England Primer was published in the late 1600s.  Throughout the colonies that would later become the United States, the book became a widely used resource.                                                    This early American textbook was based largely on the Bible, and it used pictures and rhymes based on scripture to help children learn to read.  It also included prayers  like this one: " Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.  If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take."                                                    In colonial America , this became a way that one generation was able to pass alo
