Just thinking about that time at Grandpa and Grandma’s makes me wish that I could have had a camera, or video camera handy to take her picture and see the expression on her face when he got done with the fireplace.

Today Dorothy Peterson went home to Heaven.
She was born Aug 12,1931.
She loved the Lord, her family, and those she adopted as her ‘kids’.
Her family celebrates her arrival in Heaven and the family reunion she is having with loved ones who have gone on before. She no longer hurts.

Have you seen the recent advertisement that contains the phrase ‘invisible cord’? It is disturbing that the father is presented as being a moron. The daughter is presented as being a smart alec disrespectful brat.
The mother does not act as a parent. The whole idea is not good.
I realize that this is [...]

Remember that earlier I had mentioned that this summer was going to be very hot?
The weather man mentioned that we had already seen the temperature of 104! The only thing that I could think of was to stay inside, get something cold to drink and pray for rain.

Mom is over at the nursing home getting rehab right now, I would dearly love to give something to her to help cheer her up.
When she was down in the hospice, we gave her a giant rose that smelled live a rose. It is approximately 3′ long. I have never seen another one [...]
