Capital “C”!

We are not celebrating just another holiday! We are celebrating the reality that [...]
Of Gifts and Real Estate!
Deb has taken static from family all week. They have a higher temperature in New Hampshire than we do in the Valley. We did find some twisted satisfaction though when our friends on the Hill were giving the White Mountain temperatures. Tim put a picture of his thermometer on Facebook one morning when it was reading -12. Wow! We [...]
Be Wise!
We ate too much!!!! We had great fellowship!! We were also reminded the camera images are not the same as being with the grand babies! Since they are scattered over three states, it’s a bit hard to be with them all anyway. Overall we felt really blessed! We pray that was your Thanksgiving experience also. As I prepared to begin [...]
Arizona In a State of Emergency
By Senator Sylvia Allen November 29, 2011 The Arizona border remains under assault. This assault is not diminishing but increasing! Just south of Arizona, Mexico is in a state of civil war. The death toll in Mexico is more than 40,000 lives lost since 2006. Only the Mexican military is able to maintain any semblance of order, [...]
Thanksgiving & Honor
Anyone eating some turkey this week?? We have a lot to be thankful for. In past seasons I have given the percentages of world population that have certain things like a bed and a job and a billfold or purse---even if it has very little money in it. If you are reading this you are in the top few percentage points of folks in the world as [...]
Paradise Needs You
City of Grace cancelled their annual “Party in the Park” scheduled for the 13th due to an unusual forecast for rain!

Epitaphs

Two Weeks!
On 1492 Columbus sailed the Ocean blue. . . . and then my memory fades. I can’t recall the last of that little ditty! These are the days that my wife, who worked for New Hampshire for almost 20 years hates to work on—she is used to having them as paid holidays. For me, who has always been self employed, these are days when I have to [...]
