  • Barefoot in the morning…

    I snickered to myself this morning while walking between the bedroom to the kitchen because I turned on lights as I traveled the well worn path.  I have cats.  The number one fear is a hairball…if you have every stepped on a hairball, you will totally get me here.  Number two reason is we can’t… Read more

  • R.I.P. Julie

    This morning I received one of those phone calls.  One from a dear friend telling me that one of our own has passed away.  I last saw Julie at the Rising Sun Youth Group reunion a few short months ago.  I sat next to her and we caught up on each others lives.  She said… Read more

  • I had to laugh

    p>You know that feeling when you are driving somewhere – usually alone – you arrive at your destination or…squirrel…something knocks you out of your trance and you have no idea how you got there because you have been in a hypnotized state since the last time you can remember something getting your attention.  Well, it… Read more

  • A Step Closer….

    My replacements in the 911 center were announced today.  I’m feeling that a giant weight as been lifted from my shoulders.  When he and I decided on the date I would retire, I knew there was going to be a lot of angst in the workplace.  Not because I’m so darn popular but because it… Read more

    My oldest daughter married her “love” yesterday in a surprise ceremony in her back yard.  It wasn’t a surprise to the bride and groom or her sister or his Papa or their friend, Kris who took pictures.  But it was a surprise to the parents and friends.   I wasn’t as giddy and emotional as the… Read more

  • He and his brother had the U-haul loaded when I got home…but there are no running lights…there is a dead spot in the truck…something you always want to hear…so we didn’t stop for supper on the way down..instead we stopped at Caseys in Bethany on the east side of the interstate…he says…the man who never… Read more

  • Pat

    The public Pat by KCCI Browsing his facebook page brings tears to my eyes.  The love on his face playing with his granddaughter, the family pictures…fishing, camping and boating with wife, Kim.  Pat was dedicated to his chosen career path but nothing came before the love of his family.

  • What have I missed?

    Having just worked through the Labor Day Holiday…my last one by the way…I feel a loss caused by this career I’ve chosen.  I reflect on how it used to be…Sundays used to be family day and/or church day. When I was a teenager, I spent all of Sunday in church – Sunday morning church, Choir… Read more

  • I’m up in the middle of the night because my mind cannot shut down.  My mind cannot stop asking why… I want to remember the last time I heard his voice…the last time I heard him say women should not be allowed in Fantasy Football…the last time I heard his little laugh while debating politics… Read more
