Hello from “just over the hilltop” in Norwood where the sun is peeking through the overcast sky.

Stuff happens. And when it does, how do I react? Well, first I should say hello from the overcast hilltop where the colors on our maples are vividly brilliant today. Dick has always said that the colors of fall are best displayed on a cloudy or drizzly day. He is right. (Before you read further,…

What a special time we had with them and the local grandchildren, their…
Several of our dear friends, have not been able to be with their loved ones when they were in the hospital dying or very sick during these months of quarantine. The pain is often unbearable, the grief deep and unyielding. Doesn’t anyone hear the cry of the afflicted family? Yes, there is someone. Jesus told…
Hello from “just over the hilltop” at the Rose of Sharon, which is still closed to guests, but where I can write and give you another recipe. This time I have two recipes for muffins. Muffins are maybe one of my favorite things to bake and I usually bake them for others when they are…
When Kate was born, she had apnea which would have led to her becoming a crib death or SIDS baby. At three weeks I discovered she wasn’t breathing, the doctors believed me, ran extensive tests, and that’s when we discovered the apnea. We were trained on a monitor that alerted us with an alarm when…
