Happy Thanksgiving from just over the hilltop in Norwood where most of the snow has melted in these last couple of days with the increased warm temperatures. The village was able to clear away the debris of leaves and brush along the roadsides this morning and now it can snow again. I am grateful the…

It is now Wednesday and I am at the church waiting for the gentleman that will tune the piano. Dick, Glenn, and a couple of workers moved it on Saturday. It is so beautiful just to look at. Thank you, Lord, for this blessing and to Glenn for the gift of using it. I am…
Good afternoon from “just over the hilltop” in Norwood on this lovely Monday. The air is thick at 87 degrees with a slight breeze and clouds rolling in. Dick is painting and I’m sure he’s grateful the sun is now behind those clouds. The glare of freshly painted wood in direct sun is exhausting. He…
When the days fly at jet speed and the accumulated miles/days run together and begin tripping over themselves; one must stop, straightened up the calendar, and start the regular routine again. The best thing about that flight is the marvelous and memorable memories it gave us. Yes, the last two weeks have been a whirlwind…
“June is busting out all over” and so is our life! Last week I mentioned time and trying to savor it, work it, and enjoy it: well, these last several days I have accomplished all of that with the time I was given! Before I write of our wonderful last five days let’s back up…

The title for this week’s journal comes from the re-occurring comment of Garrett when playing checkers with his little sister, or with me, or with his cousin Alysa. He is very sharp at this game and very strategic for a five year old. But often “It’s the rule” would resound as he had to inform…
Hello from just over the hilltop in Norwood where the people who dwell there have been extremely occupied and sometimes not even home. It’s hard to believe that two weeks have gone by since I last wrote you and so much has gone over the dam as the saying goes. And it’s all good! Backing…
At the moment I am listening to the weather report of our area and south of us is a large storm system with possible tornadoes heading through Lewis County. It appears to be north of where our daughters live and south of us, but never the less, the danger and anxious waiting is going on…
