Collecting Stamps
Monday, 28 November 2005 12:00 A GMT-06
Because my dad was interested in coins, my sisters and I started collecting stamps. Dottie doesn’t collect them anymore, and Cheria later started collecting paper money. Cheria’s sons collected stamps when they were growing up. I would buy sta

My Own Manicurists
Sunday, 27 November 2005 1:34 P GMT-06
I now have my own manicurists! My younger granddaughter painted my nails orange, then my older granddaughter put pink polish with sparkles over that. Here is the result. Don't you wish you they could paint your nails too?

Thankfulness
Friday, 25 November 2005 12:00 A GMT-06
We had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. We went to our son-in-law's parent's house for dinner. Her mother-in-law is a wonderful cook. Everything was delicious, and I ate too much. Our son Lee and his girlfriend came over later.
We did a lot of

Thanksgiving
Wednesday, 23 November 2005 12:00 A GMT-06
I like celebrating Thanksgiving! There is a lot of delicious food and good fellowship without the pressure of buying presents and decorating the Christmas tree. My husband Bill and I have celebrated it in a variety of ways over the years.

Malcolm
Monday, 21 November 2005 12:00 A GMT-06
When our friends Lou, Freda, and Malcolm came to visit, we would serve them Coke or iced tea along with cake and ice cream. That was very different for them. Usually people in England served drink with very little ice, but we would have LOTS of i

Me and a Big Bear

Not long ago I sent a photo of me standing by a statue of a big at Lake Tahoe to Stand By Your Statue. I posed by the bear so I could send it in to him. Go over to his Web site to see the good photo that my husband took of me. Thanks, SBYS, for

Coins and Friends
Friday, 18 November 2005 12:00 A GMT-06
My dad started collecting coins when we lived in England. He would go to antique, coin, and stamp shops looking for coins. It was through coin and stamp collecting that we made some very good friends. My dad advertized in the local newspaper

Winter Hill
Wednesday, 16 November 2005 12:00 A GMT-06
Near Maidenhead there is a very, very steep grassy hill. One day, my sisters and I walked there. I started walking down the hill and ended up running. Then I was running faster and faster and couldn't stop until I got to the bottom!

Response to "Encouragement"
Monday, 14 November 2005 7:57 A GMT-06
This is one of my spur-of-the-moment blogs. It is in response to today's post by A Military Mom. She wonders how people do it if they don't believe in God. Her made me think of two articles that I recently read, which don't perfectly relate to wha

Piano Lessons
Monday, 14 November 2005 12:00 A GMT-06
Dottie and I took piano lessons for about a year and a half. Our piano teacher would come to the house once a week. He was an older gentleman, and looking back, he must have been very patient. I learned two things during that time

Stonehenge
Friday, 11 November 2005 12:00 A GMT-06
We visited Stonehenge on a beautiful day. Nowadays people are not allowed to walk among the stones, but when we were there, we could walk around them and climb on them.

Marlow Road Baptist Church
Wednesday, 9 November 2005 12:00 A GMT-06
When we lived in Maidenhead, we attended Marlow Road Baptist Church. It was close enough to walk. I don't remember very much about the Sunday morning worship service, but I remember Sunday school at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. There was also

The Weather
Monday, 7 November 2005 12:00 A GMT-06
At times the weather in England was very rainy or very foggy. Summers didn't seem to last very long--but they were beautiful with all the flowers, especially roses, that everyone grew. I remember the foggy days. When Dottie and I started hi

Runnymede

One day we visited two memorials at Runnymede. The first memorial was the Air Forces Memorial. Queen Elizabeth unveiled the memorial in 1953. Situated high on a hill and overlooking the Thames River and Magna Carta Island, the memorial was built

Playing Pinochle
Wednesday, 2 November 2005 12:00 A GMT-06
My dad learned to play pinochle, and he taught my mom. They in turn taught Dottie and me how to play. Most of the time, my dad and I were partners against my mom and Dottie. Some days we would play so many games that I would dream of cards when
