This is a diary of Monday, February 26, 2024.
3:50 a.m. My alarm goes off. I get up, unlock the door, and wait for Dustin, daughter Loretta, and their two boys to arrive. After getting them settled down for a nap, Dustin leaves for work at the RV factory. Son … Continue Reading ››
It’s another sunshiny February day with the temperatures above freezing. Yesterday, I hung the laundry out on the wash lines to dry. Once again, I was able to bring it all in and fold it and put it away the same day. I don’t remember ever having this many days in February that … Continue Reading ››
We have entered the first week of February, though it would be hard to tell by the weather. Yesterday was sunny and 50 degrees. I hung all the laundry out to dry, and most of it could be folded and put away the same day.
Happy birthday to Grace (son Joseph’s special friend). Her birthday is … Continue Reading ››
The ground is covered with snow again, which will probably be gone by tomorrow. On Sunday morning the ground was also covered, but it was gone by afternoon. Other than the cold spell the other week, we have had a pretty mild winter so far.
Daughter Loretta doesn’t mind if there isn’t any snow on the … Continue Reading ››
First of all, a happy 28th birthday to daughter Susan on January 24. Also a happy 55th birthday to my sister Liz. I wish both of them many more happy and healthy years. I don’t get to see Liz too often. I think I only saw her a few times in over a year and … Continue Reading ››

Grandson Ryan seems to be doing … Continue Reading ››
There is a winter weather advisory out this morning. It felt good to be in the warm house and hear the blowing wind from the inside. My husband Joe and son Joseph left for work. I’m sure the roads were a challenge for the drivers.
A brand-new year is before us. What does 2024 hold in store? A new year always feels like a new beginning. A time to try harder to break bad habits, a time to start fresh. Most importantly, to spend more time reading God’s words every day and remembering those less fortunate in life. We have … Continue Reading ››
Dear readers,
This is Loretta. Mom asked if I would like to write her column. I would say I'm a little overdue writing the column, but I know it helps Mom since she is busy getting ready for church services. On December 24, Mom is planning on having us children stay the night and having Christmas … Continue Reading ››
I'm Lovina's daughter Susan. I wanted to help Mom out and write an article for her. I'm not sure how Mom does it, knowing what to write every week. I have a hard time just doing one article.
This Monday morning, the children are all in school except Ervin Jay. He's sleeping in the swing right now. He loves the … Continue Reading ››
