Hi everyone... I may not be around much today, but I'll try to come back if I can. Tricia will come back with us this afternoon, so of course we don't want to be rude. It's such fun to have her here! I'm off to my next appointment with Doctor Herman in just a few minutes. I'm not sure why, but I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

FREEDOM’S WHISPER It’s late morning in early May. I’ve come back to Amsterdam for a second time and I’m even more humbled by it than the first time I visited. At first I didn’t understand what prompted me to return. But I soon will. I was awakened in my hotel room this morning by the joyful call of... Sign in to see full entry.

HELLO, MY FRIEND It’s a bright, chilly late afternoon in Amsterdam. It’s early September…or is it October? No matter, I’m finally here, after all these long and painful years of waiting to pay my respects. My first time in Holland. A day I was sure would never come. I’ve only been here three days,...

The weather is dismal again today. From what I hear, it's supposed to rain until sometime tomorrow. Never mind. It is a good day. Yesterday I finally got round to completing another row of the PEANTS latch hook kit I sstarted so long ago. I intend to at least try for another row(or two?) today at... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Saturday my friends! Margaret and I haven't been feeling or sleeping well for the last few nights, so this being a Saturday we slept until 11:00 this morning. During the week we usually try to set the alarm clock for between 8:00 and 9:00. Today we simply didn't care. In that regard, I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

KISS ME ONCE 15 August, 1945 She stands there, a small pebble against the vast ocean of people crowding the train station this beautiful August morning. It isn’t raining, for once! Well, unless you consider the tears falling from the women’s eyes. She dashed the two blocks to the train station even... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello everyone... I will try my best to come back here at some point today to continue with one or more of my stories. Believe me, I will indeed need the distraction. Tricia and Margaret have gone off to do some shopping at Wal-Mart, and Tricia will be coming back here to spend a small part of the... Sign in to see full entry.

I AM LENI PART ONE UNWILLLING FUGITIVES CHAPTER ONE Our first actual session came about on a dreary, cloud filled Tuesday morning. Great puffs of marshmellow-like snow swirled and zigzagged to the ground. I could feel Elisabeth’s eyes on me as I watched it fall. “You’re pretty tensed up this morning...

Hi everyone... It's a beautiful day here. I hope you've all had a wonderful day. It isn't as sunny as yesterday, but still pleasant. A nice breeze, and the birds sound lovely trilling their songs outside. Sadly, Tricia had to go back home this morning. But she'll be back maybe on Monday night to... Sign in to see full entry.

What a beautiful day! The sunshine is nice and bright...not a single rain cloud in the sky! There is a nice cool breeze and there are birds singing all over the place! What more could one ask? Tricia is attending a function at Aaron's school but she'll be back soon. Then we'll hire a taxi and head... Sign in to see full entry.

This being the anniversary of D-Day, let us take a few moments to remember those in service to our country who made the ultimate sacrifice so many long years ago. Let us also pray for those who serve now, and those who have recently fallen in service. Bless you and thank you all... Sign in to see full entry.

Tricia wasn't supposed to come for her over night visit until tomorrow, but she rang just a while ago to ask whether she couldn't come to us tonight. Aaron has gone to his dad's house today rather than tomorrow morning and she doesn't want to be on her own. So I told her of course she's welcome to... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Saturday my friends! The weather here is beautiful today! Sunny and bright, but not too hot or humid, thank goodness. I don't think I could deal with humidity at this point. I'm sitting here thinking...what should I do with myself today? Should I read? Write? Write a letter or two? Send an... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm so blessed... What with my body being out of whack lately, I've been feeling a bit sad. Nothing I can't handle, but there it is. However, I've just found a way to lift my spirits. And someone else's, I hope. Some of you may remember some time ago that I posted about a friend of my Grammy's who... Sign in to see full entry.

My friends... Will you please join me in prayer for the victims of the shootings yesterday in Yuma, Arizona? My heart goes out to each and every one of them. Thank you and God bless you all. Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I haven't felt like writing much of anything today. Margaret hasn't been feeling well today and I've been elevating my foot as much as possible. Due to the heat we've had, my feet are swollen. Especially the left foot. I rang Doctor Herman's surgery this morning-as I promised you,... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a wonderful and safe Memorial Day holiday. Our friend Tricia came Monday morning and stayed with us until just after noon today. She's coming back to have breakfast with us tomorrow and we may(or not) go to Wal-Mart. She borrowed AVATAR from her dad and we watched... Sign in to see full entry.

Tricia just left after having spent part of the afternoon with us. She's looking forward to coming back on Monday to spend a couple of days with us and we're looking forward to it too! I'm glad she was here, because just as Margaret was getting ready to leave with her-she has to go run a couple of... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... Happy Tuesday, dear ones! What a gorgeous day I see outside my window! It rained mad all day yesterday and all this morning, but now the sun is nice and bright. The grass is a lovely bright green and smells sweet. Wish I could go outside and roll round in it! Tricia came to have... Sign in to see full entry.
