Easter Supper, The Young and the Restless (her story), All in the Family (or, as she passionately referred to the show, Archie Bunker), the Jeffersons, and Family Feud. Those are a few of the things I remember my grandma by as I mourn her loss one year later. Tonight, we had raviolis for supper withContinue reading “Remembering Grandma— One Year Later”

A great turnout by our Achievers club today with four exceptional speakers. These women spoke very well. The speeches were well-prepared and had our attention. But first… Before we began the meeting I introduced our guests and we had a lot of them for today’s open house.

These last three weeks have been great. We’ve reopened the church to 25 or less (others have opened up their homes to have church). However, this weekend we got the good news from Pastor Donn and Pastor JD that we’ve been moved up to Yellow. This means that we are able to attend church inContinue reading “Cornerstone LIVE”

I missed my visit to Cranberry High Noon yesterday afternoon for the first time in a month. On top of that, I also missed their speakathon. It’s all good though.
