  • Little Miracles…..

    You know how as you go about life things just happen that you can’t explain. They are more than a coincidence. People have different things they call them, but I have always considered them little miracles. Sometimes they are an answer to a prayer and sometimes they just happen, and sometimes they are a prayer…

  • A few year end thoughts

    As 2023 comes to a close I have a few thoughts about this year. I remember when the year began I had such high hopes and anticipation for our trip coming up in May. I thought about it more than I should have. It turned out it was the greatest adventure of my life. Not only did we…

  • A Peaceful Heart

    I am not sure I want to continue. I have a lot of story left to tell. Not having my parents had a huge impact on my life. More than that my Grandma had a huge impact because she always knew exactly what was best for me. I want to share what an amazing, Christian…

  • My Grade School Days

    One of the things I briefly mentioned was that it was when I was 3 years old and my Uncle Dick married my Aunt Janet, that I became Janie to my family. We even have the same middle name. I tease her that I brought her into our lives. I set the table and said,…

  • Moving to the house that built me

    As I said previously, my Aunt and my Uncle each got married when I was around 3. My Aunt moved to Funk with her husband and my Uncle stayed on the farm. My Grandma and I moved into Holdrege to my parents home at this time. It was the perfect place for me to grow…

  • So hard to believe there was more to come…

    The next part of the story is one I don’t know so much about. I am not sure how my family did it, but they went about their daily lives. I know that they had/have an amazing faith in God. I do remember my Grandma telling me about the first time they came to my…

  • I Can’t Even Begin to Imagine….

    My plans from the start were to tell you more about my family and my Grandma. I have thought many times about how awful this was for them. I am not sure there are even words to express how that phone call felt. My Grandma was out cutting coupons off chicken feed bags. I am…

  • Whisper words of wisdom…..Let it be

    ******* This is one of my toughest posts yet. I am not sure if I can adequately describe my feelings. But as always I will give you my best. We started out down the coast Saturday morning. We were headed to Crescent City California. (On the way we listened to “Let It Be” It was…

  • Closed -Gone Fishing

    ALERT: THIS IS HEAVIER THAN THE TITLE IMPLIES Not really going fishing in the real sense. (This was on a shop in Bozeman and I loved it) But I am going to wait a few days to blog again. I want you to know I am safe and doing all the things. I just think…

  • The View From The Road

    I want to start by saying that I just reread part of my Grandma Bennett’s diary. They did go to the Bonneville Dam where we stopped. They saw all that we saw. And they talked about the sturgeons too. I have a hard time reading some of her diary. I printed it as dark as…
