I wanted to reach out and personally thank everyone for the kind words, prayers, donations, and overall support while I have been going through my recent health challenges. Your kindness and love means more to me than I know how to express and a million thank-yous doesn’t seem enough. When I was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematoses, I had no idea the challenges I would face. After being well-managed for so long, things got a little more difficult in the spring of 2022. After almost two years of working with numerous s...

As Veteran's Day approaches, my heartfelt gratitude goes out to all Veterans, but I especially feel deep sadness for those who s...

There were even puddles that the cats stared at, in surprise, and avoided with curiosity. Dick and Erma Albert had eye doctor appointments on Tuesday. Their prescriptions did not have to be changed, but Dick’s scratched lenses needed to be replaced. On Friday, they went to the Senior Citizen Dinner, and were glad to visit with Delores Sperle and some of her family. Church on Sunday was early. It was also t...
Hello God, it's me, Mara: You know, Lord, a quick glance at the large colorful thermometer by the Beauty Shop shows "how the weather is doing", as weather is one thing most folks love to talk about, besides grain prices and grandkids, this thermometer 'sort of' lets you know "how the weather's doing." While chatting, Joni said, at the beauty shop the other day, conversations about church, café, kids, clothes, were quickly put aside, once the weather of the day and week...
