Who says time travel isn’t possible? For years the idea of a time machine has captured our imaginations. What if there was such a gadget which we could enter and be transported to a different era? What if we could go back? Guess what? We have such a vehicle…it peels back the layers of time … Continue reading Time Travel

The morning is cool. It is dark except for silver clouds that hide the full moon. As I watch the clouds roll away, the mountains come into view bathed in shimmering light. The light of the moon is so bright it casts shadows. It is a spectacular scene. I am again amazed at how differently … Continue reading Moonlight

Have I told you about my chemo brain? You would think that four years out I would have re-gained some of my gray matter by now…but evidently that is not the case. For those of you who don’t know, my brain does not work as it used to. Details have always been my thing…I am … Continue reading Chemo Brain Strikes Again

In fact, you don’t really know if you will have another, so I believe in celebrating to the fullest. Cake is a must…no diets allowed on birthdays. Singing and candles … Continue reading 75

I got a phone call this morning on my way to work from Hannah. “Hi mom. Just wanted to let you know I am in the hospital.” Before you panic like I did, she is fine. She had a rough night with dysentery and was in considerable pain. She began bleeding and that concerned her … Continue reading Mother’s heart

Bill talked to Hannah today voice to voice. She hasn't gotten her new phone yet, but will have it tomorrow. The main issues so far are heat related. The fan in her room doesn't work, and she doesn't have her mosquito net yet. Sleeping in the heat is difficult with no air stirring. The internet … Continue reading First Days in Ghana

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; If I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, If I settle on the far side of the sea, Even … Continue reading Go
