Veterans’ Day Shout Out

A shout out on Veterans’ Day to all our veterans.  Thanks for your service!   In particular, a salute to Les Frey.  He died about 2 months ago at age 99.   As far as I know, he was our last World War 2 vet.  Les loved to get you in a conversation and tell you stories.   […]

Stimulating Giving

Most of us will be receiving another stimulus payment. For some, the financial needs likely surpasses the money.  For others of us, like myself, we are doing fine and do not need that money to pay bills. As someone trying to be a good steward of my resources, it gets me pondering what to do […]

Sanctuary Carpet Removal Part 2

With their scraper machine, carpet removal went fast.   You can see the scraper machine in the back by the open door.   Some of you remember writing your names on the cement floor before the carpet was installed 30 years ago.   I couldn’t see any signatures because either the glue is thick or the cement was […]
