Gill is back to wish us all a happy amusement park season. If you’re heading out to enjoy some fun over the next few months, hopefully you don’t wind up suffering the same fate as any of these poor folks. We need readers. We also care about your safety. Yes, we most definitely care about […]

In Memory Of Grandma
Gill has a few words about her grandmother on the anniversary of her death. Doris Mildred Jean MacMurchy-Hewgill Aug. 31 1923-June 22 2003. Thoughts In Asian cultures the grandparents are placed in high regard, but here in the west elders are often pushed aside in favor of more modern thinking. If we just took a […]
Fearing The Yucky Stuff
Gill is thinking about stuff she didn’t like as a kid, particularly as it relates to beach season. The sand part I understand since it can be really hot and it gets into and sticks to everything, but grass? That’s interesting. Depending on where you are in the world, you might be heading into or […]
My Quandary
Update: Well, the decision has been made. On July 31 I’m taking mom for breakfast. We’re going to a place called the Orchid. She is always saying the most complimentary things about it and it kind of takes me back to when I would eat there Sundays after church when I was a teenager with […]
Be Careful, Part Three
And now, the last part of Gill’s hospital story. I spent the better part of three days in the hospital, and in that time I had some visitors. One was the friend who took me to the revival, the others were people who had kind of adopted me as their “daughter.” Thursday and Friday I […]
Be Careful, Part Two
Here’s Gill with part two of her hospital stay. She’s slowly getting back to normal, which is nice. When I left you guys, I was riding an ambulance speeding toward a hospital. When I got there I spent a good two-and-a-half hours laying on a gurney in the hall waiting for a room to come […]
Be Careful, Part One
Gill is back to tell us about her recent medical misadventure, or at least part of it. You can tell she’s still not quite right by the way this ends. We certainly wish her a speedy recovery. Recently I had a health scare that got me to thinking about things. I will explain how in […]
The Strange Things We Dream Of
I need to get better about writing down the dreams I actually remember, like the one where a group of burglars was trying to climb our building so Carin built a giant slingshot and used those biscuits that come with Popeyes Chicken to shoot them down. Every time she fired she’d gleefully sing the little […]
Pizza And An Education
Sounds like Gill’s Sunday was a bit of a mixed bag. Today I went with a large group of people from my church to a local pizza place. We were raising funds for a trip the young people are taking to Wisconsin. The party was to start at one, but most of the people who […]
I Probably Shouldn’t Say This
Don’t let the fact that you had records as a child make you feel old, Gill. Vinyl is big business now. If your family had an 8-track collection like mine did, let that make you feel old instead. Next October I hit a milestone when I turn 40, which has me feeling old lately. Here […]
