Questions and Answers January 25, 2023
“It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.” – James Thurber Isn’t that a great quote? As a reader and a writer, I understand the need to have questions answered. So Many Questions, so Few Answers! We all begin reading a book with many questions. What is this about? […]
Be Prepared – A Reminder November 30, 2022
Much of the following blog was written in 2020, but it could have been written this week. The message resonates now with just as much meaning as back then. It was an ordinary Monday in an extraordinary year when a tree beside our house was struck by lightning. It was scary. The entire house shook […]
With Every Goodbye, You Learn – Reprise November 9, 2022
On a cold day in 2018, my daughter asked me if she could write my blog that week. When she told me her idea about temporary people and why she wanted to write it, I was amazed by her insight, wisdom, and faith. I was even more amazed when I read her words. Many times […]
Friends In Real Life October 12, 2022
If there’s anything I cherish as much as I love and cherish spending time with my family, it’s spending time with friends. I think it’s something that people today don’t appreciate enough. When one can brag about having close to 1000 friends on Facebook, and the number of followers on Instagram is more important to […]
Christmas in Buffalo Springs October 5, 2022
A few years ago, I was toying with the idea of writing a book about a former female Navy SEAL. I didn’t know her name or her story, but bits and pieces were beginning to come to me. I couldn’t find any direction and didn’t feel like the character was talking to me as I […]
The Love of a Husband September 28, 2022
When I had my first child, my mother and grandmother stayed at the house to help me. I don’t know what I would have done without them. My husband couldn’t get off from work, and I would have been on my own. Here we are, twenty-six years later, and I’ve taken up the mantle and […]
Ready to be a Grandmother. Or am I? September 21, 2022
Any day now, possibly by the time this goes to print, I will be a grandmother. For the past nine months, I have marveled at how I could be a grandmother already. It seems too soon. I’m excited, but I don’t feel ready. I don’t have enough life experience yet. I’m still busy screwing up […]
Perfect Poultry Pot Pie September 14, 2022
It’s that time of year when I start thinking about good, old-fashioned comfort food. The air is beginning to feel a bit chillier, the days are getting noticeably shorter, and my youngest has already been away at school for an entire month. When I’m planning my weekly menu this time of year, my shopping lists […]
When a Patio is More Than a Project September 7, 2022
It has been a quiet summer here at the homestead. Other than Rebecca’s baby shower, we haven’t had many people over, which is not normal for a Schisler summer! Last spring, our backyard movie screen came down in a windstorm, and we haven’t figured out how to put it back up since it took the […]
Lessons From the Sea August 31, 2022
Our family has always had a fascination with sea glass. Though we spend more time in the mountains, and I’ve never been a beach person, we love walking along the shoreline, searching for brightly colored pieces of time. It’s a peaceful, calming act in a world of noise and chaos. That was how we spent […]
