I know, this is me being catty, or ratty, or something less than the positive, uplifting person I try to be, but when the truth comes to your mind, sometimes it doesn't always seem so positive, until you live enough of your life to get the context needed (assuming you live that long). The changeable … Continue reading What the sign doesn’t say …

Feeling Alone
(At least, any others made invisible were already invisible when we got there, and so we had never seen them to know that they had been made invisible before we got there.)
False Police Report
I would be a lot better off if I could be vindictive or spiteful, because I have so much to be so about. Pastor Edd Wunderlich of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church is just one more pastor who has taken my loyalty and trust and stabbed me in the back with it. And yet I still … Continue reading False Police Report
Church Inc. is Church Ltd.

"There, dear" I said "is the new pastor of the church (Reverend Rebecca Dunger Peak) heading to … Continue reading “The one thing I am still really irritated at …”

‘Not My Trash’ — and ‘Not My Trash’
At The Rainbow shares a driveway with its northern neighbors, Charles S. and Mary Lee Trnka. The Trnka's are very conscientious people. At The Rainbow is on the uphill side of the shared driveway culvert, and I was told by Charles that whenever the pipe gets blocked it is our fault because the leaves came … Continue reading ‘Not My Trash’ — and ‘Not My Trash’
