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 …
Greenhouse Tomatos
The greenhouse has an abundant supply of tomato plants; I am trying to make that an abundant supply of tomatoes. Back in the spring we started this year’s experiment with tomatoes by purchasing 12 tomato plants. Ten of them are still alive with green tomatoes still turning white to orange to red in the greenhouse … Continue reading Greenhouse Tomatos

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.
