http://lisa-musingsofamiddle-agedmom.blogspot.com/2013/03/mental-health-walk.html
Musings of a Middle-Aged Mom. Thursday, March 14, 2013. As I was digging through folders of photos looking for the ones of the Greek Orthodox Church, I came across these pictures from the mental health walk. This walk was that very same weekend.

I know that November and December were difficult because of Butch's death. But what about the rest of the fall? So this yea...

Musings of a Middle-Aged Mom. Friday, July 31, 2015. Fourth of July in the Preserve. So, it rained on the fourth. Lots of rain. But it stopped right around the time for me to set up . . but the humidity must have been 99.8% - I was dripping! So this is how the inside of the town hall was decorated. We have a nice town hall! One of the events is a parade - you can decorate your bikes, trikes, golf carts, little bitty cars - anything you want and they drive around the neighborhood. Last year, they had LOTS...

Musings of a Middle-Aged Mom. Friday, August 7, 2015. Take Me Out To The Ballgame . . .or the Fireworks! In a mental health walk. Regions Field is just down the street. They have made this a very nice area and my daughter and I felt pretty safe - yes, I said "pretty safe" - walking a couple of blocks. I wouldn't want to walk it by myself. Laura's friends gave us their tickets and as you can see, we had primo seats! Of course, we had to have a hot dog - what is a baseball game without a hot dog? I know th...

http://lisa-musingsofamiddle-agedmom.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Musings of a Middle-Aged Mom. Thursday, January 29, 2015. Everybody's got a water buffalo. Back when our nephews were just wee little boys, one of them heard the veggie tale water buffalo song and he WANTED a water buffalo. He said, "Everyone else has a water buffalo, I want a water buffalo! Similar to the lyrics). As families often do, we picked up on that line - "everyone else has one. I want one! There is a farm right outside the city limits of Columbiana . . .and they have. I know they are bison, the...

Musings of a Middle-Aged Mom: Come on over and sit a spell!

Musings of a Middle-Aged Mom. Friday, July 24, 2015. Come on over and sit a spell! Since I work in a church, we don't close the office for lunch. We either pick up take outs or we bring our lunch and we all sit around in a big (or small) circle and eat together and chat. We stop and work when necessary. While we were eating today, Suzanne said, "how about if we all go out to eat one night and then come over to your house for a tour! I said, "come on over! Come on and I'll show you! These wicker rockers c...

At Trinity, we have the most amazing ministry (we actually have a lot of amazing things but this one affects my job a lot! We have a group that we lovingly call, "The Joseph Ministers." I went to Wikipedia for a short description so you might understand. They do this because they love God, they love His church, and they want to serve where they are gifted. A couple of months ago, after our umpteenth funeral, I asked the ...
