Reminiscent Reflections: …Thrive, Not Survive
http://vwwalker.blogspot.com/2011/01/thrive-not-survive.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. 8230;Thrive, Not Survive. I serve at the Family History Center with some great volunteers. We all chat together on occasion when there are no patrons. One of them, V. Icki, has a husband with five children from a previous marriage. He is from Canada and has roots in England. Before Christmas, she was glad that all of his children and their spouses could visit but she was not looking forward to the work it entailed. I am often reminded of Lin’s definition of a trial.

Wondrous Swish: December 2012
http://tm3walker.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
On Monday, December 03, 2012. I love headphones as much as my wife loves flashlights. And that is saying something. She loves flashlights so much. These headphones sound oh-so amazing. I am listening right now and they occasionally startle me when something in stereo makes a noise just behind and to the left of me. As is the case every time I get shiny new tech, I am listening to all of my favorite songs one after another and they all sound brand new. And I remember borrowing my brother Justin’s Hi...

Wondrous Swish: There’s Always Next Year
http://tm3walker.blogspot.com/2014/03/theres-always-next-year.html
There’s Always Next Year. On Thursday, March 20, 2014. Yep I kept the score book from the tourney. It was kind of a big deal. We had just squeaked by Blackfoot Post 254, our first opponent in the Explorer Olympics, a multi-day summer league tournament that featured the best high school and Church players in southeast Idaho. And we were ecstatic. We had just stolen a game from basically the same team that had taken state during that year’s high school basketball season. The cycle repeated —. I keep lookin...

Wondrous Swish: Neighbors or Family?
http://tm3walker.blogspot.com/2014/08/neighbors-or-family.html
On Monday, August 11, 2014. So about the time we were looking at this sunset on the Gulf Coast of Florida, my phenomenally good neighbor Greg Clark was holding a shovel and looking at a dead skunk in my backyard. The day he and his wife Linda discovered the. So, what kind of neighbor does this kind of stuff? Body The text conversation is on the right:. Sometimes folks just do stuff above and behind the call of duty. It doesn’t take long until you realize that these people are no longer just fri...It̵...

Reminiscent Reflections: . . . Of Change
http://vwwalker.blogspot.com/2011/02/of-change.html
Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Children’s author Emily Perl Kingsley, who is the mother of a child with Down’s Syndrome, captured the essence of what it is like to be living “Plan B” instead of “Plan A.” Her essay is entitled “Welcome to Holland.”. I am often asked to describe the experience of having a child with a disability-to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It’s like this…. 8221; you say. What do you mean Holland? It’s...

Reminiscent Reflections: …of Lessons Learned

Thursday, March 7, 2013. 8230;of Lessons Learned. Then I recalled an incident in Oakley, Idaho in the later ’50s. Hal came home from a service call and I was sitting on the kitchen floor rolling a ball with my oldest child, Lorin. Hal stated it did his heart good to see me playing with him. “Even if the dishes aren’t done? 8221; I asked. 8220;Especially since they aren’t done,” he replied.

Reminiscent Reflections: …of CHW
http://vwwalker.blogspot.com/2013/06/of-chw.html
Tuesday, June 25, 2013. It has been enjoyable reading Clair’s blogs about his first grandchild, Holland Jane Walker (HJW). When our. First grandchild was born, my husband asked a friend at church, “Have I told you about my new grandson? 8221; and the friend (Lewis Ward) said “No, and I appreciate it.” After the laughter subsided, Hal gave him the details of AWW (Austin Wilson Walker), the first of 39 living grandchildren.

They went to look for a farm. He had sold his farm in Grouse Creek, Utah. He found a place in Declo, Idaho. 8221; So he did and I went with him. That was sometime in September and we went...

Reminiscent Reflections: …of Pies
http://vwwalker.blogspot.com/2011/12/of-pies.html
Thursday, December 1, 2011. Harvest time is a time to make pies since there is such a variety of fruits and vegetables. Beginning in summer, there are all kinds of berries, tart pie cherries, rhubarb (also known as pie plant), apricots, peaches, apples, pumpkin and squash—just to name a few! We were given a cookbook as a wedding gift and it had a wonderful recipe for pie crust and apple, cherry, and berry fillings. W. The next time he saw me, he raved about the pie, and then his wife said,. This is my st...
