Anita's Adventures: April 2011
http://mylife-experieces.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 16, 2011. My Friend, Mariko. I'm having a hard time writing the continuing story of my friend, Mariko, because of the recent tragedy in Japan. I have so many friends in Japan and don't know how to make contact with them. I'm, of course, praying for them. The story continues after Mariko and her family moved back to Japan. We corresponded occasionally. She was growing spiritually. The phone rang one day, Hedeki's voice was unmistakable! He was in town on business! Are you a Christian?

Sunday, June 19, 2011. What More Could Any Little Girl Want? Through most of my elementary school days it seemed that Daddy was gone away more than he was home. During those years he traveled as an evangelist. As I look back, I remember the warm, secure feeling I experienced when he was home for a few days, after having been gone for two or three months- -a feeling all warm and cozy as I went to bed at night. After all my Daddy was home! What more could any little girl want? Links to this post. I'm 77 ye...

Anita's Adventures: August 2011
http://mylife-experieces.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Lorraine and I are only two and a half years apart in age. We've always been as different as night and day! We didn't look anything alike as children. I had dark hair and she had light hair. We have many memories of our childhood. I've written about some of them in another story here on this blog. Lorraine was going to be a teacher and I was going to be a mother! Lorraine was ambitious and accomplished both goals. It seems that as we've grown older we've also grown alike! What di...

Thursday, July 21, 2011. You Want Me To Do What? Or A Seed Planted. There were a few years, when my children were young, that I took care of other children in my home. One sweet little girl was Laura. Her mother, Shellie, was a single mom, a school teacher and guardian of her own teenage brother, Roger. Shellie brought Laura to my house every morning and picked her up in the afternoon after school. We became good friends, and visited often. One evening I left all my family at home while I went to buy gro...

Sunday, May 22, 2011. My Own Personal Swami. This goes back to the 80's. I had a friend from India named Chandana. I loved her name and I loved her. I've lost track of her over the years and I'm so sorry. First of all he told me all about the wonderful work he was involved in, in India. Chandana reminded him why I was there. He made a critical comment to me about Christianity. I explained to him that Christianity is one of the religions in the world but. He was writing in his own language so I have no id...

Anita's Adventures: October 2012

Sunday, October 14, 2012. One house had a Doberman Pinscher and some geese in the yard. I was very nervous about the dog but didn't bother about the geese. When I was leaving I asked the woman if her dog would bother me She laughed and said, "No, the dog is friendly, it's the geese you need to worry about! A man opened the door and looked at his dog. I was explaining why I was there when he interrupted and asked how I got out of my car! I said I just opened the door and got out. Links to this post. It wa...

Anita's Adventures: February 2011

Monday, February 21, 2011. Do I Have To Cry? I was helping teach adult ESL classes evenings. I worked with the beginners. In the middle of the evening both beginners and advanced classes always stopped for a break. I smiled and asked what church she was attending. He told me the name of a fellowship that is very humanistic. My heart dropped down to my toes and I immediately began praying for her that she would hear the gospel. One day Mariko asked me if I ever teach Bible! A long, straight line was drawn...

Anita's Adventures: Our Oklahoma Chickens
http://mylife-experieces.blogspot.com/2012/10/we-were-living-in-covington-oklahoma.html
Friday, October 12, 2012. We were living in Covington, Oklahoma. I was about seven years old. My family had little money. We moved to Oklahoma so we wouldn't have the huge coal bills we had in Iowa. Daddy traveled all over North America and sent money home to Mother. He was gone weeks at a time. In order to provide meat, for our family of six, Mother decided to raise roosters. She bought 100 cute little yellow chicks. Our garage was changed from a play school to a chicken house! We were in for a surprise!

Anita's Adventures: December 2011
http://mylife-experieces.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 22, 2011. This was written by my dad several years ago. It's a delightful story. Enjoy! It was a cold winter day in Iowa; snow was abundant, bobsleds and cutters (all horse drawn) were everywhere. One such vehicle was gliding recklessly over the icy trail—called by the citizens, of all things, the turnpike—that led from the village to the farm home of Andrew and Rose Williamson. It isn’t everyone that wins his first race, is it? At that moment, the mother of seven! Links to this post.
