Happy Independence (Birth)Day!: Part 1
Purity had a splitting headache. She had taken some medicine awhile ago, but the pain persisted. She fell onto her bed with a slight “UGH!” and tried to bury her head under the pillows. “What’s wrong Purity?” asked Bea. Bea was the younger of the two and always inquisitive. “My headache won’t go away…” moaned…
Nearly to the Next Thing
Dearest Bea, I don’t have to remind you, you’ve got a ways to go. But you’ll be driving soon and hopefully, that will help. I hope your big sister has shown you how to do a few things, like use the DMV online testing site and how to access our website. You have probably been…
Nearly There
Dearest Purity, You are getting closer and closer to the next chapter of your life. Your birthday story is looking good! I spent some time on it at lunch today. Nothing else too exciting: got my hair trimmed. Hair is still red. A boy came by yesterday to ask if he could repaint the address…
What if You Chose This…
Today is going to be a crazy day! I have so many appointments. It starts with the Farmer’s Market early this morning before it gets too hard. I’m going to be going and going until after 9pm. But I chose this! I prefer to pack a day of appointments into one day rather than spreading…
Gearing Up for the Gunfight
The Sketchyscribe is coming at you LIVE from Lil’s Saloon in Calico Ghost Town. It’s kinda quiet around here today. A few folks from other countries walking around. But I actually have the saloon all to myself. And you know how it is – the quiet before the storm… I’m surrounded by pictures on the…
Tell Your Sister What You Dream For…
Dearest Bea, Today, I went and applied for the car loan. I have been approved AND they gave me a check that I can use to purchase my car. So phase two (AKA – Help Bea Exit) is already underway. I hope you don’t think that I’ve forgotten about you. You are so close to…
Are You Dreamin’ Bout Me?
Dearest Purity, I dreamt about you this morning. It always happens in the morning. We were in a Hebrew class together. Lots of Christians are learning Hebrew these days. I don’t know if you identify yourself that way. As long as you believe in something, that will help you. Anyway, we were sitting right next…
Turning up the Heat
I still have a little less than a month before school starts, but I need to help Grandma with some things today. She needs her car smogged and she wants it to have an annual tune up. I also bought her a chrome book, so we need to get her hooked up online. I have…
Wanna Come to a Barbecue?
I’m so excited! Another housewarming gift came today. My friend/optometrist sent me a brand new crock pot! I’ve never had one. Now, I can make Irish beef stew and homemade Barbecue brisket! Yum! I’m feeling so spoiled. I can’t use it tonight unfortunately because you must cook things in it for 4-5 hours before you…
