Lessons Learned: A blog about my life

Sunday, June 18, 2017 At church today, while we were in class, Mike’s grandfather asked the teacher if he could tell us some things about his grandson. The teacher said he could take up as much time as he wanted. When Mike’s grandfather was done talking, he asked if anyone had any questions. A man…

Saturday, June 10, 2017 This morning, I took a picture to compare it with the one I had taken yesterday. I tried to take it from the same angle and at the same time of day. I had cleaned up the room, and that’s why the surroundings look a little different. Other than that, everything…

Friday, May 19, 2017 Just before I went off Facebook, I saw a lady named *Holly from my ward who had posted that her youngest daughter was ready for preschool. Since it was so expensive, she asked if anyone wanted to take turns teaching preschool. I had already made a preschool curriculum before I got…

Wednesday, April 19, 2017 When Richard got home from work, he asked me to help him turn on the air compressor. We then went into the garage. He said, “When I say now, turn this switch.” The picture on the left shows a white switch. The picture on the right had wires pulled out and…

Tuesday, April 11, 2017 When we woke up this morning, Richard and I didn’t say much to each other. I wish I knew what was troubling him and why things are so odd between us. Since we weren’t coming back to this motel, I started to pack my things. I put my dress in Richard’s…

Sunday, April 9, 2017 We found a nearby LDS church and went to the meetings. Monday, April 10, 2017 We got up early since we had a long drive ahead of us. As we were driving to our next destination, out of nowhere, Richard said he wasn’t feeling well. He wanted to stop at a…

Monday, April 3, 2017 We had 6 chickens in our backyard. Before getting them, I never knew they could have so much personality. I had named everyone. Even though they looked alike, I knew which one was which. While I was in the kitchen, I could hear the chickens making an awful lot of noise.…

Wednesday, December 14, 2016 Richard and I had Jared come over after work so we could see how to fix our declining relationship. Since I have always been close to Jared, I thought for sure we could work it out. When Jared got to our place, Richard said he wanted to start our meeting with…

Saturday, May 21, 2016 Richard just barely bought a nice bike that’s been sitting in the garage. A few days ago, he bought another that cost a little over $3,000.00, plus all the gear that goes with it. He had promised to help me with some things around the house, but he was excited about…

Monday, January 11, 2016, During December, I have an Elf on the Shelf out for my grandkids when they come over. When we least expect it, the Elf gets into mischief or does something funny. Bladen named him Sam. It’s so cute to see how they react to Sam when he does something silly. I…
