I am happy to report that Jace's PET scan, which he had taken recently, shows that his cancer tumors have reduced in size by 35%! How happy I am for Jace!
My son Tommy had esophageal cancer which metastasized unfortunately. I remember any bit of positive news was so good for his soul. I do highly recommend my followers to share Jace's Instagram account with anyone they might know who is experiencing cancer. His account name is jacebeatscancer.

Today I finished a wonderful book by Richard Paul Evans. It was called "Sharing Too Much" and was a collection of personal essays regarding his life's experiences. You may know him from his small Christmas books. This is a non-fiction publication which is both heartwarming and hilarious. Richard writes in such a simplistic manner and draws his reader immediately into his world.
Do yourself a favor and check it out from your local library or order it from Amazon.

Pastor Russell referred to this as Resurrection Sunday and indeed it was. HE IS RISEN. Since that heartbreaking Good Friday two thousand years ago, the cross has transitioned from a devastating piece of wood to an endearing symbol. Today our beautiful cross was dressed in its floral finery.

A couple of weeks ago a friend and I traveled to Giles County to explore Pulaski and Lynnville, Tennessee. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful, historic area.
On December 25, 1865 in Pulaski, six Confederate Army veterans established a secret society later known as the Ku Klux Klan. These white insurgents were determined to fight against the political advancement of freedmen and of sympathetic whites.
Also occurring in Pulaski in 1838 were two Cherokee detachments, one led by John Bell and the other John Benge. These detachments were part of the infamous Trail of Tears in which many native Americans were removed from their homelands in the southeast states of America to the unsettled land west of the Mississippi River.
Returning home, we stopped in Lynnville, a quaint town with the Colonel Littleton Ltd., an amazing leather goods store, and the Soda Pop Junction, an ole-timey soda shop/restaurant.
It was truly an enlightening day. Tennessee is full of much history.

Everyone I mentioned in my first profile/post has now passed on. Back in October 2009 I thought writing a blog would allow me to express myself as well as learn from those who would follow me. Unfortunately the blog did not come to fruition. My youngest son died from an overdose in 2010, my husband died in 2018 from complications after open-heart surgery and then my oldest son died in 2020 from cancer.
After 14 years, I have decided to try again. I would like to share things that happen in my life whether they are informative, comical, educational or touching. I hope my followers will be encouraged to add to the blog by voicing their feelings in the comments.
I trust by simply sharing thoughts and feelings each of my readers can gain some kind of insight into our wonderful world.
Blessings,
Fran
