My Adventure with Dentures – Part Four

It’s been quite a journey over these past three weeks,,,Getting my remaining ten teeth extracted and beginning the process of getting used to life with dentures. I had no idea what the “denture life” would be like. It’s been difficult to learn how to eat all over again. There’s a huge difference between eating withContinue reading “My Adventure with Dentures – Part Four”

My Adventure with Dentures – Part Three

What I considered to be the most difficult part of the process was over and done. I had ten teeth extracted and upper and lower dentures put in place. The rest should be a cakewalk, right?

My Adventure with Dentures – Part Two

The decision had been made that I would have my remaining teeth pulled and the same day, receive a set of dentures. The day for surgery had come.

Today I traveled to those areas to see what possibilities of service there were and the sights that I sawContinue reading “Visit to the Frontlines…”

It’s Been a While…

I had told myself I’d write one-hundred days on this blog and well, have fallen through again. While I write most every day in my journal, I have found it difficult to sit down at the keyboard and put my thoughts together. I guess I could just copy what I’ve written in my journal, butContinue reading “It’s Been a While…”

Cultural Heritage

I am most interested in the parts of my ancestral heritage that were involved in ministry. I am aware that several ancestors down the line were Lutheran ministers. I’ve done some research on their service in the ministry, finding that one helped found the local university I attended and received two degrees from. I justContinue reading “Cultural Heritage”

Tick-Tock Goes the Clock

I recently was rearranging some things in my house and moved a old clock from the living room to the bedroom. In the process, the grandfather clock started ticking and continued to do so for nearly three days. The grandfather clock was one that belonged to my maternal great grandfather. It needs to be woundContinue reading “Tick-Tock Goes the Clock”
