TIME OUT WITH LOIS: Car history, trip preparedness and love

Published on Fri, 07/08/2016 - 4:45pm

Our grandchildren are going to be ecstatic with their Grammi. They loved Tillie the Taurus, which we got in 1992 for my ministry car. When they got to go along they begged to sit in the rear seat, which faced backwards! When her mileage reached 180K, we happily traded her for a newer Taurus wagon and eloquently named her Tillie II.

TIME OUT WITH LOIS: Readers weigh in on trials of lawn mowing

Published on Fri, 06/24/2016 - 4:30pm

This week we will open the “Time Out Mailbag” from you, our readers. Remember I wrote about my trials with mowing our lawn? I still believe He-Who-Takes-Long-Steps is up in heaven petitioning God to send a special delivery angel to watch over his treasured mower.

Happy times are coming to our place. Our grandson Justin is getting married here this weekend. He said “My favorite place since I was little was at Papa Bud and Gram’s ranch in their back yard looking at the Crazy Mountains.”

TIME OUT WITH LOIS: Traveling a path alone, but one that’s filled with other travelers

Published on Fri, 06/03/2016 - 3:21pm

The path I am traveling alone on now is filled with other travelers, if that can make sense to you. This is day 34 for me on this path. The reason I know I am not alone is because I have heard from so many of you who are also in my shoes. Some recently, like my mom, and for others it has been weeks, months, or years.
