Inspired by a little-known picture book from the pen of Bethany Tudor, this is a diary, of sorts, where I document some of my thoughts, activities, and ideas as I explore the challenges met by the characters in the story: hard work, the care and nurture of others, housekeeping skills, life changes, charity, community, and cooperation, among others. Like Samuel and Samantha, the ducks in the tale, I struggle and succeed, cope and celebrate, work and play, handling the tasks that come my way. I invite you to join me on my journey.

Happy Birthday, Mom

Just a quick post to wish my mother a “Happy Birthday.” Born in 1931, she is one of only two children born to Edward and Leon Henkel in Mechanicsville, Iowa. Her brother is five years younger, and born on January 11th. Great birthday present, don’t you think? I hope you enjoy the gift I sent for 2007. Have a great day. I love you!
