Boggs Memorial Day 2026

 Hey Friends,

We had a wonderful day with the Boggs family yesterday. We spent the day visiting, eating and celebrating Papaw’s upcoming birthday.

 Also, there was a trip to Miami Cemetery in Corwin, Ohio. This is a family tradition on Memorial Day. 

Today I have lots of photos from several sources. I hope you enjoy! 

Thanks for reading. See you back here tomorrow.

Honoring And Remembering On Memorial Day

 Hey Friends,

 

Happy Monday, I hope you have a wonderful week. In the United States of America, this is a special day. This day is known as Memorial Day. 

Oftentimes, family and friends gather for a cookout and fun. All of that is wonderful. I cherish my family time. 

We also set aside time to remember our loved ones who have passed away. They are deeply missed! We visited their graves and decorate them. 

The cemeteries always prep for Memorial Day. They have everything looking nice. This year we have had nonstop rain, so the mud is bad everywhere. 

The main reason we "celebrate" Memorial Day is to honor our soldiers who gave their lives for our country. They are all heroes, and need not be forgotten! The freedoms we enjoy are because of their selfless sacrifice!! "Many gave some, but some gave all!"

I pray God's blessings and comfort on any family members left hurting today! We appreciate your sacrifices as well!

On this day, I pause to say, thank you to our heroes! My thanks is heartfelt because of the brave men and women we get to live in America! So as we enjoy family time today, my heart is honoring and remembering why we have a Memorial Day. 

Thank you for reading.

Sunday Sanity 5/24/26

 Hey Friends,

Good morning! It is a great day to serve the Lord. We are going to church at DRPC. I am looking forward to a great day. 

Here is this week's nugget of sanity.

Pastor Philip Hoskins made this statement during a testimony during a revival service. 

 “Great praise is not based on great circumstances. It is based  a great Lord!"

No matter what we go through in life. God is always great, and deserves our highest praise!

See you tomorrow.

Happy Birthday To My Little Sis Ali

 Hey Friends,

Happy Birthday, Ali Elizabeth Boggs! I love you, Ali Beth. 

39 years ago my little sister was born. I am thankful to be a big sister. I proudly hold the title of Big Sister. 

We only got to have Ali here for a few hours. Then God called for her to come back home. 

On this special day, I try to remember my beautiful sister. We visited the cemetery earlier this week. Ali Elizabeth Boggs 5/23/87-5/24/87

I hate that we did not get to enjoy life together. I dream of the things we would have experienced. I long for chats with my sister.  

Heaven so much sweeter. I look forward to the day we reunite forever. We will never have to part. It makes my heart happy to know Dad and Ali are together. 

Until that day I will keep longing, waiting and praying.  Thanks for reading.

Columbus Ohio Zoo May 2026

 Hey Friends,

We have been trying to get a trip in to the Columbus Zoo for weeks. Either our schedule or the weather did not work out for us to go. 

Monday ended up being the day. We had the day available on our calendar, and the weather was nice. It was a very HOT day, but it felt good to be outside. 

I love visiting the animals. The zoo is one of my favorite things to do. Columbus offers a great zoo.  Mom and I have visited lots of zoos over the years. This is one of our favorites. 

Monday, we met Uncle Danny and Aunt Jeanna Morgan for the day at the zoo. It was great to spend the day with them, too! We had lots of fun. 

Here are some of the pictures we captured. I hope you enjoy a virtual trip to the zoo today.
