From Grandma Dohn’s Bulletin Board

Be Like Marley
Thursdays are special. Thursdays are my daughter’s day off. This means the grandkids are available. I’ve made it a point since they were born to make sure they know and have a loving relationship with my father, their great grandpa A.K.A. “Pop”. They are his only two great grandchildren. So, every Thursday with very few…
Back to Grandma Dohn’s Bulletin Board
We’re back to Grandma’s bulletin board for some more eternal wisdom. On August 27th, I returned to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio to a second long term temporary position working in the COVID testing site. (See my post titled “Connections/The World Really is That Small” for my story about working there. If ever this tiny…

As a child I remember going to Grandma & Pop’s house for dinner on Sunday and then watching Disney. What an absolute treat. As my generation grew up the great grandchildren…
Grandma Dohn’s Bulletin Board (2)
We are still enjoying Grandma’s bulletin board. Today we are looking at a piece titled “Morning Prayer.” There is no author noted and the words and message are pretty simple and straight forward. Read this as often as you need. Peace, Love, and knitting. Amy Morning Prayer When little things would irk me, and I…

When it came time to move into the city from our 6.25 acres in the country, we bought my grandparent’s house. My grandma had entered the hospital for some surgery. There were complications that prevented the surgery. While she was in the hospital my grandpa moved them into a retirement home. Yep, Grandma left her…
