Things that are of interest to me

While I was out on my way to decorate my mother's grave I saw two houses that I found to quite interesting if you look closely you can see the door entry is fantastic for this time period. It looks like it belongs in a faerie realm or the dark ages. The house below the first is a house that looks likes it popped out of the Sleeping Beauty fairytale book. It looks like it could belong to the three fairy godmothers that tried to protect Aurora from the wicked fairy Maleficent My mothers' graves sight out by the Vet's Home.   My Dad's grave sight out at Rose Hill in Marshalltown, below is my Aunt Doris's grave sight.it too is located at Rose Hill the woman that did what my mother could not. Labored at raising me and my two younger siblings.  This last one is my grandparents on my Dad's side grave sight it is at Rose Hill  too. All had a hand at who I am today and for that I will be for ever great full. 

This was the house I grew up in, the town that it is in is St. Anthony, Iowa. The house has had some changes to it, but the upstairs window area,was mine and my sisters' bedroom. When I was going up there was know fence. Looking at it is sad in a way to see thew changes that have been done to it. Why a fence in such a small town it makes the friendly house I grew up in look so unfriendly now.  This is a picture of the woods in the back of the house I remember playing in. I had a lot of fun dreaming of being in Sherwood forest. Robin Hood was a childhood hero of mine. I have and still am interested in Kings, Queens, knights  type stuff. Ancient history I enjoy.     This is the area that our neighbors The Eastons' lived. I remember getting together with the neighborhood kids to play a game of softball or kickball in the summer time.  I can also remember building snow forts on the curb of the road to have snowball fights. It was a lot of fun. This...

"I get knocked down but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down!" My mom has had more than her share of knockdowns but she's always stood back up, dusted herself off, and walked forward...even if it meant walking with a limp. She's taught me what it means to be resilient...to be a survivor...to press forward even when the world is pressing back. 57 and she's still growing...pursuing a college education and her dream job. ‪#‎ prouddaughter‬   ‪#‎ mothersday‬

So far I have to do two discussions one on Defining Rural and the other on Rural Social Work and Framework. I have yet to do an Article Summary, the first one I am supposed to research a current event article from the internet that would be an original challenge for a rural community anywhere in the United States. I am to read the article and summarise it by stating the conflict and possible or actual services or agencies that may have been utilized to serve that rural community. At the moment I, a stumped. But I am praying that God will guide me on my quest to get this 3-page summary written. I am claiming the promise that with God all things are possible, and that God will help me with this assignment as well as all the others. later update on this.

Well, I  am about to embark on another journey in furthering my education. I am taking this term  Human Services in Rural Communities. My first two posting will be on Defining Rural and Rural  Social Work History and Framework, plus I will be turning in Article 1 by Sunday at 11:59 pm.I  wanted to go full time but with working the hours I work I find that it is just to much and not  enough  time to get everything done. I am wanting to land a job working with special needs for some  organization somewhere hopefully in Iowa. I am willing to relocate if I have to so I can  obtain my   dream job. I am going to use this as my journal to keep track of what I am learning

This spring I took two classes Communication Leadership and Professional Ethics. Grade for Communication Leadership was a B, I did a lot of writing in that class. A Journal every week and other writing the instructor wanted us to do. It was a challenge in that I am working,and going to College, I am going to college because I do not like  the job I have. I do not want to spend the rest of my life behind a cash register. The number one reason is, I want a rewarding job, working at a cash register is not rewarding for me. Professional Ethics I am going to repeat, It is a required course for  Human Services. I failed that class because  because at BVU online classes do require 15 hours  each to make it through. I already work about 30 hours a week, not because I want to but because I  have to it is hard going to a job that you hate. So I am still going to reach my dream of getting a BA  in Human Services but it will take me a little longer, O...
