    •

    Hannah Conway

    When the wedding is over, and the guests go home, married-life starts. Many of my friends, including myself, are or were military wives. We know homecomings, military balls, ceremonies, and mandatory fun events are not the whole of our marriage. These happy times are mixed in with the, well, the…

    I grew up in church. Every Sunday and Wednesday. Summer programs too. And I’m grateful for my upbringing and foundations of faith. Now, I wasn’t the most quiet child during church service. Dad pecked my head a time or two–kept me in line. Kept me from squirming, doodling on the…

    Hannah Conway

    September 11th means many things to Americans–many things we aren’t even able to put into words. It’s been 14 years. Doesn’t seem like it. I’ve often thought it strange that my children cannot remember a time when our country hasn’t been at war, nor do they quite grasp why their…

    •

    Hannah Conway

    Not too long ago, I stumbled on an old diary at a flea market. The journal year? 1888. Wow! What a treasure for a history lover like myself. Of course I bought it, then struggled whether or not to read it. I wouldn’t want a stranger snooping through my journal! Friends…
