clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5562) • Tennessee Ridge, Tennessee 26 Jun

I read with amusement an article in Politico describing President Trump at the NATO Summit. The NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte, called Trump "Daddy" at a press conference. Trump continued to embrace that roll, describing...

Easily Entertained

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5562) • Tennessee Ridge, Tennessee 25 Jun

My brother-in-law makes fun of my husband because Andy Griffith is one of our favorite shows on TV. He says that he and his wife never watch anything twice, but we love the classics. There are a few more modern shows we like, but...

Why I Believe in God

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5562) • Tennessee Ridge, Tennessee 23 Jun

I don't cook a big meal every day. Sometimes we just sandwiches or something light for supper. This evening I decided to surprise my husband with a good homecooked meal when he came home. I got everything cooked and he called on...

Granny's Kindergartener

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5562) • Tennessee Ridge, Tennessee 30 Aug 22

I got to pick up my grandaughter from kindergarten for the first time today. She walked out and her little face was priceless when she saw Granny and Grandpa driving up in the truck to get her. I will never forget that moment.

I finally found my bloomers!

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5562) • Tennessee Ridge, Tennessee 28 Aug 22

Potioid Addict

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5562) • Tennessee Ridge, Tennessee 16 May 19

No it's not a misspelling. My husband has to have his Golden Flake Sweet Heat BBQ potato chips every day if possible, even though he knows they're not good for him. I think many junk foods are just as addictive as cigarettes. Your...

Do Germans Hate Successful People?

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5562) • Tennessee Ridge, Tennessee 26 Apr 17

I think it is disgusting how Ivanka Trump was treated with contempt by the German people after accepting an invitation from Angela Merkel to speak there about women's eunterpreneurship. She was hissed and booed by the audience and...
