Today my sweet friend Angie (Angela) is celebrating her birthday in heaven! I still can’t believe she is gone from earth, after that tragic accident that killed her and her husband David on June 12th, 2010. She was a kind, sweet spirit that touched many, many lives. I pray for her kids all the time [...]

Someday I do hope to see Jesus – my Lord and Savior. But not anytime soon, I hope. The Jesus I want to see soon is the young boy I met last year in Guatemala. You might remember the story I wrote about him here. I have thought of him and prayed for him so [...]

All the Christmas decorations are put up for another year. The house is back to normal once again.  Today we ate a hearty meal of pork roast, cabbage and black eyed peas (blecht!). December always rushes in, on the heels of Thanksgiving, so full of anticipation and excitement as the promise of family time approaches [...]

My sister C has shared the past 9 years of her life with this sweet little guy, Murphy. He came into her life shortly after a divorce, when she was sad and stressed. He showered her with that wonderful unconditional love that only dogs can offer so selflessly. If you are a dog-lover, you know [...]

I was having a particularly bad day yesterday (if you didn’t notice by my post). I was definitely out of patience with so many things in my life. I went to bed very sad and discouraged. I slept poorly – which almost never happens to me. This morning, the first thing I saw when I [...]

My oldest daughter and I had a funny, yet enlightening conversation via text a few days ago. She and I haven’t always seen eye to eye on various issues, as some of you may recall from years past….. so you’ll know how much I appreciate these words from her. (Some of the conversation is overlapped [...]

So right at the moment, I’m in a plane (aisle seat) en route to Austin TX to visit with my friend Shannon for the weekend. I’m in the third row from the front – which means its a long trek thru the plane to the itsy bitsy stinky winky bathroom. This I know because I [...]

Remember last year when my sister Lena and my friend Shannon helped me paint my kitchen cabinets? Every since then, I’ve been thinking of making some little curtains to just add a pop of color to the windows. After spending an extra few days at home sick this week, I was able to get caught [...]

I keep coming here, looking for a new post and its the same old thing… nothing. Oh, guess that’s my fault, huh? A lot has happened in the past fifty-seven years since I last posted. *That person that liked to stir up s*#$ at my office is no longer there. (Praise the Lord, hallelujah!!) *The [...]

This past Sunday afternoon, I took two sleeping bags over to our one little local laundry mat to wash and dry. They are large L.L. Bean bags that require a front loading commercial washing machine which, sadly, I don’t have at  home. I might be interested in purchasing one now though. There was one lady [...]
