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 [...]

My dad left us three years ago, in the blink of an eye. No illness, no accident, no warning whatsoever – a massive heart attack that took him in an instant. I think of him almost daily now  – probably more often than I did when he was alive, if the truth be told. That [...]

I simply adore this photo of my mother, circa 1957. (I’m guessing….my parents were married in 1958 and seems like I remember her telling me this was taken while they were dating.) I love her dress and how tiny her waist looked! She just looks so elegant – like a movie star! And look at [...]

My brother-in-law and his family had this big dog named Brody – who loved to sniff Luby when she was young. I think you can see a little tip of his tongue sticking out as he was either licking her or licking his chops! He could never quite figure out what to think of her [...]

I was looking through photos of my Dad this weekend and ran across a bunch of my daughters when they were little. I thought I’d share a few over the coming weeks. It’s always fun to look back at how fast they’ve grown! Beebo on the left and Luby on the right. Three year old [...]

(I’m the oddball blonde, sitting on my Mom’s lap and that’s Lena just to the right.) My dad died two years ago today. It is still so hard to believe sometimes.

I spent the first quarter of my life lost. We didn’t grow up in church but as a teen, I attended with different friends. I’d sit there at times and wonder who the preacher was talking to…. surely not ME. I didn’t even belong there! (or so I thought) I tried to stay under the [...]

Junior – Senior Prom 1985 You can tell by the big hair that this is from the mid-80′s huh? I am not in this photograph because I graduated in 1984 but…. that cutie pie on the far right is none other than my darling husband, Mr. Lucky. Just in front of him, in the white [...]

When I was a little girl, my mom told me that these giant walls of rock that were cut out for the roads to go through were actually stair steps for the Jolly Green Giant to use. (This particular picture is just one step, whereas sometimes the steps are two or three levels high, cut [...]

Every time I am using an ice cream scoop, I think of my Granny. My Dad and Granny, August 2001 When we were young, she lived about an hour away from us and I’d sometimes go spend a week with her during our summer break from school. She lived in a very rural area and [...]
