Don’t Be Normal. Be Different. Take the High Road.
How “different” are we from what is “normal” to others? Some say that “It’s NORMAL to be stressed, fearful, overwhelmed, exhausted, angry, sad, speaking hateful about people, and on and on. “Normal” to some is ranting and raving right along with all those who are dissatisfied with politics and politicians. My contention is that “normal”…
Barring a Miracle
Did you ever have someone say that to you about a medical condition, financial situation or personal relationship? Barring a miracle, you’ll have only 6 months to live; barring a miracle, you’ll have to declare bankruptcy; barring a miracle, a divorce is imminent. I heard a minister say that when he and his wife were…
Doing the Right Thing
After 18 years as a Real Estate Broker, today, I will be completing my Real Estate Broker-in-Charge requirements for another 3-year term. My sweetheart had over 30 years under his belt when he went to heaven. After obtaining my initial R/E Associate License, he urged me to obtain my Broker’s license to further assist him…
SHEER Fish-ness!
It’s good to be back home, but our home away from home was AWESOME-ness with SHEER Fish-ness over the last several days. Hootsuite, an app to use to schedule Facebook posts, sure made me look like I was really trying to get a message across…. emphatically, as it reposted Sunday’s post about 8 times (one…
Gone Fishing – Gone Home
I don’t endorse too many places just because my experience may not be your experience, but for years we’ve come to Marvel Family Trout Camp. And, sincerely, it is a little piece of heaven on earth, but that depends on what your “heaven” might look like. Like I said earlier, we call it the “Red…
Gone Fishing – Day 2
For the guys in their cabin, it was up and at ‘em at 4:45 am. Then, off they went to stake claim on our patch of “holy” ground below the dam of Lake Tenkiller where we’d hang out with other ambitious and die-hard fishermen until the horn bellowed that the dam’s water gates would open…
GONE Fishing!
Another gift Payton received for his birthday was “going fishing”. He got to bring a friend with him this time. Before, it was Papa and I taking him and Lexi fishing to our favorite fishing spot, Marvel Camp in Gore, OK. And that’s where we came yesterday. Larry and the boys are in one of…
Who’s Your Neighbor?
Remember the really cool dude that greeted us daily on TV, Mr. Rogers? Today, he’d have to come packaged as a rapper or be able to hip hop dance for us to think him “cool”. BTW — the word “cool” is still in — I checked! Mr. Rogers sang this to us: “It’s a beautiful…
Hidden Treasures
Upon my return from Texas, I went to see Mom. I know she loves getting the latest news about all the family and I use my visual aids (my cell phone’s photos) to describe it all. I had lots of photos from Payton’s 16th birthday celebrations to show her, that she loved. She played baseball…
We Believe!
We Believe! We love our OKC Thunder basketball team and they had a great season this year, but the Golden State Warriors are having an even better season. The Thunder fell one game short of making it to the NBA Finals because of the Warriors, but there’s always next year for a rebound! We Believe!…
