JUST LOVE
I had the most precious grandmother who was known for the love she had for everyone. My grandfather was an “Old Time Gospel” Baptist Preacher. He could out-preach the best of them with his “hail, fire and brimstone” sermons. And, my precious polar-opposite grandmother would temper his words by saying, “JUST LOVE”. I still remember…
Back to School Routines
When my community was buying school supplies for children in need, I joined in with them — buying spiral notebooks, crayons, binders, pencils, pens, notebook paper, glue, and other school supplies. It brought back memories of buying school supplies for my own two kiddos — backpacks, lunch kits, and all the essentials from the school’s…
What’s the First Song You Think of With a Color in It?
This post today was prompted by someone’s FB post I saw yesterday. They said, “What’s the first song you think of with a color in it?“ I didn’t respond on the post but my mind started racing with songs with color in them. My first thought was to one of my favorite singers in the…
Jesus Loves Me – This I Know!
Life happens. You hit and fractured your toes when you ran into the end of the door and have to go to the ER. You were attacked by woman-sucking mosquitoes and now you must carry an anti-itch “After Bite” oil for relief. You have to call an Exterminator to get rid of the pests. A…
At Least Take the First Step
In my “No Fear” post yesterday, I shared how proud I was of my granddaughter when we were at Six Flags Over Texas. Against her initial concerns about the wild rides that were there, she conquered her fears and in fact, exceeded our greatest expectations for her. After the first ride (her first step), she…
No Fear! You Only Live Once
It was the yellow Mustang convertible that I would have for a week while my car is being repaired, that energized the idea of the 3-generations (Me, my daughter and granddaughter) to take to the road. “The Road” was only around here in Frisco and over to Arlington TX, but we sure had a “Girls…
If You Stumble — Make It Part of the Dance
I was quite the awkward child and teenager. Oh, how much I wanted to dance, or be on the drill team or be a good athlete — in any sport. But I never pursued or worked at any of those desires. My husband and I took a few ballroom dance lessons to be prepared for…
The Dis-Ease of Busy-ness
This last April, I moved into my home in Frisco. Because I’ve been traveling so much, I haven’t been able to get really integrated into this amazing 55+ community of Del Webb’s Frisco Lakes. Until last week, I hadn’t even been able to attend the newcomers’ Frisco Lakes 101 that gives a great overview of…
It’s Not Always What It Seems and That May Be a Good Thing
From my vantage point, relaxing in my beach lounge, I saw this guy spending a lot of time looking and looking on the beach, then I saw him with some sort of stick and maneuver it all around this certain spot. I just knew he had a metal detector and was moving in on a…
The Fun Favors of God — He Loves to Surprise Us
I texted this photo to my son “How do you like my new wheels?” Then I called and clarified the story to him….and now to you. Last month my car was rear-ended by a way-too-close vehicle, when I slowed coming off the tollway to let a car go by that was coming way-too-fast on the…
