It’s a Computer Miracle!!!
Knowing we were heading out the next day for Beaver’s Bend, OK for a family fishing trip, I knew I had to write/type my daily posts in advance. Thus, this Hoot Suite-driven post today! Aww! Gotta’ love this world of technology that solves so many timing issues. I type the post and Hoot Suite provides…
We Need ANCHOR Stores AND We Need an ANCHOR.
Anchor Store: a department store that is the principal tenant of a mall or a shopping center. When I was buying and moving into my home here in Frisco a year ago, I was elated because a new Wal-Mart was being built within minutes of my home. And since it opened, I can’t begin to…
GONE FISHING
We’re (my Wallace clan and me) heading out this morning for our annual fishing trip, but this year we’re diversifying from the trout camp we went to for years and heading for a fishing hole (or holes) at Beaver’s Bend in Broken Bow, OK. The list of “must take” items that were made by Papa…
Happy Memorial Day!
I live in a 55+ community of almost 3,000 homes and I’ve noticed incredible patriotism throughout on this Memorial Day. American flags are lining the main roadways and most homes have a flag in their yard or on their home. I’m quite sure many of those who live in this community are veterans and/or they…
What Can We Do When This World Steals Our Peace?
My dentist sent me to an Endodontics Specialist for a consultation. BTW — endodontics means dealing with the dental pulp AKA, in my case, a potential root canal. This was a new experience for me because my wonderful dentist in Tulsa was more than a general dentist — he performed all the “specialist” procedures also…
Back and Forth — Embracing the Past and Gearing up for an Amazing Future!
In usual “Wallace” fashion, we went to the opening night of the new Star Wars “Solo” movie. Indeed we are “star” struck with Star Wars, but, I’ll admit, during the movie, I whispered to my daughter, “What’s the matter with me? This isn’t at all like one of my Hallmark movies! LOL!” Believe me, it…
Audacious, Unwavering Trust! I Want to Live Like That!
We’ve all been part of coaxing our little one to take that first step “Trust me! I won’t let you fall!” Or that little new swimmer-in-training “Let go of the wall! I’ve got you! Trust me!” Or that high flyer when Daddy says, “Jump! Trust me!” Those walk-of-faith, swim-of-faith and leap-of-faith times mean the child…
Oh That I Had Wings Like a Dove
Tuesday morning, I read this scripture, Psalm 55:6 “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.” That reading about a dove prompted me to hasten out my back door to check on the Mama Dove, who had nested above my fireplace vent. The last I checked…
Graduates — Oh the Places You Will Go!
I have thoroughly enjoyed all the graduate photos and accolades that you moms and dads, friends and family members have been posting. No question — Graduation Day is exciting, sweet and, oftentimes, combined with fear and trepidation about what the future holds. “Where are they going? What are they going to do? Where am I…
Well…Bless Your Heart
I’m called a typical “southern girl” because I speak those words quite often when someone is sharing their concerns or difficulties with me. It rolls off my tongue like water off a duck’s back. But when I say those words “Bless your heart”, I sincerely mean them, because I’ve had a broken and aching heart…
