This, That, and the Other
Often our lives are made up of having a little longing for THIS or being a little offended about THAT or complaining about the OTHER. Being dissatisfied about THIS, THAT or the OTHER. I’m guilty. Sometimes I get myself in a funk because I found a charge on my credit card statement that wasn’t mine.…
Sweet & Tasty Treats
I read that Krispy Kreme celebrated its 85th birthday on July 13th. AND, to celebrate, from July 11th through July 14th, they chose multiple guests each day to receive an 85th birthday card worth a dozen free glazed donuts a month for a year. I’m sorry I missed the big celebration! Well, not really. The…
A Million Dollar Gift
Have you ever thought those thoughts or played that game? When we were in Cabo, Ryan always came up with a subject for us to discuss around the dinner table. One of those times, he asked the question: “If you were given a million dollars, would you give it away or keep it for your…
Dual Citizenship Has Its Privileges
I had an “aha” moment when I handed over my passport at the Mexico customs entry. I was handing over my Rite of Passage going into Mexico and returning to the United States. Having a passport goes way back to my teenage years but taking the time to read the first page of it goes…
Is it Clothes or the Heart That Makes Us?
I saw these “ancient” photos and how stylish and dressed-to-the-nines we were back then. I remembered Mark Twain’s quote: “Clothes make the man! Naked people have little or no influence on society.” I had to laugh at that thought and visual! AND, consider how many almost-naked folks should heed his words! This photo is my…
Got Mountains? Then Scale Them!
I’m back home in my sweet spot. Actually, wherever I am, I call it my sweet spot – because wherever I go, God is right there with me. Even in the doctor’s office. The day before leaving for Cabo, I had my annual physical check-up. Ugh! Lots of questions from my doc and then, she…
The Cleft of the Rock
My last day in Cabo meant my last morning adventure. I executed a new plan this morning. Still dark outside, I drove the golf cart with headlights on as far as I could go before I reached the sandy beach and shore. The sun was just starting to cast its dreamy colors. I heard the…
Happy Birthday to my Sweet Mama
On July 12th, 1911, a star was born. That star was my mama, Edna Pearl (Halbert) Wheat. Today she would be 111. She made it to 94 before heading to her home sweet home in heaven! If anyone deserved heaven and all it affords, Mom did. I know she earned a jeweled crown by lovingly…
Good Times Never End
My inspiring, exotic adventures in Cabo in nearing the end! Basking in the beauty of God’s creation never ceases to amaze me. I’m always grateful to be a part of these experiences where we eat well, enjoy special entertainment places exclusive to this area, laugh at the hilarious antics of my grandchildren, the many ocean…
It’s a Wonderful World
July 2nd was Brennan’s 18th birthday. Valeria, our mayordomo here in Cabo since 2009, has been like a family member since the boys were very young. She prepared Brennan’s birthday meal that was fit for royalty (steak, lobster, and shrimp). And her gift to all of us was Roberto Fiallo, a foremost guitarist who…
