So Much Heaven-on-Earth Packed Into One Day
On Saturday, Bryson and I started with breakfast at Ollie’s – a Tulsa family favorite since our first grandson was born 26 years ago. Of course, we had to make some memories there – so many trains running around the walls of the restaurant along with train memorabilia everywhere. When my oldest grandson came to…
Take the Leap of Faith
Hanging with my sweet grandson always leads to talking about animals — after all, he has 32 animals of his own. Seems we integrate some kind of animal story into just about every conversation. After all, I’ve dubbed him the “animal whisperer” because all of those critters seem to calm in his presence. I heard…
Worry FREE – Guarantee!
How is it possible to NOT WORRY in these days and times? “Don’t Worry???” You may be saying “That’s easy for you to say — you’re not facing what I’m facing today.” Perhaps not the exact challenge or situation, but I’ve known troubles and I’ve had plenty of reasons to worry. And, out of those…

This is Where the Best of Me Came From

Go Ahead. Judge a Watermelon By Its Cover!
Watermelon is my favorite summer fruit. It’s amusing to watch people thumping on watermelons trying to find the best one. I could never nail that sound. But HOLD ON Mr. Watermelon Thumper! I finally aced my watermelon sweetness picks. Here’s the real deal on picking the sweetest watermelon: ~ Make sure it has a prominent…
Predictable or Unpredictable
Ever since my grandson, Payton (now 18), was just a little guy he’s loved playing the piano. It started with my husband who could play anything but loved Christian music and jazz. “Little” Payton jumped on the piano bench to plunk out notes while Papa played. The first song Papa taught him was “Chopsticks”. He…
