Ready or Not — Here Comes Change!
Change: to make (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone Speaking of CHANGES…..I was born and raised in Dallas when there were still trolleys here. Yikes! Trolleys stopped running in the 50’s — a hint just how old this ole’ gal is. I remember those rides with…
The Perfect Date or BORING!!
Perfect Date — being entirely without fault or defect : flawless; satisfying all requirements, accurate. When my daughter and I were posing for this photo, we meant it to be funny, and it is, but I started giving it more thought. Here are two women with two men who don’t see us or speak to…
Comfort Blanket Helps Lead Loyola University to the Sweet Sixteen
Since I posted a few days ago about THE COMFORTER, I’ve had two more occasions to reinforce what I was saying.

My parents were wise in that “church” was our “go to” place for friendships, worshiping God, hearing His Word, AND in my opinion – the best place EVER to hang out with my girlfriends and…
St. Patrick Knew Who He Belonged To
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I know, like other religious holidays, this is another “watered….er’ beered down” day when we get distracted from the true meaning of this day, but, just in case you may not know, I want to honor St. Patrick by sharing who this man was. He was born around AD 389 in…

My Comforter is One of my Favorite Things
My Comforter is One of my Favorite Things My word of the day is COMFORTER: a thick bed covering that is filled with a soft light material; also someone who helps you to feel less worried, upset, frightened; someone who comforts you. I do a lot of traveling and that means sleeping in beds that…
