God Bless America! Almighty God, We DEPEND on YOU!
It’s the day we’ve been waiting for…..cookouts (in our case, a fish fry — yum), fun, games AND…..fireworks — either man-handling them ourselves, or sitting back and relaxing as we watch the red, white and blue bursts of fire and lights! I have such fond memories of 4th of July celebrations at the Cotton Bowl…
Time is Flying at Breakneck Speed….So What?
A full six months has raced by already this year. Whew! That makes me think about how fast time flies by for me during this season of my life — compared to my youth when the time went by so slowly for school to end for the summer, or until Christmas would finally get here,…
Today “The Champ” Was Born — That’s My Grandson Out There
Twelve years ago today, my husband and I (aka Papa & Nana) were making our way “turbo speed” to Nashville. Our 5th grandchild was about to make his big debut and we were relentless in getting there before he did. And, complying with our hopes and desires, Brennan Keith Wuerch hung on for us to…
When You Pass Through the Waters, I Will Be With You
Over the years, we’ve enjoyed every water feature you could imagine. We frequented the lakes in Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri. And then there was Saddleback Lake in Canada where I officially became a Master Angler when I caught an 8 lb 9 oz Walleye. Mama brought home the fish. Papa had it mounted, and it’s…
Trust Me — I Have a Purpose Here!
With all the “He said. She said” craziness in the news, it makes you wonder “Who CAN we trust these days?” How many times do we get sold a bill of goods and the goods are faulty, broken, or dysfunctional, yet we keep going back to the same merchant or using the same service provider?…
Stir Up Your First Love
As the 50th Wedding Anniversary date (July 8th) of my Sweetheart and I nears, I seem to be “in a remembrance zone”. Dear friends of mine, who are celebrating their 50th year, are doing so by rekindling the love they had 50 years ago by purposefully going on all kinds of romantic and fun adventures.…
Dare to be Bold
Yesterday, my post was about the willingness to get out of our comfort zone. In other words…dare to be BOLD! When my sweetheart passed away, I had to become a take-charge, confident, fearless and BOLD gal. I played the “widow” card for a while and it worked in negotiations for my new home, getting some…
Adventures Await Outside the Port
When you were a kid, did you play the “I Dare You” game? I did. I remember when friends would “dare me” to jump into the deep end of the pool or jump off the high diving board. They were trying to force me to do something that I was afraid to do, but I…
You Light Up My Life
I’ve thought about the impact some special people make in my life (you know who you are), and just by being around you, I feel energized. Your spirit of encouragement is contagious. I can’t be down in your presence because you are such a light — your glow rubs off on everyone you touch. You’re…
What Is It That Makes a House a Home?
My Hyde Park at Tulsa Hills community is one of the stops if you’re checking out the Parade of Homes in Tulsa this week. Four beautiful new houses are being featured — houses with touch faucets, heated bathroom floors, geo-thermal energy features, high-end appliances, and so much more that makes a right-sized house so welcoming.…
