GONE Fishing!
Another gift Payton received for his birthday was “going fishing”. He got to bring a friend with him this time. Before, it was Papa and I taking him and Lexi fishing to our favorite fishing spot, Marvel Camp in Gore, OK. And that’s where we came yesterday. Larry and the boys are in one of…
Who’s Your Neighbor?
Remember the really cool dude that greeted us daily on TV, Mr. Rogers? Today, he’d have to come packaged as a rapper or be able to hip hop dance for us to think him “cool”. BTW — the word “cool” is still in — I checked! Mr. Rogers sang this to us: “It’s a beautiful…
Hidden Treasures
Upon my return from Texas, I went to see Mom. I know she loves getting the latest news about all the family and I use my visual aids (my cell phone’s photos) to describe it all. I had lots of photos from Payton’s 16th birthday celebrations to show her, that she loved. She played baseball…
We Believe!
We Believe! We love our OKC Thunder basketball team and they had a great season this year, but the Golden State Warriors are having an even better season. The Thunder fell one game short of making it to the NBA Finals because of the Warriors, but there’s always next year for a rebound! We Believe!…
Remembering to Remember
Yesterday was Memorial Day and I couldn’t help but notice all the photos of tombstones on FB that represent fallen soldiers. I also saw many FB posts and photos that were honoring loved ones who served in the armed services, as well as to those loved ones who were so dearly loved and remembered on…

What Color Is Your Angel?
Staci and I were getting out of the car at the store, when Staci ran over to a nearby parked car. One of the ladies was getting out all the tools needed to change a flat tire, while the other lady was looking at a YouTube video telling how to do it. (LOL! Thank God…
And the Celebrations Continue…..
Blame it on my husband and I…..way back in the beginning, we made the celebration of our birthdays bigger than any other day of the year. After all, that’s the day God made us so we rejoice and are so glad for it….not just for a day, but oftentimes, for the week and in more…
What are Your Credentials?
My sweet BFF, Sheila Michie, is shout-from-the-mountain proud of her son AND his new credentials, M.D. (Doctor of Medicine). He earned that title and suffix after his name, following many years of hard work, intense training, preparation, and much effort! Joseph worked hard for the right to place them next to his name. and along…
The Sweet Sounds From a Tuned Piano
SURPRISE!!! Happy Birthday, Payton! Yesterday was my #3 grandson’s (in order of birth-dates) 16th birthday. That morning, I sent him a text that said, “I wish I were there to celebrate your birthday today, but we’ll make up for it while we’re fishing next week!” So, it was a big surprise when he came home…
