S.O.S.Time to Slow Down
My dear Tulsa friend often sends me emails that include hilarious photos, statements, and stories that give me comedic relief. I loved this one from a few days ago:S.O.S.“An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with Tempo Mach 2…
Happy Thanks-giving and Grateful for Thanks-Living
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so thankful for YOU! I’m thankful you’re my friend, family member or casual acquaintance, but the fact that you may read my daily blogs from time to time, humbles me, and encourages me to keep on doing what I know God called me to do. THANK YOU for your love! I’m so…
Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater
I was stoked to take a delicious pumpkin cake roll swirled with cream cheese to my family in Austin. I had purchased one before and my guests and I loved it. But, not in the case with my Austin crew. There aren’t pumpkin eaters around there, but there sure are a lot of pumpkins. The…
Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
The pandemic has kept me from my family and friends in Tulsa. I miss them all, including my “besties”, Charles (Mick) & Sheila Michie. Usually, when I went to see them, I made sure it wasn’t on Friday mornings because that’s their day of being the hands and feet of Jesus to those who need…

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…
Happy Birthday, Mom! You Sure Make Me Want to Up My Game!
Today is my sweet mother-in-law’s 94th birthday. It’s such a good time to express my love and gratitude for her — especially because if it weren’t for the love that she and Dad had for each other, then their precious gift of their son to me would never have been. Mom’s life represents my life…
The Yellow Rose of Texas
These are my yellow roses — the season openers — spectacular in fragrance and beauty! I was my Sweetheart’s “Yellow Rose of Texas”. So, it made sense that our wedding color was yellow, and the flowers we chose were yellow roses. In every home we lived in – we always planted yellow roses as a…
