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…
The Feather: A Symbol of High Honor
Yesterday, I was drawn again to all the geese that abound in my community. Not before the last couple of days did I notice so many of their feathers all around the grounds. I gathered enough molten feathers for a feather bouquet. My research found that Native American culture believes that all things possess an…
She Opens Her Mouth with Wisdom
I’m still in Austin — was planning only a few days, but when I was needed for a project, I stayed a few days longer. Then, I was leaving on Thursday, but my precious son, in a stance that reminded me of him as a little boy, said, “Mommy, would you please stay for Mother’s…

I have little time to scroll through my FB timeline, but when I do, I often get a bright idea for my next blog. I saw a post a few days ago and it inspired me to keep telling stories of my past. Even though my listeners and readers may yawn at yet another one…

A Treat for 97 Years
This morning, I’ll be heading to Tulsa to celebrate Mom and her 97th Birthday! It’s truly a day of celebrating – not just a mother-in-law, but a dear friend, mentor, and mother. God brought this precious treat to us on October 31st, 1922. I’m sure He had a hand in her being named “Lydia” which…
Just Taking it All in
I’m an “all in” kind-of-gal. I’ll admit that being all-in is easy when it comes to savoring the moments with my grandchildren. Sweet one-on-one time with my grown-up ones — Braden and his wife, Ruth, and Barrett, while I was in Austin doing animal care. Braden and Ruth are still “honeymooning” after nearly three years…
