I’m in My Happy Place
Just look at those smiles! Those are my grandchildren who all live here in Austin, their new “happy place”, after having been strung out from Georgia to Seattle. What an amazing turn of events.

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…
