🎃The TREAT of October 31st, 1922🎃
This sweet little lady is my dear mother-in-law, Lydia (Winick) Wuerch, who God presented to the world 99 years ago today. Though she was born on the day attributed to Halloween, she was always the TREAT, not the trick. I talk a lot about her because her life changed my life since I was 12…

And Many More…
Are you one of those who must have the last word? If so, then at the conclusion of singing “Happy Birthday” to someone, you probably added the big finish…. “And many more!!” I’ve come to find those words reassuring, so I always sing “and many more” under my breath in hopes that my quiet wish…
Do You Feel Special?
I do! I feel especially special today because today is Ryan’s (my firstborn’s) birthday. This birthday will be celebrated in what makes him happy. At some point in this day, he’ll hear his whole family (all nine of us) singing “Happy Birthday” to him followed by the “Special Plate”. We’ll have a family dinner together.…
Celebrating My Pearl
God is relentless in His pursuit of us. He speaks to us in a thousand different ways trying to get our attention. He is passionate in His love for us, and patient in His tolerance of us. And, just in case you ever doubt your self-worth, here is proof positive of how special and amazing…
A Big Thumbs Up – All is Well!
That fiasco last week of trying to find a replacement for my daughter’s peace sign hand that I accidentally broke, led me to this “thumbs-up hand”. Of course, I had to buy it for sweet memories’ sake. In this photo, my husband was talking to our children shortly after surgery and giving them the “All…
When All is Said and Done – It’s Still a Miracle!
On Sunday, my son called to check in on me. “What are you doing today, Mom?” “I’m going to church with Larry and Staci and then we’re going for my birthday lunch at Hutchins BBQ (my pick)! They’ll be out of town this week on my birthday.” Then his audacious reply: “Mom, how is it…
??A Tribute to my Beloved Sister??
Because she’s alive and well and it’s her birthday! Tributes to those we love generally come after they have passed on. I can’t wait to give that tribute because, quite frankly, I may get my heavenly-orders before she gets hers. One advantage of marrying young has been that I have had many years, not only…
Are You Praying for your Children’s Future Husband or Wife?
I did. And God answered my prayers. Today, I am celebrating the birthday of my daughter’s husband, Larry, who I call “my son”. God gave us YOU, Larry Wallace! I’m sharing this birthday wish to not just my son, Larry, but to all who follow me. I want you to know this man changed my…
Sweetheart, You’ve Got Your Girl!
My obstetrician was going on a 2-week vacation right when my baby was due, and since he had been my “go-to” doc throughout my pregnancy, I didn’t want to take a chance on him not being there for me. Doc told me the baby was “fully cooked” so “Let’s help her make her debut on…
