Goodnight, Sun
Aw! A most magnificent sunset in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Staci and Larry, my daughter and husband, recommended eating at the Bistro Blue restaurant where the food is delicious AND “if you get there in time (6:30-ish) you’ll be amazed at the most breathtaking view of sunset.” Their advice didn’t disappoint. A sight to behold!…
Our Home Here & in Heaven
The first home that we officially owned was in South Oak Cliff (suburb of Dallas). That little 1,100 sq ft home was smaller than the apartment I live in now. I took this photo when my granddaughter, Alexia, and I were traveling to Austin a while back. I wanted her to see her Papa and…
One Day Heaven Next Day Heaven-on-Earth
Yesterday, my blog was about my Sweetheart’s debut into heaven, November 16, 2010. The day after, November 17th, there was much to be done in funeral preparation. But, sandwiched in between our “earth” to do list, was a heaven-on-earth mindset. Papa was basking in heavenly peace and our little Bryson James Wuerch had his 4th…
Our Home on the Range Christmas
Tuesday, the 23rd I traveled to Rusk TX to celebrate a sweet and tender Christmas with Larry, Staci, Payton, and Alexia. The beautiful Epiphany Ranch gated entry welcomed me, followed by corn-hole gaming, laughter that Payton and I were winning big time, when Larry’s big final last pitch effort, carried he and Staci to victory.…
Getting a Breather from the Heat
Red River, New Mexico – Here we are at the Sangre de Christo Mountains aka Blood of Jesus Mountains at the town of Red River. That gives me holy chilly bumps to know we are surrounded and covered by the “blood of Jesus” in God’s creation and in His blood that keeps us healthy and…
So Much Heaven-on-Earth Packed Into One Day
On Saturday, Bryson and I started with breakfast at Ollie’s – a Tulsa family favorite since our first grandson was born 26 years ago. Of course, we had to make some memories there – so many trains running around the walls of the restaurant along with train memorabilia everywhere. When my oldest grandson came to…
Our Room With a View
After a sweet heaven-on-earth few days at Beavers Bend with my family, we parted ways as they returned to Frisco, and I headed to Tulsa because the next day I would be attending a Confirmation Retreat as a sponsor to a precious teenage girl. First things first when I go to Tulsa — I go…
There’s a Light at the End of the Tunnel and it’s Not a Train!!!
Determination: firmness of purpose; resoluteness, willpower, tenacity, single-minded, persistence, true grit Today is Day 1 of our Estate Sale at Mom’s home here in Tulsa (see local ad at Craigslist https://tulsa.craigslist.org/gms/d/huge-west-highland-3-day/6549423053.html Whew! With great DETERMINATION – we made it. We “ate this elephant one bite at a time”. That’s what we always said when Karen…
Awareness of God is Possible 24/7
Being in Mexico with my kids for the last several days was a delight — incredible food, birthday celebrations, playing in the surf on boogie boards, laying out on the beach under umbrellas (this very white girl stays covered for the most part), parasailing (you better believe this spring chicken didn’t miss out on that…
On Your Mark — Get Set…….GO!
Shopping is in full force this morning — well, actually, it was in full force at 5 pm yesterday. Seems “Black Friday” is no longer reserved for just Friday. In fact, I purchased an item several days ago that was advertised as a “Black Friday” sale. Clearly, the Thanksgiving holiday is done for another year.…
