On the Road Again… and Grateful for the Ride!
We’re packed to the brim — literally and emotionally — as Carl and I hit the road to Fort Worth, Texas, for the annual Noble Family Reunion. The trunk? Loaded with over 75 Silent Auction items. My heart? Loaded with anticipation, love, and just a smidge of “please Lord, let this all come together.” This…
“She Opens Her Mouth with Wisdom” — Hey Girls, That’s You and Me!
Happy Mother’s Day to all moms — and to every woman with a heart that nurtures, comforts, teaches, and tends to others with that unmistakable maternal instinct.
