Want Something to Celebrate? Celebrate YOU!

Rose & Marci aka Thelma & Louise aka Lucy & Ethel
Early yesterday morning, a few of us in my community sent off two of our neighbors to California. They’re driving in Rose’s truck and will be staying, nightly, in their new cozy travel trailer. These two fun-loving widows, who met here in Hyde Park two-plus years ago, have become best of friends. A 3-week journey…
Looking for Love in All the Right Places
Getting to celebrate life with my special loved ones and friends in Tulsa brings such joy to my heart. Here’s what my World of Love’s “right places” looks like: I have precious friends in the community where I live. We laugh, celebrate life, many of us pray for each other and share meals with each…
