A Day for Love Letters
Day 55 of Photo Inspirations — A Day for Love Letters Yesterday was a sweet home-bound day, when the snow continued to fall and give me every reason to stay in my comfy robe and househoes. I love these days when it seems that God gives me a heavenly nudge to slow down and enjoy…
It’s Worth the Investment
Day 51 of Photo Inspirations – It’s Worth the Investment!! TBT – Throw Back Thursday – Like any “Stage” Mom, I was always on the lookout for any and every contest I could get my girl in. I got “wind” of the Mrs. North Carolina Pageant and thought “Why not, my Girl?” So, unbeknownst…
Making Room for God
Day 50 of Photo Inspirations — Making Room for God! Let the MAKEOVER begin!! I’ll admit it. I love reality TV shows — watching real people endeavoring to win a competition or watching personal makeover shows that radically transform someone, like “The Biggest Loser”. And I love the “Fixer-Upper” Show where they take the worst…
Snow Boots Come With Memories
Day 49 of Photo Inspirations — Snow Boots Come With Memories So yesterday, a snowy day in Tulsa, I set out to take some photos of the beauty. I pulled out these snow boots and bundled myself up from head to toe to stay warm. When I was back home and taking off those…
Winter Wonderland in Tulsa
Day 48 of Photo Inspiration — Winter Wonderland in Tulsa I remember these days, as a kid — so thankful for a snow day when schools were closed. But, today, t I know the kids are probably thinking “Of all days for it to snow, when schools were already closed because it’s President’s Day! So,…

My godson and his three siblings, all have birthdays during…
I’m Remembering
Day 45 of Photo Inspirations — February 14, 1961 — I’m remembering. Fifty-four years ago today, the cutest dark haired 13-year old boy named Ronnie (aka Ron) Wuerch and me, the lankiest, 12-year old girl named Donna Wheat, had our very first “official” date (chauffeured by Ron’s dad) to a church Valentine’s Banquet. This photo…
The Thing Is NOT The Thing
Day 35 of Photo Inspirations — The Thing is NOT The Thing! I saw this photo of an iceberg and it reminded me of the Alaskan Cruise we took several years ago when our ship docked in Juneau and we took the tour to the Mendenhall Glacier. This amazing glacier is 12 miles long, a…
If He Cares for the Sparrows, How Much More Does He Care for Us?
Day 21 of Photo Inspirations. My sweet Alexia, and her passion for animals (big and small) just keeps being more and more evident. She found this little bird all alone and it appeared to be wounded. She picked him up and tenderly held him. She brought him to me to see her newfound friend. She…
Date Nut Loaf — What Are Your Constants?
Day 20 — Photo Inspiration: Mom’s (aka Granny) Date Nut Loaf. I stopped in to see Mom (my Mother-in-Law) yesterday. She had just finished pouring her famous Date Nut Loaf batter into the pan and the tin can. Yes, tin cans make for the perfect individual size loaf pan. And, for ease of removal of…
