Do You Carry?
Headed to Lubbock last weekend, we made a pit stop for lunch in Brownwood TX to eat at a favorite restaurant, Underwood’s BBQ (established in 1945). Underwood’s BBQ is a family-owned business and now the 3rd generation, great grandson carries on the business. Mr. Underwood welcomed us in and gave us a play-by-play of all…
Billows of Love and Healing
“Billows” isn’t a word that I use in my everyday speech. But because on this day I take to the pavement for a morning walk, I can’t help but notice the billowy clouds. I take photos in the direction of the Texas Children’s Hospital, but I need to get to a spot that isn’t skewed…
What is a Noble Man?
It still sounds strange to me when I speak of my now husband. After all I was a widow for nearly 13 years. Today, I get to celebrate him because it is his birthday. He is a NOBLE man by name and in character. In this photo, he is buying an Olive Tree (a symbol…
Clean Hands and a Pure Heart
I remembered when little fingerprints covered the lower half of my sliding glass doors when we were with our little great nieces and nephew a few weeks ago. It was unquestionable that those fingerprints were theirs because of the height of their placement and the size of those little hands. The evidence was real. We…
We Only Live Once — Really?
When we served for Hospice Austin’s Camp Braveheart last June, I walked past this chalkboard art. I quickly backed up to read it, took a picture of it and here I am sharing it with you today. Aw! We have to love Charles Schultz’s “Peanuts”. This time a chalk artist gave us a great comeback…
To Err is Human…..But Who Likes Erring?
I spend many hours of my day on my computer. As we travelled back to Austin, I was typing my next blog. My computer is one of my best friends. I spend more time with it than anything else. With all the typing, editing and publishing I do, I have apps that correct spelling errors,…
What are YOU Passionate About?
I was introduced to the Texas Tech Red Raiders football team at Aussies (a sports bar and restaurant in downtown Austin) a few weeks ago where we watched and cheered for them at their first game of the season. That’s where my husband and his youngest daughter would go to watch many Texas Tech games…
The Golden Rule aka the Golden Ruler
Aw! The old “Golden Rule”. Personal reciprocity. I like the word, reciprocity — as in harmony like a situation or relationship when two people or groups agree to do something similar for each other. So, if we took the Golden Rule to heart, then it should be simple to follow, and even go beyond. “Do…
New Life from a Pig’s Heart
Breaking news! On September 20th, surgeons at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore announced that they transplanted the heart of a genetically altered pig into a man with terminal heart disease who had no other hope for treatment. Lawrence Faucette, 58, a Navy veteran and married father of two had terminal heart disease…
I’m Getting Corny
Yummy corn on the cob! A corn on my toe! Yikes! Time for candy corn! Let’s pop some popcorn! It doesn’t get cornier than this! You might notice I can get mighty corny — and today is one of those days! This is a good morning news alert! The Full Corn Moon aka Harvest Moon…
