The First Day of the Rest of My Life….My New Adventure Begins!!!
My first full day as a Texan — well, I’ve always been a Texan — born here in Dallas, a few decades ago ;-), but after 3+ decades in Oklahoma, adapting to “Ohhh-Kla-ho-ma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plains”, and the wonderful people and places of that great state, I get a fresh…
That’s Gotta Hurt!
This photo came up on our timeline a couple of days ago, and many have commented about it. It doesn’t take much for my daughter and I to find something hilarious in the midst of a routine day. We posed for this photo at a Pumpkin Patch and of course Staci would caption it “Hmm….that’s…
What a Difference Perspective Makes
Six years ago, I knew God had me on a mission. I knew I was mandated to “rise to the occasion”. In spite of the challenging times we were in during that entire year, I knew God had given me a mandate that included finding the blessing in every situation we were encountering – to…

BIG Moving Day! An EPIC Adventure Awaits Me!
So, this is my big moving day — well, at least my “stuff’s” moving day! The movers will be here in an hour or so and my earthly belongings will be headed to Texas, from whence I came from. It’s time for an EPIC adventure! I’ll still be hanging around here in Tulsa until after…
He loves me. He loves me not.
Remember taking a flower and “playing the game “He loves me; He loves me not”, while picking one petal off a flower (usually a daisy or a rose) for each phrase? The phrase we said at the last petal represented the truth between whether that cute boy loved us or not. I don’t know if…
Sometimes Life Gives You a 360
I was born in Dallas, Texas “a few” years ago! LOL! Then our son and daughter were born there, too. That makes us Texans through and through. When my Canadian husband, myself and our two children left Dallas in 1971 for Oklahoma, who knew there would be a “coming back home” someday — at least…
And That’s The Way It Goes!
My mother-in-law, who has always been known for her wit, called me a couple of nights ago and she was on a roll. Typically, it is just a “check-in” call to see how things are going, but this night she was recalling some stories of her childhood and how she and her brother got into…
Who Was St. Patrick?
Do you have your “green” on today? After all, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and the most important thing about this day is that we wear green so we don’t get pinched!! NOT! There will be celebrations all around the world, which includes drinking endless pints of Guinness while wearing green and Ireland’s flag colors like…
Blessing or Curse?
I’ll admit I was quite amped up with excitement when I saw gas prices yesterday (Kum n Go was $1.43/gal and Sam’s Club — where I purchased — was $1.38/gal). Though my car wasn’t on empty, I filled it up just in case that number changes today. A few months ago, when I posted…
