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…

Life-Changing Experiences When Trusting the Master and His Plan
That’s me — Director of Telecommunications and Mail Services at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada — 22 years ago. This was the cover of MTS’ (Manitoba Telephone Service), magazine. What a blessing to have worked at the U of M for the 7 years that we lived in Winnipeg. Of course, Winnipeg was…
Mary, Did You Know?
She’s the First Lady of the Faith — Mary, the Mother of Jesus. She was always found faithful. And what faith she had! She was the first to believe in Jesus as her Savior and Lord — while she carried Him in her womb. In 1984 Mark Lowery wrote the lyrics to, “Mary Did You…
