It’s Okay to Call Out for Help
I was inquisitive enough to read “The Pilgrim’s Progress” over the last couple of days. Allegories aren’t my forte, but I did understand “Christian” was looking for the Celestial City throughout. I’m so visual that I needed technicolor and visual characters to help me grasp it. So, I rented the 2019 animated version on Amazon…
Celebrating While Remembering
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…..ALREADY! It seems Christmas comes earlier each year. In a sense, it does because of lightning fast time passing (I promise, you young things, you’ll understand that speed one day), but also in seeing Christmas lights shining brightly on homes already. Oh, the peer pressure! Actually, that added…
Choose Life
What helps me pass the time when I’m traveling or on a treadmill or elliptical equipment, is listening to audio books. Since I’m a “romantic” at heart, I enjoy listening to Karen Kingsbury’s Christian inspirational books of intrigue, a tinge of romance and happy endings. The story-line of a recent one I listened to, included…
Grads! Your Future is so Bright, You Must Wear Shades!
I have been enamored by all the graduation photos of all who are celebrating this momentous time of the year! Congratulations to all of you — children AND parents. It’s a great feat to have made it to this Rite of Passage that took a village to see it through. I know. I’ve been there…
Fire Hazard Warning – There’ll Be 70 Candles on my Cake!
I’m saluting my age 70+ friends today and counting my blessings because in two days I’ll join you as I embark on my own 70+ ride! My Frisco family and I are making our way down to Austin for my “7-0 party” weekend. I’m so thankful that I made another year, particularly when I consider…
My Childhood Home
Do you remember your childhood home? If you’re like me, you may remember a huge home with a ginormous tree out front, but when we go back to that childhood home, we realize it’s only about 1,000 square feet and that huge tree in the front yard is just a scrawny tree. We had a…
Homeward Bound
Homeward Bound. After a beautiful Sunday brunch with the bride and groom, and the rest of the out-of-towners, we gave all our hugs and best wishes and we were then headed out in the Motorcoach again for our return trip to Frisco. I just had to post this sweet photo of Braden carrying Ruth across…
Dr. Whirlwind and Dr. Peace — Relax. Trust Me.
Six years ago my sweetheart was in for another hospital adventure. We were still learning some very important lessons on our faith journey. I needed an extra dose of peace yesterday, so I thought about those lessons. I had some good reminders and thought maybe my FB family could use some of those lessons too.…
Journey. Adventure. Wander.
Day 168 of Photos Inspirations — Journey. Adventure. Wander. On the road back home today. What a great week we’ve had in Minnesota. Without a doubt, hanging with the grandkids, being a part of their lives and celebrating the foundations that are being laid in their future is one of my greatest joys. Payton was…
Let’s Go On A Treasure Hunt
Day 146 of Photo Inspirations — Let’s Go On A Treasure Hunt I admit it…..I love the notion of finding hidden treasures. This must be my impedus for doing treasure hunts for my grandkids — for every birthday since they understood what it was about — but even before they could read. The big kids…
