That’s Onomatopoeia: POW, BOOM, BAM
My BFF from Tulsa came to see me on Thursday. We make every moment count when we’re together. We call ourselves “Ethel and Lucy” because we can sure have some hilarious (without even trying) times. We were in that mode at Hobby Lobby and then yesterday, just before she headed on her way to her…
What If Blessings Come From Raindrops?
If we could measure our blessings by raindrops that have come to Frisco for the last week and, now, it shows rain every day through Sunday, then we would be overwhelmed with blessings. On Monday, I returned home from Austin in unceasing, torrential rain most all the way in which driving was extremely intense. My…
It’s Fall — My Favorite Season of the Year
It rained incessantly all day here in Frisco on Saturday. That beautiful drenching outside made for a glorious indoor day of wearing comfy clothes, thoroughly giving my home a good top-to-bottom cleaning, and then rewarding myself at the end of the day with a sweet Hallmark movie, popcorn, and a chocolate shake. Aw — the…
Allll Aboard — for the Joy-of-Life Bandwagon!
Yesterday is gone and THIS IS THE DAY the Lord has made, so let’s be JOY-full and be glad for it! When you’ve had as many DAYS on this earth as I’ve had, you recognize each new day as a blessed day of start-overs, do-overs, rejoice-overs and be-glad-in-it overs. I live in a 55+ community…
Do They Know Us By Our Fruit?
When in season, I love those little Halos and Cuties brands of mandarins. They are my “go-to” fruit, but at the end of spring, they leave the produce shelves. I’ve purchased other varieties since then and they just don’t taste the same and are even sour or tasteless. Who wants a sour or tasteless fruit?…
Go Tell It On The Mountain
Go Tell It on the Mountain Today I celebrate the day my sweet Daddy, at age 64, graduated to heaven in 1964. My Sweetheart was only 63. I think God was giving out “Fast Passes” to heaven for two men that I loved so much. Good for them. They both earned those “Fast Passes”. I…
Joy to the World
Those words resonated with me yesterday, especially when I was standing in an extremely long check-out line. A voice came over the loud speakers “We assure you all our available cashiers are working very hard to get you served as quickly as possible.” When I arrived at the front of the line, I noticed there…
The Debut of Two Girls Into Our World
On this special day, September 16th, I’m celebrating two of my girls. It was actually September 15th when our son asked us to join him and Shawntel’s family for a surprise birthday party for her at her home. Her birthday was September 16th, but the party was on the 15th. We had a wonderful time…
Enthusiasm is Contagious! Be a Carrier!
Chuck E Cheese goes way back in our family. It started with my two kids and has continued through the decades with the grandkids — and still now, with the youngest, 10 year-old Bryson. He needs his “fix” every time Nana comes into town. Older brother stopped going last year because, you know….”Chuck E is…
Is This Christmas a FIRST For You?
My heart goes out to anyone that this is their first Christmas without their loved one(s). The memories seem more vivid and the love we had for them is even greater during this beautiful season. Pictured here is our last Christmas with Papa (my sweetheart) who always read the Christmas Story to the grandkids before…
