A Man for all Seasons
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall – all you have to do is call, and he’ll come running. Please let me introduce you to that beautiful man on his birthday. Larry Wallace, my daughter’s husband; Payton and Alexia’s dad and I call him my son! We share him with the many who he “fathers”, “friends”, and…
Win All Day
Pictures speak louder than words, but since I, being a widow with excess words to deliver, will provide this blog with words AND pictures. This first photo is of my beloved son by marriage (Staci’s husband) and his best “other” friend than Staci – his John Deere Tractor. His dream come true. His baby. His…
Embrace the Place
It is almost eight months since my move to Austin. I arrived to my place with no hot water in an icy, snow-covered city. But that was a blessing to have water at all. The pipes had frozen and busted in the building. The other residents were trailblazers for the rest of us who moved…
Are You Dressed Yet?
That’s a loaded question. The answer could be “yes”, even if you’re sporting your jammies, your swimsuit, or a 3-piece suit. A t-shirt and shorts may mean a comfortable afternoon at home or the park. A silky chiffon dress might mean a special night out. My Austin children went to a wedding yesterday, but before…
2020’s Silent Shifter
A “Silent Shifter” changed everything about the way we think. It was like an invisible force field swept over our world. The fight for life has been the #1 goal. Our world has been united in this fight. Our medical field and essential services’ heroes put on their “superman/woman” capes, masks, gloves and have been…

May we pray it with complete faith and trust in our God — with Whom nothing is impossible:???Prayer for the Coronavirus Epidemic Crisis???LORD JESUS,…
No Place I Would Rather Be
I’m here in my sweet spot – with my two youngest grandsons while their dad and mom are away for a few days. The oldest here — the handsome dude — Monday chapel requires ties and jackets. Be still my heart! The youngest is home schooled so I get to step up and be his…
Being Careful But Not Judgmental
I want to be very careful with my words today because I cringe with the thought that I could sound judgmental. I don’t get into politics much, though I am adamant in my position which I think is obvious for Who I follow — our Abundant Life Provider (John 10:10). Maybe I’m naiive because I…
What I Learned From an Escape Room
Last week a group of us from my community headed out for a fun-filled day that started with going to the “Countdown 2 Escape” here in Frisco. It is an Escape Room adventure where you go into one room and through a series of opening up boxes, drawers, and closets to find riddles, puzzles and…
Be Sure to Wear Your Little Black Dress
I was amused when my daughter told me she was invited to a dinner with several women and the tagline was: “Be sure to wear your little black dress.” Staci remarked to me: “I don’t have a little black dress but I’ll make it happen!” And she pulled it together with a stylish black top…
