One Day Heaven Next Day Heaven-on-Earth
Yesterday, my blog was about my Sweetheart’s debut into heaven, November 16, 2010. The day after, November 17th, there was much to be done in funeral preparation. But, sandwiched in between our “earth” to do list, was a heaven-on-earth mindset. Papa was basking in heavenly peace and our little Bryson James Wuerch had his 4th…
Dual Citizenship Has Its Privileges
I had an “aha” moment when I handed over my passport at the Mexico customs entry. I was handing over my Rite of Passage going into Mexico and returning to the United States. Having a passport goes way back to my teenage years but taking the time to read the first page of it goes…
This is OUR Season
I drove by this graduation-decorated car at McDonald’s yesterday. I turned around to take the photo of it as I knew a blog would be forthcoming! What a way to start a graduation day — having a hearty meal at McDonald’s! I can only imagine what else this day would hold for their student. My…
Graduates – the World is Your Oyster!
You did it, Grads, and we’re so proud of you! I know it’s not a laughing matter because the pain is real, but this guy amused me with his sentiments about the graduation situation. The other photo here is of a virtual graduation where robots were used to represent the graduates. Can this be the…
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…
Back and Forth — Embracing the Past and Gearing up for an Amazing Future!
In usual “Wallace” fashion, we went to the opening night of the new Star Wars “Solo” movie. Indeed we are “star” struck with Star Wars, but, I’ll admit, during the movie, I whispered to my daughter, “What’s the matter with me? This isn’t at all like one of my Hallmark movies! LOL!” Believe me, it…
Alexia’s Rite of Passage
So, I’m wrapping up our trip to Mexico by sharing about our last day that included completing what we started on the first day of Alexia’s Rite of Passage. Now it was our turn to give her our gifts of love and best wishes, as well as show her videos sent to her by friends…
Alexia’s Rite of Passage
Alexia’s Rite of Passage Day The first full day we were in Mexico, we got a beautiful view of Puerto Vallerta — from a tourist’s point of view. Lots of palatial hotels and resorts and shops galore. Cruise ships in port. Who would ever realize what we would eventually experience from “behind the scenes”? But,…
God Takes Pleasure When We Take Pleasure
Yesterday was planned around Alexia — some girl time, her getting to choose where we would eat for breakfast and dinner — being pampered at the nail salon, her picking some great decor’ for her new bedroom, getting her “Fall Harvest” costume — it was a “by design” day that continues to celebrate her Rite…
