Change of Plans: Hail — No!!
When I posted on Monday (the day after the major hailstorm here in Frisco), about the opportunities that can come from a storm, I didn’t realize that it would apply to not only my grandkids and those friends who get extra work when storms come, but it would be applicable to me, too! Here’s what…
A Day Filled With Imagination and Kodak Moments
Epcot is one of those great Disney parks where the imagination can run wild….rather, drive wild…literally. The first attraction we enjoyed yesterday at Epcot was the “The Test Track” where we were able to design a virtual concept vehicle and then go for a high-octane, simulated drive that went through rough terrain with obstacles along…
God Never Changes
On Friday, we witnessed a president’s departure and exit from office. On the outside, President Obama and Michelle were composed, gracious, stately (I was always impressed with President Obama’s eloquence of speech and composure), but I suspect, once behind closed doors, they were high 5-ing each other and celebrating that they are free of those…
Best Laid Plans Sometimes Go Awry
It hasn’t been easy to stay sequestered at the guest house on my kids’ property on my “God” quest this month. After all, I have two young grandsons, who I adore and they adore me, and when Nana’s around, it’s usually play-time! They inhabit these grounds, so I’ve had to be very resolute in staying…
Because He Lives, I Can Face Today AND Tomorrow
The hullabaloo about New Year’s Eve celebrations has ended for another year….well, except for many of us who are still sharing how we commemorated 2017’s debut. Unlike so many that entered into 2017 with a gnarly hangover, I heard about New Year’s Eve church services where those in attendance heard messages about the possibilities that…
He’s Still Looking Out For Me
Yesterday, I was filled with so much thanksgiving, yet a little weepy, missing my Sweetheart on our 50th Wedding Anniversary. That’s how I roll. I purpose to live with joy, peace and thanksgiving, but there are still those tender times of sweet memories that bring a few tears to my eyes (yesterday, a few more…
An Angel on Assignment
Day 358 of Photo Inspirations — An Angel on Assignment We hear a lot about angels at this time of the year — the angel Gabriel’s announcement to old Zechariah announcing that he and his old, barren wife, Elizabeth, were going to have a baby, then Gabriel appears to the virgin Mary and Joseph to…
Customer Service ROCKS!
Day 208 of Photo Inspirations — Customer Service ROCKS!!! Day before yesterday I arrived safely back home in Tulsa on my Southwest Airlines flight — all was well, except one of my bags didn’t arrive. I routinely completed the missing bag report and was assured that my bag would probably be in on the next…
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…
Lots of Love in Pearls and a Locket
Day 150 of Photo Inspirations — Lots of Love in Pearls and a Locket This little cutie pie is the younger sister of my godson. She had these little pearls, with the locket, on at church on Sunday. I gave them to her on her birthday. Inside the locket is a photo of my husband…
