Monday- Today is Sheryl’s memorial service. My thoughts have lingered with her family, and especially her sweet sister who is traveling to Kansas from Alabama. It all seems so surreal. I was just there with her. I can still hear her voice in my head. She is going to be missed. Darby’s Birthday Today is Ms. Darby’s 8th birthday. …
Our Week in Review… A page turn for our family. I know these posts are long- I’m trying to be more careful about remembering the happenings each day. I’m just bringing each of you along on the ride.:) Feel free to just pick a day to read, if you would like! If you are staying for the entirety of our…
This post is about so many things, mostly Courtney’s wedding. 🙂 I’m just throwing that out there since it is probably going to seem a little scattered. Did you know you can buy these on Ebay?! I did not. I had NO idea. The last time we looked up replacements for our car, they were going to be about $30/fob.…
Woah! I had no idea when I woke up this morning, we would have such a day of adventure and memory making ahead! Paul has been working at the ball park in Hoover this week, doing the 2017 SEC Baseball Championship. Benjamin had asked if he could go and see Paul working on the truck so Paul and I scheduled…
Hello, old friends. It’s been quite a long time. Life has taken so many twists and turns in recent months. Each morning has brought challenges and blessings (of course, those challenges are blessings if you believe that all things happen for the good of those who love Him!). I have a new grand-boy. We’re knee deep in our little soap…
I’ve been taken with our roses lately. I find myself lingering over them- dreaming of a time when the entire rose bed might be full of blooms, watching the bees buzz as they do their daily work while we enjoy the fruits of their labor. I cut several stems a few nights back. They are arranged in vases on the…
San Antonio is an absolutely beautiful city. I was privileged to spend time there as a teenager for a high school speech competition and I’ve been there twice with Paul. We were on the road early from Houston toward San Antonio. Paul had decided he wanted to eat lunch at The Canyon Café. It is located not far from town…
We are *so* very blessed to have a sweet young friend who agreed to take a new family photo for us while everyone was here on Resurrection Sunday. This one will now replace the one that currently hangs above our sofa. I’m thrilled to be updating that one, we were missing Owen, Kylie, our new (expected) grandson and Paul’s sweet…
In case you wonder what the evening looks like in our home….. Photo courtesy of Courtney!

My Great-Grandmother. She had a graceful beauty.
We do still try and find time for fun on Friday nights. On this particular Friday, we had additional guests…. I *adore* the people in this room. To sit and listen to the laughter and watch them having fun, meant the world to me. There are days I *wish* I could freeze in time.
