Day 5 of My Birthday Celebration
I had a fun Pilates session with Joey this morning. I thought that was the last surprise – and it has been an amazing week-long. Celebration and so VERY over the top! However, Joey gave me a new clue. There is MORE!!! Here’s the clue: We hope you are feeling refreshed and greatYour final surprise…
Another Day of Birthday Celebrations
Tonight’s dinner was wonderful! Oysters, heirloom tomatoes with house-made burrata cheese, filet mignon grilled to perfection, cheesy grits, and banana pudding with homemade praline and chocolate cookies for dessert. Wow! Totally delicious meal – and the fellowship with Ron, Larisa, and Phillip was fantastic. And they’re not through! I got a new clue for the…
Birthday Celebrations Continue
If you read what I posted yesterday, you will know that I was scheduled to get a “video meet and greet” today and a “sweet visit with a cupcake.” Lily, Sophie, and Sophie Grace called and we FaceTimed together! What wonderful girls! They caught me up on what’s going on in their lives. I’m excited…
It Started in the 1950s with Two Dimes and a Nickel
One evening, when I was a little girl in the 1950s, I pulled a tooth and put it under my pillow – anticipating the usual quarter that it would earn. I woke up, and under my pillow was a dime. A dime? That wasn’t enough! My father seemed amused and said to keep looking. I…

God’s Wings – Protection, Comfort, Healing
I am learning so much this year by reading the chronological Bible. Although I’m in the New Testament now, there was a reference to Malachi. It is interesting how seeing a word or phrase can lead a person to other memories and thoughts. From my reading specialist days, that’s “making connections” which is a cornerstone…
Faith and Doubt
Doubt can be good. An examined and questioned belief can stand the test of life’s struggles.
What I’ve Been Up To Lately
I started the year off with lots of videos, and then got sidelined with kidney cancer surgery which took me a solid three months to get back my energy and stamina. So now I’m back. I’m still dealing with some non-urgent physical issues, but thankfully they’re not stopping me from doing the things I enjoy.…
Fun Times Ahead
In just a week, I will fly with Larisa to Porto, Portugal. There we will meet Lily who is flying there from Dallas. Then the three of us will meet Sophie because her Semester at Sea voyage will be in Porto at that time. Sophie will give us a tour of her ship. Lily is…
