At this point, we all had our hair and makeup done. I put my dress on. Boy do I love it. Do you remember the episode of Friends where the girls all got dressed up in wedding gowns and just watched tv and hung out? That’s what I’d like to do with my gown. I… Continue reading Dressed to Wed
This past weekend out middle daughter, Abby, married the love of her life in the most magical, spiritual, precious ceremony I have ever been a part of.

One of the sweetest moments at Abby’s shower was when my lifelong friend, Joli, shared some words she had written about marriage. Joli is one of the most Godly, heartfelt person you will ever meet.

I can take my needlepoint projects outside and enjoy the weather while I work on them. Since it turned cold again this weekend I took the opportunity to finish… Continue reading Bring on Summer

But it reminded me of the scripture, Proverbs 18:21, “The tongue has the power to build up or destroy, bringing life and death.” It is… Continue reading The Power of Words: Building Up vs. Destroying
I’ll admit it. I’m a sucker for a snow day. I get as excited as an elementary school child when the forecast calls for snow. I don’t sleep with my pajamas on inside out like my Nenaw used to tell us to do, but boy do I hope for snow. I was thrilled a couple… Continue reading Snow Day
Today my Dad turns 80 years old! He is a walking miracle. If you have been friends with me for very long, you know that 11 years ago he nearly died.
