Hi!  All is well here and the weather really is beautiful.  We have the house all opened up and even though it's nearly noon, the temperature is in the 70s and there is a cool breeze blowing through the house.  Wonderful!  We're having chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy for lunch, along [...]
 Today is a very blessed day.  Today is my younger son Mark's birthday.  He is truly a gift from God and has become everything I ever prayed for him to become and more.  For validation of that statement, read the short eloquent post his wife, Lynn, wrote about him this morning at "My Charmed Life."  [...]
I'm thankful for my little five year old granddaughter, Zoe.  Zoe lives here in Picayune with her daddy, Mark, her mama, Lynn, and sisters, Hannah & baby Kayci.Zoe likes frogs and bugs and snails and, especially, starfish.  I've given her a couple of real ones to treasure and she's always looking for starfish.She loves to [...]

Good to be Home

It's good to be home.  We had a great trip and saw lots of family and did lots of fun things, but it's good to be home again.The trip home was uneventful.  Especially for me, who slept about 95% of the time coming home.  I can't stay awake in a car any more on a [...]
Greetings from Abilene, Texas.  It's been a while since I last posted.  Since last Friday to be exact.  Sorry to be so out of touch, but a lot of miles have been driven between then and now and a lot of visiting has taken place. We got up at 4 [...]
Sorry I haven't been writing this week.  It's been a really quiet week and I've not really had anything on my mind to write about, to tell the truth.  I used to get weeks like that sometimes at the newspaper when I was working as Community Editor.  I wrote a weekly column along with all [...]
I need y'all to pray for me about something.  You see, I'm home alone the rest of the week (which I wasn't going to divulge, but now am) because Tom is out of town on a business trip and won't be back until Sunday evening sometime.  He left yesterday, so I was alone last night [...]
My kids like to talk with me.  Mark called me last night just to talk.  I like to talk with them, too, so we're even.  They are delightful people and we have a great time talking with one another and visiting, when we get the chance.  I really enjoy talking with my mom, too, and [...]

Okay - the word is gullible. Although, I much prefer trusting.
But, I’ve been called on it, now, some three times in the past three or four days since the Captain Gulf post, so I guess I need to consider the possibility, at least, that that’s what I am - gullible. One long time friend told […]

While the "official" relationship between my husband, Tom, and my son, Mark, may be "stepdad" and "stepson," they are actually two peas in a pod in lots of ways. Most ways, actually. But, probably the most important way in which they are alike, much to my chagrin, is in their joy in telling what they […]
