Sick husbands and Surprise Sons
My brother-in-law was in a terrible car accident last night. Thankfully he was wearing his seatbelt and although his car is totaled, and his body is broken requiring surgery. I am so thankful he is going to be ok. It will take a while to heal. And there has been and will be some pain…

The Mustang
I’m currently at the Ford Dealership. I’m a Ford girl. I learned to drive in a baby blue Ford LTD station wagon. My sister Dori and I were driving to Walnut Creek to get our grandmother and bring her to stay in our Valley Home during her last few months of life. She was quite…

“Jesus with Skin On”
This is dedicated to my “extra mom’s”, my sisters, my friends who through my younger days were the ones who helped a lonely little girl find her path to hope. If God showed us a timeline of everything that would happen in our lives, we would most assuredly panic and start bargaining with Him to…

Easter at my house growing up was a grand celebration of Chocolate bunnies, New clothes, Easter bonnets and Easter dinner with my mom’s best friend and her family. We had a potluck. Stuffed cabbage, potato salad, bean salad, black olives on the table. We ate a lot. Mix in the chocolate and by the time…

My Mom and Dad met while Dad was serving in the army. They met at church, and he was smitten with my tall vivacious, talkative mother who had long legs & a big toothy smile. My Dad was 7 years her junior. She didn’t bother to find that fact out until it was too late.…

Think on these things
Philippians 4: 4 – 8 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again – rejoice. Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near (to the brokenhearted). Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made know to God…

The drive North
I’m not sure why you would be interested in my story. I’m an unknown, sometimes I feel invisible. While I was healing from major back surgery this past year, I’ve had lots of time to think. To Ponder, to reflect. This reflection brought so many memories to the surface. It has been going on for…
