#ftf – Connie

#ftf – Favorite Things Friday: sometimes I write about things (but usually people) that are my favorite!                     I have this friend…her name is Connie.  While I love to claim her as “my friend”, the truth is that I love that so many others claim her as well.  She is one of those people that… Continue reading #ftf – Connie

A Year Without Sheri – (aka: A #fiveOverFiftyFOREVER update) – June 18, 2020

Our sweet friend Sheri died one year ago today. I typically don’t use the phrase “we lost her” because we know where she is…in heaven with her Savior, Jesus. I remember the phone ringing early in the morning and Tom jumping up to run to the hospital to be with her husband. The day before… Continue reading A Year Without Sheri – (aka: A #fiveOverFiftyFOREVER update) – June 18, 2020

Today I became officially “in the spirit” for Christmas.  I’ve been struggling this year.

#sheri – (Part 2)

Yesterday I processed through some thoughts on the death of my sweet friend, Sheri. To get caught up: feel free to click here. Sheri died on a Tuesday (which our #tribe all thought was appropriate because that has always been “our day” to meet/gather). It was crazy to think about what she was experiencing that morning –… Continue reading #sheri – (Part 2)

#pieForBreakfast – with “TheWomen”

I have these friends…I call them “The Women”. At some point, years ago, we talked about calling ourselves that because we all watched our mothers (or women before us) have women in their lives that were known for hosting showers, bringing meals, celebrating babies/grandbabies, attending weddings and parties, etc.  Basically, they were the dependable ones in… Continue reading #pieForBreakfast – with “TheWomen”

A Different Christmas…and January 7th. #notAFanOfTheFlu

Well, this “January 7th” went a totally different direction than we had planned…and I’m honestly trying to be “ok” with it (but I’m not there yet). For weeks, we have been looking forward to our family being all together this weekend to FINALLY “Celebrate Christmas”. I did all the shopping on line (after the 25th)… Continue reading A Different Christmas…and January 7th. #notAFanOfTheFlu
