When Things Don’t Go As Planned…

#ankleReplacement #ankleReplacementGoneBad So- not to sound like an “influencer” but – “A few of you have asked for an update on my leg/ankle replacement recovery so I figured this was the best way to answer the question (that honestly I often have a hard time answering – without getting teary)…” I had my surgery in… Continue reading When Things Don’t Go As Planned…

Our Family Tree (like literally – a TREE!)

My parents moved to Texas in 1976 – thankfully they brought me with them, along with my two older brothers. They found our newly built (but not completed) home just as decisions needed to be made on wallpaper and colors.  We left California and moved into a “mansion” (or so it felt like to us)… Continue reading Our Family Tree (like literally – a TREE!)

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.

The day before… Continue reading A Year Without Sheri – (aka: A #fiveOverFiftyFOREVER update) – June 18, 2020

#UseWhatYouHave #iHadOldCardsAndStamps

We are almost three weeks in to working from home and I still don’t know what is happening.  I’m asked often, as I’m sure you are, “How are you doing?”, and some moments I know what my answer is…and sometimes I have no idea how to form the words.  This is CRAZY, right? #Covid19 On… Continue reading #UseWhatYouHave #iHadOldCardsAndStamps
