(ROCKWALL, TX — May 3, 2019) I’m writing a bit early this week because today is an anniversary for me…of sorts. Six years ago today we moved Mother into Broadmoor Medical Lodge. It had been a very hard six months since her fall, but God was using those six months to build the facility that […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — April 7, 2019) It’s like Christmas in pink and yellow!!!!! Bunnies, eggs, lilies, baskets, crosses, glitter, Easter grass in psychedelic colors…it’s a sensory overload! Chocolate bunnies & Peeps galore decorate the shelves. Kroger is trying to catch up. My GRANDS that live here are teenagers now. Over time they refined the skill […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — March 25, 2019) Red, watering eyes, sneezing, misery, the fog of antihistamines…does any of this sound familiar? All that beautiful yellow fluff flying through the air, covering our deck is causing such misery for the one I share a house with. Bless him. Our inclination is to open up the house and […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — March 18, 2019) New leaf green! Some may call it chartreuse, some lime. Then there’s sage and seafoam along with emerald or even olive drab. I hadn’t given much thought to how many shades of green there are until this morning at church. I’m not Irish (I don’t think I am, […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — June 11, 2018) What do the words “Vacation Bible School” conjure up in your mind? Oh, my! I’m geared up for my almost 71st year of VBS. I’m sure I’ve missed one or two in there, but not many. My mother worked in VBS each year, so I probably attended from the […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — May 14, 2018) My Mother doesn’t really know it’s Mother’s Day. I visited her today after lunch. I helped her brush her teeth and opened a card from a dear friend who used to sit with her while we attended church each Sunday. Mother doesn’t remember her either. She does remember how […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — May 7, 2018) I find myself coming of age… an age of doing things with a different mindset than when I was 40. That’s hard for me. I’m 71 now and need to begin thinking like one should when one is 71. I’m not sure what that should look like since I’ve […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — April 19, 2018) I’m in the city of National Treasures. The seasonal treasure these days are the cherry trees in full bloom. They are all over the area, not just around the Tidal Basin. As I look out the kitchen window right now on this cold & rainy Spring morning, there stands […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — April 2, 2018) I’ve been studying quite a bit about Easter during these last 40 days. Some things have struck me that I’ve not noticed before. I’d like to share them with you and look a little more closely. It didn’t end well for Judas. Even though Jesus chose him, he was […]
