Happy Birthday Carson

My great-nephew Carson had a birthday party – a pirate birthday party, and I was invited.  It is always a pleasure to be invited to  Kyle and Ashley’s home.  Their home is beautiful, warm, inviting and filled with love.  Carson’s pirate party was the kind of party I like.  The party was at their home, […]

Living Stone Christmas – Part 2

Posted on: Dec 7, 2012        In: Gatherings        With: No comments
Posting about the Living Stones Christmas party in chronological order seems to be the best way to organize these posts.  We came bringing gifts for our CPS children, and I told you about sweet Lauren and what a blessing she is to all of us.  That was Part 1. Next we ate – can Baptist […]

A CPS Christmas

For many more years than I can remember, the Living Stones Bible Fellowship class (formerly known as Sunday School) has had a Christmas party.  We eat, laugh and enjoy an ornament exchange.  The highlight of the evening is the gifts we bring for the CPS (Child Protective Services) children.  Each member of the class buys […]

You have probably seen them.  Slices of logs made into chargers.  I liked them.  I loved them.  I wanted them.  I dreamed of them on a rustic table contrasted with a touch of silver. Neighbor behind us had a large tree cut down.  I saw it on the curb.  Number One Son was with me. […]

HomeGoods Grand Opening – Austin

I am a little ashamed to write this, but…. Back in the day, there was a group of us that thought we could have easily been an advertisement  for  T.J.Maxx.  We shopped and shopped T.J.’s (We were on the first name basis with T.J.Maxx.) for all the best bargains.  It was during this time that […]

Dear friend Jorene – the one I have known almost all my life – invited me to a rehearsal of the Ft. Worth Symphony. Seems she is a donor, and donors are invited to attend a rehearsal.  Did you know this could be done?  And It was so much fun. First things first.  I had […]

As always, it was a fun day.  We enjoyed being with friends, doing something worthwhile, and then “breaking bread” together at the Circle Grill. […]
