Maggie’s Morning Walk

Posted on: May 22, 2014        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
8:00 AM:  Breakfast is finished and Ever-Lovin’ is in the shower. (Is that Too Much Information?) Boston Terrier Maggie sits and waits by the bathroom door. “How long does a dog have to wait?” ‘Finally!” “Wait a minute.  Where are you going?” “It is time for our walk.” “Come on.” “Can’t you see?  Here is […]

Brett Gibson, our Serve Pastor at First Baptist Church Richardson, asked the Living Stones Bible Fellowship Class (we do have a reputation) to freshen up the teacher’s lounge at Northrich Elementary.  (Carol Post was our contact for this project.)  Our church has adopted this neighborhood school, and strives to share God’s love with the teachers […]

Mike and Day are dear friends that we have known since our boys were young.  Many adventures have been shared with Day.  I have wanted to share her home with you for sometime.

Hot Rod’s Orchestra Concert

Posted on: May 15, 2014        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
Children grow up way too fast.  Hot Rod had his last orchestra concert of the year, and it is unbelievable what these children have learned in one year.  They can actually play different notes and rhythms than other sections of the orchestra.  And they play their pieces very well I might add. The orchestra consists […]

This garden is always beyond wonderful.  Not only were the iris blooming, but there were also roses, bluebonnets, columbine, and many others plants.  The love and care she puts into creating a lovely environment inspires everyone. Miss […]

Fading Tulips

For the Easter table, I bought tulips at Krogers.  Honestly, I was surprised to find them late on the Saturday night before Easter, but there they were in all their glory, and I thought them beautiful. On Easter Sunday, the gorgeous blooms created a cheerful table, but shortly thereafter, the blooms began to droop.  Maybe […]
