Life as a wife, mom, nana and follower of Christ; hoping to share from lessons learned
I love Valentine’s Day and I’m not the least bit ashamed to admit it. I have always been a sucker for anything heart shaped, although I’ve always wondered where the shape originated from, because it certainly isn’t the human heart. Add to that my adoration for chocolate and cards with loving sentiments, and I’m a […]

I will have to admit that I wasn’t too thrilled with this week’s photo challenge. “Selfies” get a lot of negative press so I didn’t want to take the normal approach. If you are at all like me, it would take 50 selfies for me to get one that I like if I was going […]

Remember the year I turned sixteen? Must I? What a tumultuous year, a year filled with ups and downs, highs and lows, a veritable roller coaster.

[Continue reading...]At first I thought this challenge was going to be difficult as I love all of my family so much and there are hundreds of photos to choose from to depict “family”. Then, I saw this one. It perfectly illustrates the fun that my brother and sister and I have when we are together. It’s […]
[Continue reading...]REBLOGGED from last year My brother, Ronnie and I in 79′ at picnic area in Iowa. It was the summer of 1979 at a roadside stop in Iowa. The day my hatred for all things watermelon began. I ate WAY too much of it; haven’t been able to stand it since. Something about the gluttony […]
