Happy Star Wars Day!
….May the Fourth be with you! Tomorrow my best friend and mentor, my life partner, JIM, will have been in his new home for eighteen months earth time. A thousand years is like a day to the Lord and so I would imaging it would be for Jim as well since he is experiencing eternity…

LA Festival of Books!
This weekend I went to the LA festival of books. It seems to have become a tradition for Emily and I, along with my brother Jonathan and his family. That’s nice. A tradition! Since moving to California and since Jim left earth, it seems like our traditions, our celebrations, and our family has gone on…
April 6th – Good Friday!
17 months ago Jim went to heaven, and I wish I could stop counting that anniversary, but it falls on other big days like this one. Good Friday. It is truly good because without it I have no hope for heaven. I am awed that God loved me so significantly. So completely. I am amazed…
April Fool’s Day
It is spring break in other parts of the country. It is interesting because it was never a big deal when I was growing up in southern California. But when I moved away I began to understand why! In a Word – WINTER! And that is not a season that is part of California! We…
Happy 100th Anniversary FBCS!
I was not sure I would go. I didn’t want to remember because sometimes the memories are hard and overwhelming. But when I was invited and I thought about it, I could almost hear Jim’s voice encouraging me and telling me to go for both of us. I did go and I did remember. It…

Leap Day! An extra day to celebrate!
Today Disneyland is open for 24 hours. As much as I love the place I am not interested in those kinds of crowds! Instead I went with Clayton to the Fullerton High School soccer banquet. My boy lettered on the varsity soccer team! Woo Hoo! but even better, for the second year, he received the…
New Insights
Today marks the Super Bowl but also 15 months since Jim joined the cloud of witnesses! I make new discoveries and see God’s mercies in new ways every day. Some of them are nurturing, some are healing, some are practical! For example, I recently rearranged my bedroom and added a new comforter. I knew I…
My New Invention!
It started with uploading a picture for my IPad of Walt Disney and Shirley Temple. The page that came up included a recipe for Shirley Temple cupcakes, which Katherine and I decided to try while she was out visiting this weekend. Well, being the big tea and scone fans that we are, in addition to…
