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…
Sweet Sixteen!
Happy Birthday Clayton. March forth…. Tomorrow your dad will celebrate 16 months in heaven (or at least we will remember that he went there) and you turned 16 today! That won’t happen again. So I say to you my son, March forth…you have your whole life ahead of you and the journey begins with the…
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…
Happy New Year! 2012!
Today is traditionally the time for new beginnings, fresh starts and resolutions. Last night we spent with our friends the Terry’s and we celebrated the new year in England, Rio de Janiero, Buenos Aires, Barbados, and New York. Then Emily and I celebrated in Chicago and Scottsdale before I fell asleep! 🙂 Last night was…
Mirmmade Tales…..to be continued?
Well, I have kept this blog barely alive for a year and now I am trying to decide if I am going to keep it going or not. I don’t think it will matter much since not many people follow it (except I get a ridiculous amount of spam), and I am processing several other…
Annual Update
Jim is the one who took care of the Christmas card and letter updates every year. So, now that I am in charge, you are lucky to get anything at all. Having said that, I do know that many of you have asked about how we are doing and wishing you had an update. So…
May it always be Christmas in your heart!
Merry Christmas 2011! We are trying to make new traditions, which time honored traditions to keep, and to enjoy our celebration without Jim. Last year was a blur since Jim had just left us for heaven and everything ached. This year we are still finding it is difficult since Jim left a huge hole in…
Fullerton Rangers and Fullerton High Varsity soccer
Clayton is loving soccer! We spent Thanksgiving weekend in Las Vegas for a Soccer tournament and now the school season has begun! Clayton’s club team remains undefeated in back to back seasons and last night the FUHS Varsity won the Brea Soccer Tournament! I am definitely a soccer mom! I am so loving it! Jim…
