Corny Joke Day!
Today is Jim’s Birthday! I made an apple pie and we are going to go miniature golfing to celebrate His life. He stopped growing older just before his 55th birthday but this is the 58th anniversary of the day he was born. I have always found a reason to celebrate life and together we made…
Emily is 21!
Where does the time go? You are a full grown woman and I am not sure how that happened!? A Letter to my 21 year old daughter: Today you are 21 years old. Birthdays mean something different to parents than they do to kids. To us, we cannot help but think about the day our…
Bah Humbug! What I don’t like about Christmas!
This is what I plan to put on my facebook page every day in Dec., but some of you don’t like that I am “being so negative” and a “hater”! I am sorry! It was meant to be a fun way to poke fun at some of the junk that has messed up Christmas. And…

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…
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…
