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…
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…
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…
