In 2010 – before Lanabird and Trusty Camera – The Living Stones and Albers Men’s Classes had an Oscar Party that was so much fun. The pictures are bad, but I thought some of you might enjoy a look back, and others might get a few party ideas. Truman Capote made history with his fabulous […]
Google “Bible verses about the poor” or “Bible verses about helping the homeless“. Oh my! There were 66 verses listed concerning the poor, and 22 verses about helping the homeless (I feel certain there are more, but there were enough listed on the OpenBible.info website to get my attention). Consider: 1 John 3: 17-18 But […]
Several (at least three) readers of this blog have mentioned that they do not think I have written much about our new granddaughter whom I affectionally call Pretty Baby. Honestly, at times she can look just like the Gerber baby. (Grandmother talking here – sorry.) Today was a special day. It was the day we […]
Imagine the scene – We (Betty, Ever-Lovin’ and myself) were sitting in the waiting room waiting (that is what you do in a waiting room) for Betty to be called through the doors into the “I want your blood” room. (It was a medical lab.) Conversation eventually got around (as it always does) to, “Where […]
I am embarrassed to write this true confession. While serving dinner at Mercy Street I said out loud, “I don’t know if I have anything new to blog about our trip to Mercy Street this month.” For shame! Do NOT get me wrong. I love writing about Mercy Street – the faith based ministry that […]

Number Two Son (With his sweet wife Jenny.) chose Red Robin for his birthday celebration. it has been a family favorite since Number Three Son lived in the nearby apartments. Perhaps Red Robin was the first […]
As I mentioned before, the Living Stones were asked to update the teacher’s lounge at Northrich Elementary. Northrich is the elementary school that First Baptist Church Richardson has adopted. Mrs. Ralph (logical choice) is leading our efforts to make this teacher’s lounge a haven from the bustle and stress of the classroom. I know from […]
Today Mrs. Ralph (My dear friend who channels Ralph Lauren in her decorating style.) and I were doing one of the things that we most enjoy doing – shopping thrift stores (Also known as “Badwill Hunting.”) Of course, we do not “need” anything, but the thrill of the hunt, and the bargains found made for […]
There was a day when I resisted being called a “senior”. I remember one time at Furr’s Cafeteria where the cashier gave me the “senior discount”, but did not give Ever-Lovin’ the discount. Excuse me! It still riles me. But in the past few years, I have warmed up to the fact of the benefits […]
