Friends, teachers and directors of First Baptist Church Richardson gathered to honor Pastor Candy Smith as she retires. I must admit that it really bums me that Candy is retiring. I consider her a friend, a mentor, and I am honored to know her. The good thing is that she will still be around and an […]
Christmas is over. There were to be no more Christmas post, but then Super Sister came to visit with images of a Christmas luncheon that was held at Hill Country Bible Church in Austin, Texas. The December luncheon is an outreach ministry of this large church. Neighbors and friends are invited to celebrate the season and hear […]
One last Christmas post. There was plenty of good food to eat on Christmas Eve during our open house. Guests usually bring treats to share, and we enjoy everyone’s goodies. For those of you who like to know, here was the menu. Stephanie (Logan helped) won the prize for the cutest treats. She saw these […]
Happy New Year! Can it really be 2015? Wasn’t the Millennium just a couple of years ago? It is hard to believe. Number One Son and his sweet wife Mikel hosted a New Year’s Eve party. The table was laden with food, and it was all scrumptious. Number One Son made his delicious (and I […]
I like it. I love it. Friends and family gather with us on Christmas Eve after the Candlelight Service. Having these dear ones join us in our Christmas celebration is one of my favorite times of the year. All are welcome – family, friends, and friends of family and friends. Friends who gather with us are […]

A highlight of my Christmas each year is when the Grand’s (grand nieces and nephew + my grandchildren) come for our annual Christmas tea. It is a party for the children with the added bonus of getting to visit with my nephews and their sweet wives. A bummer for me this year was that Super […]
It is so hard to believe. Pretty Baby is one year old. Of course, we had a party. She was dressed for the occasion – pink tutu dress with a special birthday hat and pink shoes. What a darling little princess. Aunt Becky painted the chalkboard. Wow! She is majorly talented. We had a brunch to […]
The Jeffersons are a group of ladies that have been friends for many many moons, and they enjoy celebrating birthdays and holidays together throughout the year. For our annual Jefferson Christmas Party, we were invited to Mrs. Ralph’s home. (Mrs. Ralph is my friend who channels Ralph Lauren in her decorating style.) Needless to say, […]
True confession – I am not a huge fan of cake balls. I know the rest of the world loves cake balls, and gobble them up by the fistfuls. BUT – So many of the cake balls I have eaten were gummy and mushy. It is not a taste thing. It is a texture thing. With that announcement […]
