One could not help but hope to see bluebonnets on our trip to Gruene, Texas. After all – it is springtime in the Lone Star State, and we would be driving through Central Texas. We were not disappointed. Be still my heart! Along the highways of our beloved state, bluebonnets’ indigo color paint the landscape. […]
On a scale of 1 to 10, I do believe that the energy level at Mercy Street on the last Sunday night in March was at least an 8 – AT LEAST! Sweet Mother of Pearl – I love how the middle school students enjoy being with each other. During spring break, many of the […]
Shortly after I married Ever-Lovin’, my daddy mentioned to Mother, “That girl didn’t get an iron skillet.” Evidently he felt strongly that every cook needed an iron skillet, because he went down to a store in Andrews (I wish I knew where.) and bought me the largest(11 3/4 inch) iron skillet he could find. When […]
Spring has arrived. Believe it if you can. That is what the calendar says – March 20, 2014 is the Vernal Equinox. The Vernal Equinox from almanac.com: Ah, spring!

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 […]
Miss Jane is my friend who loves to garden and has beautiful gardens. Recently she brought me twigs of flowering quince. They were in a vase of water. As you can see, there were very few blooms on the twigs, but there were many buds. Miss Jane assured me that the buds on these […]
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 […]
Do you find it interesting that strange things happen when you have company? Could that be a Murphy’s Law? The Buds were over. We were sitting at the breakfast table laughing and playing Skip-Bo. Suddenly we heard screams, “Bird in the house. Bird in the house. Try to get him out!” When Number One Son […]
I Heart You! You bless me by allowing me to share Lanabird with you each day. Thank you. In honor of this day that celebrates love, I thought I would share hearts. On a bedside table in a guest room is a small collection of heart shaped dishes – a china vanity box, a Belleek […]
