This is the way I remember it, and I am sticking to my story. Educational movies were not abundant back in the early 1950’s. The schools in Andrews were certainly “modern” by the standards of the day, and they had a movie projector – but few movies to show. The teachers showed the same movies […]
Super Sister and I met in Stephenville to visit Aunt Lois. It was a day I will always remember! On the occasion of Aunt Lois’ 101 birthday, there was a half page article about her in the Lifestyles section of The Stephenville Empire-Tribune. Aunt Lois sat back and shared her memories with Joyce Whitis a […]
The days are cooler, and it is official autumn. I thought it time I got out a little of my “fall decor”. Honestly, there are only a few touches of fall so far, but I thought I would share what is happened in the dining room. I love white pumpkins and have bought several through […]
Dear Friend Betty had surgery today. She fell and broke her neck. (Yes, her NECK, and it was a bad break! Terrible – Just terrible.) The doctors had to use screws to stabilize the vertebrae. The wait in the waiting room was long, long, l-o-o-o-n-g. – I thought the surgery would never end. Aside from […]
At 5:44 P.M. Central daylight time on September 22, 2013, autumn officially began. That is the time of the Autumnal Equinox – the time when the sun passes over the Earth’s equator and day and night are about equal. Yes, summer is officially over. It is time to begin thinking about cooler days, fall decor, […]

Ever-Lovin’ had his 50th Pampa (Texas) High School class reunion. “We’re the class of ’63. We’re the best there’ll ever be.” Was the chant throughout the weekend. And I must admit. There were some very impressive members of the Pampa High School class of ’63. For years and years, we have given Ever-Lovin’ a hard […]
“1000 bottles of polish on the wall. 1000 bottles of polish. Take one down – ???? – 1000 bottles of polish on the wall.” (The connection is weak, but that is how I feel when I have to select nail polish.) There are so many choices. I walk into the nail salon, and then I […]
The last roses of summer are blooming. (Although I know there will be more.) Seeing the various stages of blooms on this Tahitian Sunset rose made me run for my camera. Yes, it begins a coral bud. As it opens, it becomes pink with a yellow center, and then it fades to white. I am […]
This will be a short post tonight, but I wanted to share with you one more project at Buckner International. While our gang from First Baptist Church Richardson was sorting shoes, there were several other people preparing gifts to be sent to Peru for Christmas. These volunteers filled knapsacks with toys, clothes, and school supplies. […]
