We have missed getting to go to Buckner International this summer. During the summertime, they have many youth groups volunteer to sort shoes. So we took the summer off, but Sweet Mother of Pearl – it was so good to be back. For those who do not know, Buckner International sends shoes all around the […]
Home tours are one of my favorite things. Homes are like fingerprints. They are unique and individual. (Come to think of it, sometimes I see homes that remind me of model homes or furniture store displays with no personality of the owners. Oh, they are pretty, but….) That is not the case with Jorene’s home. I […]
Hot Rod entered sixth grade this year. Sweet Mother of Pearl – Where did the time go? There are mixed feelings I can not put into words. I miss the little boy, but enjoy the maturing young lad. Do you understand? It is complicated. Did I get his picture on the first day of school? […]
If I were a religious person, I might say that “it has been impressed on my heart” that my teapot situation is out of control. But that is not necessarily true. I do not think my collection of teapots as sinful – just excessive. I have enjoyed the teapots and have used them many many […]
Hot Rod attended Theater Camp at Pearce High School this week and was part of the production of Honk. Basically, Honk is a musical version of the Ugly Duckling. The children had five days of Theater Camp, and then it was show time. What they accomplished in five days was amazing. The pictures are not […]
It is very hard to say goodbye to a friend – especially a friend as dear and special as Robert McKelvy. I have known Robert for many many years. We were classmates at Andrews High School, and we enjoyed participating in the dramas at school. Robert was a class ahead of me, but our paths […]
One good thing about Hot Rod’s music academy is that they have plenty of recitals. I really do like that. This recital was different. It was at the High Street Antique Mall in Plano. Inside the mall is the Chocolate Angel Tea Room, and they had a little corner of the tea room set aside […]
Being with Super Sister, Cousin Janie, and her daughter Amy in Stephenville was FUN. Janie’s grandparents were long time Erath County residents. I believe her grandfather was a principal in the Rocky Point community which made him a rather important person. I remember going to their home as a child. On Amy’s list of things […]
Hot Rod has been attending VBS and Music Camp this week at First Baptist Church Richardson. They had an open house, but there was a failure to communicate. We did not know that the fifth and sixth graders got to meet in the youth building. Being in the youth building made them feel like teenagers. […]
I love this! Pretty flowers beautify our alley. Sunflowers are some of my favorites. When my daddy died there was a large sunflower growing in the backyard. Since that time I have always had a fondness for sunflowers. How welcoming to see these in the alley. This climbing rose bush is really in the yard, […]
