Installing piers destroyed my beloved roses. The roses I had purchased for $1.00 a bush. They were beautiful, but crowded in the little bed by the garage. The story I am about to tell is admittedly overkill. My previous roses I picked from the leftovers of the season. They were beautiful, and I loved them. […]
Upwards Basketball is a wonderful program whose goals are to: Teach sport skills and values Offer family-friendly schedules Allow kids to make new friends Provide equal playing time Hot Rod has been in this program for four years. Now he plays on the big court. He plays a good game of defense. The games are […]
Hot Rod began guitar lesson less than three months ago, and he has already had a recital. Sweet Mother of Pearl. It was so exciting and wonderful. They do recitals differently than they did when we had recitals. Back in the old days, recitals were nerve-racking. We wore stiff dresses that we were not use […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! The neatest thing happened. Sweet wonderful Erin is the daughter of friend BB. It is a pleasure to count Erin as my friend also. She lives a bazillion miles away in Virginia, and we miss her. Sometimes she sends me emails, and it always makes my day. Today I got an email, […]

Oh Where, Oh where Has my platter gone? Oh where, oh where can it be? It is oval and brown and goes on the shelf. Oh where, oh where can it be? (To the tune of OhWhere, Has My Little Dog Gone. Please humor me and pretend it works.) Even the dogs on the shelf […]
One of the things I like to do with Jorene (my dear friend from Andrews) is to go to Barnes and Noble across the street from Bass Hall in Fort Worth. After the symphony practice, we go to the bookstore, get Starbucks coffee and a treat (This time it was a delicious “rustic apple tart”.), […]
Buckner International is in the business of sharing shoes, socks, and other supplies to those in need. When we first arrived at the Humanitarian Aid Center, Steve (on the right) greeted us.
