Blame it on Pinterest. My fall board is full of gorgeous fall decorations. Blame it on The Christmas Tree Shops – They were selling pumpkins in early September. Blame it on the weather – It turned almost cold. Fall was in the air. Blame it on the Dallas Arboretum and their 50,000 pumpkins. This year I […]
Ron and Evelyn’s had the party of the century or as Number One Son said, “The half century – since it was a Golden Anniversary.” It was lovely, elegant, comfortable, and an all around wonderful experience. The Golden Anniversary Tea was held in Arlington Hall (1939) at Lee Park in Dallas (1903). It is in […]
Telling you about Buckner is so much fun. Members of the Living Stones and Albers Men’s Class from First Baptist Church Richardson have a good time, and we feel – no -we know we are doing something worthwhile. In September, we sorted school supplies to go to Peru. When we were volunteering in October, Alex (the […]
It was an honor to attend the ordination service for dear friend Claudia. Claudia was the teacher for the Living Stones Sunday School Class (back then it was called Sunday School) for several years. We loved having her for our teacher. She is very intelligent (has a PhD), but at the same time Claudia is […]
I am sure most of you already know – I am not a crafty person. Much as I would like to be crafty – It never seems to work. The Buds (friends) still remind me that I could not even put baby’s breath into arrangements for Number One Son’s rehearsal dinner centerpieces. You just had […]
Oh my! This is too hard to believe. Hot Rod is now in the 5th grade. This is getting serious. I am bawl-eyed. I don’t want him to grow up. I won’t allow it. How will I stop it? I am all for him having the Peter Pan syndrome – “I won’t grow up – […]
Buckner – September 2012 What a joy and blessing it is to volunteer at Buckner International. (Please visit this site to learn more about Buckner, their programs, and how you can help.) Some of us felt so good about working at the Buckner Humanitarian Aid Center a month or so ago that a small but […]
One of my oldest and dearest friends is Jane. She is quiet about her service to others, and what she does is so meaningful. We have known each other since Bruton Bends days in the early 70’s. She, John (John is really neat also.), lived in a house, and we were in the apartments across […]
Maggie is a Boston Terrier. She is a dog, but don’t tell her I said that. She thinks she is the ruler of our kingdom. (Granted it is a small kingdom, but never-the-less she is the ruler.) Maggie arranges the pillows on the sofa to HER liking. Do you think Kongs could be considered pacifiers? […]
Once in a blue moon! That is today! August 31, 2012. When there are two full moons in one month, the second full moon is called a blue moon. This phenomenon happens only about every two and a half to three years. The next blue moon will be in July 2015. It is interesting that […]
