I can not resist the urge to give a shout-out to something exciting happening at First Baptist Church Richardson. In 2015 First Baptist Church Richardson will be 150 years old. I have mentioned that on Lanabird before, and it is a BIG DEAL. Not many churches survive 150 years. The beginning of the celebration […]
Going to Mercy Street is always a blessing. On this particular night we met a young man who had recently moved to West Dallas from Mississippi. He was so friendly and was trying to make the best of his new situation. Another boy was proud to show us his report card. He had a grade […]
I am S0-0-0-0 excited. In an earlier post, I mentioned my obsession with certain wreaths. Super Sister came to my rescue. I got an early birthday present today. Super Sister (Who can make and do ANYTHING.) made me a Christmas wreath, and it is the most beautiful wreath ever. Now, I can not wait for […]
I am not crafty. It is the truth. I will try almost any recipe, but trying to paint, scrapbook, make a bow, or do almost any other craft project can put me in a dither. While sitting in a craft class, I have been known to hyperventilate, break out in a sweat, feel light headed, and wish […]
It is Veteran’s Day, and for those that have served and those who are serving, I share these pictures. While cleaning out the garage a few weeks ago, I found this picture of my beloved Uncle Jimmy. He was my father’s baby brother. The date on the back of the photo reads “Christmas 1944”. I was […]
The Bible is filled with references to gardens, plants, sowing, reaping … and the list goes on and on. Shelley Cramm looks at these verses with a gardeners heart, and has created a hybrid devotional/ study Bible based on the gardening truths found in God’s Word. This study Bible provides daily Bible readings for an entire year. […]
It took awhile, but we finally got to the Arboretum with Hot Rod. Of course there were pictures taken, and I want to share. When we were at the Dallas Arboretum with Pretty Baby, the mums were not in bloom. On this visit, they were gorgeous. Look at the azaleas. They were in full bloom also. The pumpkins […]
How convenient it was that Halloween was on a Friday night this year. Oh, how I dreaded the day after Halloween each year when I was teaching. Have lessons to teach – fuhgeddaboudit. Sugar highs and tired children do not make for a good day of learning. The Grands came over for trick or treat […]
Getting to share my friend Mrs. Ralph’s home has been a treat, and I do thank her for letting me share. Her home is gorgeous any time of the year, but it seems to thrive in the fall. Other post have visited her porch, dining room, living room, and breakfast room. Click on the names […]
Be still my heart. I LOVE Mrs. Ralph’s breakfast room. Oh, I am not saying anything new. I tell everyone how much I enjoy being in this room. The above image will provide you with an overview of this room. Harlequin wallpaper, paired with the tartan plaid wing back chairs look so good. The side chairs are […]
