It was so exciting to have a gathering of the WOW (translated – Women of Wallace) + Gene today. Wallace Elementary was my first teaching assignment in Richardson ISD, and I have such fond memories of teaching there. I consider these ladies dear friends. By the way: Gene was our fearless leader and encourager. Last […]
Within the last week, we have been to two Golden Anniversary receptions for two super couples. Fifty years ago, I enjoyed being a part of my cousin Alene’s wedding. Her marriage to David was exciting. Aunt Lois made – yes, made by hand – Alene’s beautiful wedding dress. The bead work took hours and hours […]
Super Sister mentioned that people were already pinning Christmas on Pinterest, and this would be a good time to share the Christmas Teas. On top of that, Hobby Lobby already has some Christmas displayed. (What happened to displaying Christmas after Thanksgiving or at least after Halloween?) Taking everything into consideration, I figured it was high […]
High on the plains there’s a school so grand. Sure you know Andrews High is its name. And that’s the truth! It has been a week, and I still haven’t written about our good time at the Andrews High School Reunion. Andrews has a city wide reunion which means that anyone can come on any […]
What a wonderful day of celebration. Tonna and Winston have been married fifty golden years! Love their wedding picture. Good looking couple! Sweet Mother of Pearl, we are not old enough for this to be happening to our peers. I remember going to a golden wedding anniversary somewhere up in the Panhandle when I was […]
Good friend Janet hosted The Living Stones Bible Fellowship Class for their almost monthly class meeting recently. It is always a pleasure to be invited into her beautiful home (Janet and Robert do amazing texturing and painting themselves), and she is a wonderful hostess. Sweet, petite, always put together Janet pays attention to every detail. […]
There is a party in the making. Queen Elizabeth is celebrating her Diamond Jubilee. For your information, that means she has been Queen of England for 60 years. Oh, my! Don’t you think that deserves a party? Official portraits of The Queen taken in the Centre Room in Buckingham Palace in December 2011 © Royal […]
The Royal Couple celebrate their first anniversary in April. Here is how we celebrated last April. We held a “Royal Wedding Shower Tea”. Each guest came dressed in their English best – hats, gloves, pearls, etc. Jane is the gardener in our group. She came as an English gardener. So clever and cute. I hate […]
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they my see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 The Mothers and Others Luncheon at Anderson Mill Baptist Church is held on the Saturday before Mother’s Day each year. A couple of weeks ago, I showed you some […]
First impressions are always important. Judy had an Union Jack flag that set the right tone. Waving in the wind next to the front door invited everyone to come and experience a little bit of England. Loved, loved, loved it. Details- flag, crown garden stands, flowers by the front door, and a wreath on the […]
