It's A Boy!

Drew and Jac arrived at our home today with pictures of our newest grandson. Yes! Another boy. If anyone is counting, that makes 5 grandsons for Larry and I. I am so excited to welcome this new little guy into our family. Congratulations Drew and Jac!

So Proud!

I can't even begin to tell you how proud I am of our daughter. Wife, mother, wonderful daughter, gracious and kind...the list goes on. Today she called with news. She is now a paid published author! She has been published previously, but now she is a true professional writer. Way to go, Sweetface!

Happy Veteran's Day!

Everyone Welcome!

My husband is building a deck onto our little tiny house.

I am so grateful...not only for the additional (outdoor) living space, but also for the fact that ALL of my family and friends can enter my home. Though I am not challenged with any type of disability (and at the moment none of my family members are either) some of my dearest friends are. I want them to have access to my home.

There are so many wonderful moments that happen at home! Lots of fun and laughter, snacks and a movie, comforting, meaningful discussions over a cup of hot cocoa or a plate of good food. We live and work, play and sleep, laugh and cry in the comfort we call home. Isn't that a blessing?

And now, I will be able to do that with all of my family and friends. Thank you, Larry! Thank you, Lord for my wonderful family and friends! May they find peace and warmth a welcoming Presence in this home!
