It was moving day for my daughter, son-in-law, and precious grand-baby. This meant that Grandma and Grandpa, seriously, I can’t believe grand is referring to me and my husband.

Have you ever met someone who impacted you in such a way that it caused you to reevaluate who you were? It was random. During a “girls’ retreat week” Susan and I would be sharing a room. The first thing I noticed about her was that she was beautiful and not the teenage hot kind […]

Have you ever been given a gift that was way beyond anything you could ever imagine? A gift you couldn’t find words to express your gratitude for? As I write this I’m in Hawaii y’all! Or maybe I should say Aloha? It was a gift. First, a birthday gift from a husband to his wife […]
