Well, far be it from me to say, “I told you so.”, but… Do you remember this post from August of 2011? I may actually have the gift of prophecy. Just sayin’. lol I am so blessed that God moved Gretchen Jester right into the center of “my universe” in 2010. She is a [...]
I almost started this post with the sentence, “Last year, was a crazy year”, but then I realized, every year is a crazy year! lol We don’t plan it or even wish it, but every year brings it’s share of life changes and harried scrambles to adapt to them. Granted, last year, and the beginning [...]
I’m sitting next to my husband’s hospital bed, this morning, and I am rejoicing!

Our kids get so excited, anticipating their gifts, that Christmas can come and go without them realizing how much they already have, the blessings they’ve already received and the real [...]
I’m having so much fun with the Softness Worth Sharing program from Kleenex! Have you found the specially marked packages at your store, yet? Our local Walmart has started putting them out, this week, and I’m stocking up for cold and flu season, plus taking advantage of the codes on each package to send a Kleenex [...]
Agree with it or not, in January, our lighting options are going to change. Don’t panic. No one is going to knock on the front door and confiscate your light bulb stockpile. :) But, manufacturers will no longer be allowed to produce the traditional incandescent bulbs we’ve all been accustomed to. Standard 100-watt bulbs have [...]
