Yesterday as I made coconut cream pies from Grandma’s old recipe, I thought about her and the legacy she left behind. Nothing was more important to her than family. I can’t begin to count the number of times I heard her say, “I have the best family.”. She wasn’t bragging; she honestly believed that. Over…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 23 (belated)
I got behind on my thankfulness posts so I’m going to catch up today. I took this photo on our land the other morning while walking Shiloh. We’ve had a beautiful autumn – warm days, cool nights, and some of the prettiest fall color we’ve had the past few years. I am so thankful for…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 22
Happy Thanksgiving! This evening we had our big family meal at my cousin’s house and we just got home a few minutes ago. We had such a nice time, as always. Good food and lots of laughter. I had meant to take a lot of pictures but never got around to it. My mom had…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 21
Tonight while we were watching tv and enjoying hot-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies and coffee, David’s fire pager went off. We have a neighbor down the road who is diabetic and requires assistance fairly often. David had put in a very long day and was finally getting a chance to relax but he didn’t hesitate. He…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 20
I had a few errands to run today including a stop at the grocery store for the last items needed for Thanksgiving. I had seen people on Facebook complaining about how busy it was at Walmart. I never shop there but I wasn’t sure what it would be like at the grocery store where I…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 19
David and I watched Part I of “The Dust Bowl” tonight and while I thought I knew a lot about that time period, I was still struck by just how disheartening it must have been. I remember my grandmother telling me about how the dust seeped into the houses despite all their efforts to keep…

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 18
We were in New Orleans two Sundays and then missed last Sunday after our return because we had been out until the wee hours the night before. So it felt really good to be back today. I lost count how many hugs I received. It was great to sing with the choir again and wonderful…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 17
Today I am thankful for a lazy day just hanging out with David. We slept late, watched the USC football game, napped and messed about online. Now we are watching our friends performing at the Tropical Isle via webcam. Everyone needs a day like this once in awhile and it’s especially nice if you can…
