After several days of technical difficulties, I thought this particular blog was destined not to be or maybe I was just looking for an excuse...I had promised some "lighter" blogs and I really looked for some material this past weekend. I wanted to tell you about 400+ curlers and four hours to make a curly perm (I'm not sure if I look like Shirley Temple or a poodle), shopping trips, the newest book, or the antics ...

Had I been blogging one year ago, this would have been my post:I remember having breakfast with my family, ALL of MY family (even my Granny made the long journey to NC) at my brother’s home in Shallotte, together in North Carolina for the first time in maybe six years. My heart skipped a beat, maybe several beats, tears came to my eyes, when I heard the tragic news…surely there was some mistake. This close-knit family ...

When Jeanette first mentioned Riverdance, I was reluctant - 2 1/2 hr drive (one way)an auction on Saturday, and on my excuses went. But I am so glad we went - it was the break I needed. Our adventures started trying to find a parking space in downtown..hmmm - we choose Fountain Square because it was the same street as the Center. Well, at least, it was when we entered. The elevator took us up to the Square where we ...

A few weeks ago I was priviledged to watch the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie "The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler". This amazing story tells of Irena, a young Polish woman in World War II, who saved 2,500 Jewish children from tiny babies to teens from death by smuggling them through the Polish Underground. When the Nazis walled up the Polish Jews in order to keep them cornered for shipment, Irena would visit the ghetto ...

Those who knew me best, know that I am not usually the outspoken crusader who boycotts, rallies, or prepares petitions for just causes. I am more of a background supporter.But this year, my heart has been stirred by story after story..some so scary and unbelievable that I want to deny these things are happening TODAY in the world in which I live.We know that Christians in other nations are suffering and even some are ...

Through the years of many vacations and several moves, our family has discovered some favorite places to eat...I mean we will travel hours and miles out of our way just to stop by...these restaurants are just that good!! I still remember Sambo's pancakes and Mililo's Pizza from St. Paul, MN, O'Grady's in Jackson, MS, and so on. Just to prove my point, my brother drove hours out of his way to get Richard's Steak Sandwiches ...
