My niece Amy is getting married in a couple of months. It’s hard to believe that she’s all grown up. She was the cutest toddler. She had these curly blonde ringlets and beautiful blue-green eyes. And the sunniest personality, just…

A Little Sassy Update
I wanted to give y’all a little update about what’s been going on in my personal life. It seems like I’ve been blogging here and there and not really letting my readers know what I’ve been up to lately. No…
How Lucky I Am
Someone in California was sold the winning Powerball ticket. I can’t even fathom how their life is going to change. We didn’t even get one single number in the two tickets that we purchased. We had fun…

I’ve been walking by this single white rose since Friday. I brought it home from a funeral I attended and put it in a little vase. The husband asked the congregation to take some flowers with them as they exited…
When Did You Stop Dancing?
I went to a wedding this past weekend. It was held in the Dallas area where I lived for over twelve years. I made lots of friendships over that amount of time. It started out as a family trip. We…
Love and Head Shots
Well, I’m Back! Did y’all miss me? I sure did miss you! I was hunkered down in an undisclosed location for what seemed like an eternity! I had a goal and I reached it. I will tell you more about…
