Goodbye 2022, Hello 2023!
I can’t believe January is almost over! The last few whirlwind weeks included a family Christmas rumpus, a wedding, a birth, a midnight hike, a retirement and more. Enjoy these photos highlights.

An Unusual Christmas Season
Back in May 2021 I wrote a blog post titled “An Unusual Mother’s Day Weekend“, well, now it’s a fitting title for this season as well! However, thankfully, this time we don’t have any tragedies. For me, what makes it unusual is basically, we don’t have a house! This unique...
Back in Texas and Full of Thanksgiving!
Dale and I are back in Texas! We had a good drive home from North Carolina. The halfway mark was Meridian, Mississippi, where we stopped and had dinner with my oldest brother and his wife. He has worked at the Naval Air Station there for many years. The next morning...
Washington DC, Part II
Dale’s sister, and our son and his wife, arrived on Wednesday to visit with us and see the sights. I had been given a list of everything they wanted to visit, so I developed a grueling, four-day itinerary. I didn’t realize how jampacked it was until we did it! But,...
Friends Stop by for a Visit
Earlier this week some friends who are living in Georgia came up for a quick 24-hour visit. We have known Judith for quite a while. She is one of the Harris Family kids, of the Round Rock Harrises. Ha Ha! She and Josh, and the baby, are missionaries! How cool...
Answered Prayers, Wedding Date Set!
We had one week where Dale, J and I would be together before leaving on our trip. I hoped, and prayed, that God would provide two things: a dress and a venue. He gave us both. All glory to Him for these gifts. If it had not happened, we would...
A Proposal is Accepted!
On June 3, atop a foggy mountain peak near Asheville, NC, our soon-to-be son-in-law asked J to marry him. The weather may not have cooperated but it didn’t seem to dampen the occasion. Dale and I are looking forward to hearing all the details when we see J later this...
When the Music Stops
While the music is playing, participants go around and around and around, preparing to take a seat as soon as the music stops. This “musical chairs” analogy comes to mind as I consider that every one in my immediate family is in the process of moving, or preparing to move....
Easter Weekend 2022
It was a beautiful weekend and so enjoyable. It’s good to spend time with friends and family, even though we missed having the Rusks with us. The weekend started off with a community-wide Good Friday service at Old Settlers Park. It was a beautiful evening a good turnout. J had...
We Have a Closing Date!
So it really did only take one weekend to sell our home. We listed our house on a Thursday, signed a contract on the following Monday. The inspector came on Tuesday, and today, one week later, the appraiser is coming. I can’t imagine our house will appraise for the actual...
