About Me

My photo
I grew up in Southern Mississippi, and at eleven years of age I invited Jesus Christ into my life. Several years later, I married a young man from Oklahoma and we eventually moved to his home state. There we welcomed our first child, a beautiful baby boy. Four and a half years later, our daughter was born and unfortunately tragedy struck. Our daughter suffered brain damage during open heart surgery. In the years that followed, I was her care-giver. I've been stretched and remolded as I've journeyed through many trials. I was widowed in 2003 and as my husband was dying, he said for him one of the most difficult things was knowing that I would probably bury our daughter without him. I told him should that occur, when she died I would picture in my heart him seeing her walk and talk for the first time and that would bring me strength and joy. I can truly say that it did. His death started me on this journey as "a single wife." The first eight years of blogging are as a grieving, healing widow. Now the posts are as a newly remarried who has found life after widowhood.

Fun Times


 I love taking my grandchildren to garage sales.  They all seem to enjoy it. They can shop with quarters and dimes and have found many treasures!  Yesterday I had all four boys with me...I stopped at one sale.  The seven year old purchased a book, the five year old found a robo dog for fifty cents, and the three year old found a stuffed toy for a quarter.(most stuff animals wash beautifully) The picture is of the five year old watching TV with Robo dog laying on a pillow.  He also asked for a leash for his dog...so the dog wouldn't run off so the white thing is a ribbon leash!  Later we built a dog house out of boxes for robo dog and a bed for the stuffed animal.  By the way, robo dog dances and makes sounds when you rub his head or tickle him under the neck....two quarters well spent and a fun afternoon of memories.
