Prince Oliver

Our Prince Oliver will soon be 2 years old. I can’t believe it! I love to hear him say Mimi. He has been saying “Mimi,ummm” as if he is about to add something. Too cute!

Security Alarms…

As we were driving to our home in Oklahoma, we got a call from the security company that a burglary was in the process and our alarm was going off. Our son-in-law, Rodrick, met the police at the house and sure enough, someone kicked the door in and ran straight upstairs. All this person wanted…

A Clean Cell Phone

While traveling home on Monday from Oklahoma, I kept my cell phone in the front pocket of my jeans. While doing laundry on Tuesday, I couldn’t find my phone anywhere. I discovered my cell at the bottom of the washer while taking all the jeans out to put in the dryer. My heart sank. I…

Wrinkles? Me?

While visiting with our three year old April, she all of the sudden looked up at my forehead and said “Mimi, why do you have a crack right there?” She was pointing between my eyes. I said “That isn’t a crack, it’s a wrinkle.” She looked really puzzled, so I explained that as we get…

Vacation Time!

I’m at our home in Oklahoma visiting our kids, playing with grandbabies and hopefully getting some writing done. Oklahoma is beautiful. It has been raining most everyday.

Thirty Years?

I can’t believe it has been thirty years since highschool graduation. My friend Vicki and I went to the Midland High School reunion a couple of weeks ago. This was my first reunion. Vicki has been to all of them. She knew the ropes, so I went and followed her around. Vicki has the funniest…

A Thankful Heart

While visiting with our little three year old granddaughter a couple of weeks ago, (did I mention how precious she was?) she was telling me about some girls she knows that have computers and she isn’t allowed to touch them. So we discussed that for awhile and then she said “Oh, Mimi, I have nice…

He’s Safe!

Our son Nathan has been talking about sky diving for some time now. He flew to Houston to visit his cousin last weekend who is engaged to a young man that is a sky diver and photographer. I knew the jump was planned for 2 p.m. on Friday. I was praying for him all day…

No TV!

Well, today I decided I was going to do without television for one week. I always use my digital recorder to record programs that I like to watch. But, I have decided that I have really wasted a lot of my time watching programs that I could be doing other things. Some of my favorite…

Elegance

I saw an ad in a magazine and I loved the caption: Fashions change….but elegance never goes out of style. What does elegance mean? Polished; polite; refined; graceful; pleasing to good taste; as elegant manners. Having grace, beauty, and dignity; stylish. May we strive to be elegant and raise elegant daughters.
