I’ve heard of people who grew up in Texas enjoying the Blue Bonnet flowers that grow there and announce spring. A friend of mine who has lived in Louisiana for a long time grew up in Texas. She had been very sick for a time, and was dealing with discouragement and a little depression. This … Continue reading My “Blue Bonnets”
Memories, Blessings, and Treasures
In the past couple of years our family has gone through several of our members having illness that required the rest of us helping or at least praying them through. My daughter had colitis twice year before last. Roy’s mom had hip replacement that went bad early last year. It took six months for her … Continue reading Memories, Blessings, and Treasures
New Beginnings
As I try to get back to our “new normal” and reprogram to fit my life now, I have a new perspective on my writing. My mama passed away in January of this year after a long battle with a rare auto immune disease, and the probable brain cancer, and lung cancer associated with it. … Continue reading New Beginnings

I can still see your beautiful face And feel your warmth in my arms – Not in the way I had anticipated, But … Continue reading Flowers Today
Catching Up and Making Changes
I didn’t realize it’s been so long since I’ve written a blog post until I looked at the last date a minute ago. My, how time flies. These past few weeks, I’ve been making some changes in the novel I wrote last November while taking part in National Novel Writing Month. The final title will … Continue reading Catching Up and Making Changes
Balm for Hurtful Times
There are times when I wish I could just curl up in a ball and stay there; just totally disengage with reality at that time until there is a different, easier reality in my life. I’d like to just stay put and not think about much of anything. I catch myself saying over and over, … Continue reading Balm for Hurtful Times
