Family Vacations & Disc Golfing
Only 43 days till our daughter’s wedding and we are on a family vacation. Yikes! Dear hubby planned it and I’m very thankful for his efforts. It may not be the best timing but we didn’t want to miss our annual family trip that we started doing 2 years ago. Two years ago we went to Carlsbad Caverns and had quite a few hilarious moments. Last year we visited Colorado but sadly, I never wrote a post about that. On my to-do list though! This year we traveled to Utah. We ditched the motor home idea after our New Mexico trip since the reality didn’t meet up with the expectations…

Spending Time Outdoors
If you’ve reached middle age, you’ll know what I’m talking about when I say those years cause a mysterious happening in your body and those extra calories that you used to consume and burn off with little effort, instead decide to stick around and show themselves as extra pounds! The struggle is real is it not? I had determined that Russell and I really needed to take up a new hobby of hiking. It’s free, it’s good for us and nature is just plain beautiful. The only trouble is I decided that when we were going into Winter and I’m not a huge fan of cold weather or at this…

An Unforgettable 50th Birthday Celebration
Just this week I turned the Big 5-0. Half a century old. The Golden Jubilee Birthday. I don’t feel as old as it all sounds and it just seems incredible to think about all the years that are behind me now. I was spoiled royally this year with 3 different birthday celebrations and even now as I write this, I am on a getaway with my hubby in Sedona. What a blessing to have such thoughtful people in my life that would do these things for me. I’ve been contemplating writing a letter that someday my children might be given. A letter that expresses the many ways I’ve seen God…

Practicing the 5 Love Languages
More than likely you have heard of the book The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. In print since 1995, this book has really made an impact in people’s thinking. The book states that there are 5 emotional love languages and that we need to express our love in the language that speaks the most to our spouse, keeping their emotional love tank filled. It’s when their tank starts getting empty that our spouse may feel unloved and problems can start to arise in our relationship. To refresh your memory, the 5 love languages are: Words of Affirmation Acts of Service Quality Time Gifts Physical Touch I started wondering what…

Finding That With God, It Really Is Enough
Life’s situations and circumstances can sure throw you some curveballs at times. I think when we are walking in the Lord, we are targets for the Devils wrath and he wants to do anything he can to derail our walk in the Lord Jesus. I certainly never expected to go through some of the trials that the Lord in his wisdom has allowed. They’ve been hard and oh, so difficult but He knows and cares all the times I have cried out in my bitterness and despair. Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? Psalms 56:8 I have found great…
