{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

{Retirement has been BUSY}

  Well friends, RETIREMENT hasn't really hit me yet though I did spend a few mornings in front of a nice warm fire drinking coffee and living the retirement life! The weather was perfect and I did enjoy it. However, I decided to do some decluttering beginning with my SHE-SHED! MERCY! I could have owned my own little thrift store I am afraid. I finally began to see a light at the end of the tunnel yesterday. I got rid of TONS!!! It felt so good to purge! Believe me, that is saying a lot for someone that LOVES to save everything. But...I felt it was time to declutter my life. Now onto other projects.  I did take a day off though and I spent the day with my oldest grandchild and granddaughter. I love spending time my grands but rarely do we get to spend time one on one with each other. Each of the six will have their own dates with Nana of their choosing.  Duncan's, Chili's, and Movies was on our list of things to do. We did have just enough time to browse in one store. We h...

{I Am Retired Y'all!}

  It sure is a bittersweet time but I am surely looking forward to my adventure with the Lord. I wanted to share a few pictures with my friends. I have received so many phone calls, texts, cards and gifts this week that have just brought tears and joy.  Turning in my office keys of many years was hard! But, Jeremiah 29:11 is surely reminder that God has set the plans for my life and that I will trust.  I only had the blessing of serving alongside Pastor Scott for nearly a year and I pray God's blessings upon him and his family as his journey continues. However, he is a quick learner and learned that I was the BOSS! LOL! The former pastor and his wife that hired me 22 plus years ago even tuned in to the recognition with a video. It melted my heart. I will never forget interviewing with Bro. Edsel in his office and then I was interviewed by the personnel team.  Lastly, Bro. Edsel's wife Judy interviewed me at a luncheon. Bro. Edsel trusted her discernment of me totally...
