BLOG – WHAT A RIDE

How can it be? How can Alex be old enough to ask a girl to marry him? We love her and couldn't be happier. Just can't believe how our sophomore at Georgia Tech is a soon to be husband! Big hugs, Grammy

Grammy: How do you like your lobster roll? Ameenah: Grammy, I am SO GLAD we're not vegetarians!

Tonight, we had such a great time listening to Springer's orchestral concert. What a talented group of kids. And of course, the handsome, gifted, percussionist in the winds orchestra belongs to us! A strong leader with a big heart! Can't get any better than that! So...

Today, I’d like to shout out to the world what a wonderful husband God gave to me! My Jim! I’m sure you can imagine our last month… almost daily doctors appointments, specialists, tests, ultra sounds, CT scans, MRI’s, PET scans, waiting, wondering, questioning and...

Oncology report is still incomplete. It's not in my lungs! Yay! The PET scan showed cancer in two lymph nodes where the lump is but it also showed intake in another small spot in that vicinity. That part is still inconclusive and will require some pathology discovery....

A friend called to pray with me and at the end of her prayer she told me about a teaching she had heard and enjoyed. It was about the fact that during conception, the communion of the sperm and egg is quite chaotic. All of the components of both parties are being...

Cancer news update: Laughter is good medicine! A couple of days ago, my anger and questions turned to sadness. I was really having a blue day. I didn't want to bring down Jim, so when I felt the waterworks starting, I would slip out to our sunroom where I write, sob...

My sweet husband just brought me tulips, a mixed bouquet, candy and ice cream which I'm certain he will be all too happy to help consume and a beautiful card that had onions inside. Cried my eyes out! That guy of mine is the card King! Feeling blessed!

Good morning, beautiful Saturday in January! Feeling grateful. Thank you, God! Big hugs, D

Let's do this! Big hugs, D

My favorite date took me to Milton's for our last dinner of 2015. We had a lovely dinner followed by a movie, "Concussion" and then home to spend some time praying. We thanked God for all His many blessings in  2015 and we look forward to all of our new assignments in...

We had our non-traditional tradition of baked salmon, spaghetti and meatballs and a huge apple, pecan, gorgonzola salad. For dessert, caramel bread pudding and cafe au late. Everyone ate until they couldn't move, we opened presents and shared a lot of love and...

It's decorated, lit and beautiful! Happy Grammy

The Charlie Brown tree is officially up and decorated! About 19 of our family members and extended family came over. We had hot cocoa, cafe au lait, beignets, chocolate chip cookies and a host of other beautiful offerings brought by the family. Katie and Jon brought...
