well, Heavenly Oaks has been keeping us sooooo busy, that I'm shocked I haven't written in my blog since February!  Gee, so much has happened, I'm not even gonna try to tell all.
Mostly good stuff, some family illnesses - all are well, or on their way to better now. Or at least they're learning to live with their situation.

Miss Sparkplug is doing good. She went with Tom and I to Hot Springs, Arkansas to 
visit Gerri and Reece, my sister and her hubby. Was a great relaxing time, and a few boat rides, fishing ( didn't catch any) and a swim off the pontoon boat.

Now to try and catch up with mail, bills, etc. from being gone almost a week.
Such is the life of busy folks.

Have a wonderful day. Enjoy each moment, and be thankful.

Verse of the Day: 
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble.
Psalm 46:1

Angel Wings

Today I missed my Dad.  He's been in heaven almost 4 years, but today was his Birthday.  He would've been 94.  Spent this morning at church. This afternoon boating on a local lake.  Dad liked boating... I think he'd have enjoyed the day.  Through all this heat we've had clear skies. Today the clouds rolled in.  These clouds I photographed reminded me of angel wings.... sort of a "sign" from my Daddy.  Thanks Dad, I appreciate your creativity and love. Give your parents a hug if they are still in your life. If they have passed on, give someone else's parents a hug, they will like it, trust me, there are never too many hugs in your life.

Life Course

Life changes. Tragedies. Trauma. But, I am still here. Moving forward. The photo in this entry is part of a letter to my family, kind of explaining "who I am" now. Their concern is for my happiness, and I sincerely appreciate that, and their love for me.  In recent years of going through illnesses and deaths of those close to me, I have gained a renewed vision of Life.  I am more accepting of the unknown in life. I am willing to take the chance at "love": be it simple friendships, or something more.  Some say, don't move too fast, take your time. Some say, get out, do all you can.   Well, I sort of combine the two.  Alone time is important, but also I need the comfort and warmth of others in my life. What is thrown at me now is simply, "added into" the mix.  I do not "fret" over trivialities. Don't get angry. Don't worry. I am grateful for time spent with family and "old" friends. I am equally accepting of "new" re

Things Get Sideways in My Brain

Sideways View    Do you ever have those times when things just get kinda "cross-eyed" in your head?  It sometimes happens when we least expect it. The day can start out just fine, and before you know it.... everything heads south. Some of the symptoms are:  impatience,  ill temper,  confusion, misunderstandings, or simply "stupid" thoughts. I had one of these kind of days this week.  I won't even acknowledge the day it was... that isn't important.  What's worthy of noting is that most of a day was "lost" to unintelligible thinking.  Now, just to clarify, I had attended the funeral of a man I had known since I was a kid.  He lived a full, Christian life, friend to all he met.  The eulogy was excellent and fitting.  However,  my mind chose to dwell on the "death" part of life, instead of the celebration of life itself.  In the past few years I have been, unfortunately, widowed... twice.   The good fortune of this:  I had found true love
