More of Me
Instagram
I found my new home. I could absolutely live here. Amazing!At Rudy"s with friends listening to Pat Coil and band.Happy birthday, Jackie!!Celebrating Joel! Happy birthday, Buddy!!It's been a year. I ain't sayin' it ain't been a good one. It has been miraculous. But it didn't come easy. Two hospital stays, Jeff's aorta tear, a stroke, brain surgery, a son's divorce, a son's wreck, a daughter's breakup, two weddings, three babies, a church move, Mom's funeral, the yearly ballgame, and the launching of my book. Amazing. Hard. Rewarding. Sad. Aching. Satisfying. Hopeful. Bittersweet. Draining. God-supported in every step. #goodbye2022 #hello2023 #comesitaspell #godblessuseveryone🙏 #prayersfor2023From our front porch to yours, merry Christmas. Come sit a spell and share in the magic.-
