My plane landed in Atlanta three days ago at a break necking pace and I have tried to rest but I too hit the ground running just about as fast as the plane landed.  My Tulsa trip was awesome and unforgettable.  But today, this Thankful Thursday, we were off to Kiwanis, where Winters was the guest speaker!  It’s been great to be back with the SONs and Winters. I must give him major kudos for keeping our lives together while I was in Oklahoma! He is a master juggler. But this Thankful...

My father was my Prince Charming and I adored him.  On November 10, 2010, my precious prince quietly left this earth to spend eternity with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Finally, mom just bought a zillion copies and gave them to just about everyone she loved, including...
