Are you tired of the same-old same-old?  Are you tired of your life and all the “STUFF” in it? For those of you who know me well, you know I usually think that “more is more” and for the most part, I think stuff  is a good thing. Yet at the same time, sometimes “STUFF” must go!  Sometimes more stuff is just that-  more “Stuff”. Well, fear not, there is great news for us!  It’s a new year and that is a perfect time to say “out with the old and in with...

Saying goodbye to Prince Charming

Posted by on Dec 3, 2010 in Family, Parents | 3 comments

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. And he was welcomed in the arms of my mother, the reigning Queen of his heart, who passed away 15 months ago. Daddy treated me like a princess.  He did things a prince would do for his princess. He bought me a horse when I was just 6 years old, built my brother and I the best puppet theater any child could ever want.  He loved us.  He...

In Oklahoma, we live at the end of a long wooded, windy, gravel road.  It is peaceful, serene and simply picturesque.  At the end of the road sits John’s parents’ home.  We reside in the Cottage, as we like to refer to it, about 200 yards from them.  The view is spectacular and I have always said that if you can’t find peace here you simply can’t find it anywhere. I have thought of myself as a city girl.  However, I was raised on a farm for the first 9 years of my life, with horses,...

Saying goodbye to my best friend

Posted by on Sep 16, 2009 in Family, Inspiration, Parents | 3 comments

My grandmother used to tell my mother that she ( she being my mom ) should not get mad at her, because she was her first friend and her best friend.  Grandma Scheiderman wasn’t talking about the chummy or buddy friendships.   No, this was the forever friendship.  The friendship that endures through thick and thin .  The “I will stand by you forever friend” and “I will believe in you always, even when no one else does friend.” My mother had carried on Grandma...
