February the Season of Love

We all, from time to time, have talked about love, kindness, and peace, especially in February. But If I had a magic wand, I would make every month, December and February, when the world seems more aware to be kind to one another, to give to others. Just think what a lovely world it would be. So, what would you do to spread kindness in the world if you had a magic wand? I would love to hear from you.

What Am I Up To!

 What have I been doing? The holidays were beautiful, as spending time with family and friends makes your heart sing for joy. It was time to hit the road and travel to see family. I have always enjoyed car rides, and I still do. It brings back memories of my dad driving all six of us kids with momma to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving or the fun Sunday drives to other cities. My husband and I enjoy the car rides and seeing the scenery change from one countryside to another. Listening to songs and sometimes singing along. The animals enjoy the day regardless of rain or shine.
Traveling I find very inspirational.

July Updates 2022

Two sides of a celebration

In my newsletter, I briefly stated the importance of the 4th of July.

Yes, independence day but also my mom's birthday. Mom loved having her birthday on the 4th because of all the fireworks and parades. One of my brothers would decorate his golf cart, and mom and other family members would join her, and I was the camera lady. The fourth is not the same, but I am glad she is experiencing the greatest love with our Lord.

Road Trip

Summertime is here and this Texas girl with her husband and Remi, our dog, took off to visit family members and friends. Remi had her first long road trip. We covered Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, DC, and of course, Texas. Remi loved it. Remember to buckle up your pets.

Family

I mentioned one of my hobbies is genealogy. I enjoy being a member of Ancestry.com and have been a member from the beginning. I did the DNA and have connected with cousins I did not know I had, and we have privately shared pictures. One cousin I was able to meet on this road trip. When we met in person for the first time at a restaurant, we had to laugh because we both were wearing a red shirts with white stripes. We had a great time, and you would have thought we knew each other our whole life; we hated to part as we had so much to share. I encourage everyone to check out their family history. There is nothing like family!

My New Book!

I am super excited for you to see the cover. The Illustrator Nancy Hoover did an incredible job with the story. You are going to love her work. Also, mark your calendar for August 2nd for the book launch. Join us on the Texas Sister Press Facebook page. There will be prizes and guest author.
