We welcomed three weeks early, our newest grandson.  He weighed in at 9 pounds 9 ounces ... yes, three weeks early.  This is a three generation photo of my eldest son, myself and our new 'Logan Justus Brown'.  I know my Dad is smiling in heaven.    Justin's first born, Jonathan, was my Parent's first great grandchild.  Seems fitting that Justin and Tara would come in with the last great grandchild. I hope my Mom gets to see him soon! This is Terry, my husband, Grandfather to b...

When I was younger, there were times I was really uncomfortable being alone. What I have learned in the past years is that silence and alone time builds a strength in understanding who I am, and that I can be comfortable in my life as this person created by God. Perhaps when we master the solitude of aloneness and quiet, we begin to find our self worth.   Too often in life today, we are pushed by our own thoughts and needs to finish or accompli...

Choose." Melina Marchetta I did not even want to ‘share my thoughts today’ after I read this…but I want to share the rest of the quote. “This hand says you spend the rest of your life with me," he said, holding out his left hand, "and this one says I spend the rest of my life with you. Choose." She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. She took both of his hands in hers and he shuddered. "I will die...

Today, Terry took me shopping to find something ‘dressy’ to wear to an event this weekend.  After loosing more weight since Thanksgiving, my closet only has jeans and tops in it… and some sweaters. Most every thing is swimming on me.  The word dress or any form of it emerging into dressy does not exist.   He was in full determined game, but we should have gone to the mall and not to the Southlake Town Center.    He was...
