A Royal Anniversary

The famous date of April 29th will lock in Will & Kate’s marriage vows tomorrow. We share this special date with them in our family!

On April 29, 1995, our daughter got married.









To my amazement, her girlfriends motivated all the ladies attending the wedding to wear hats, because that’s what the bride likes...hats. I will never forget walking down that aisle and seeing all the lovely spring hats! You would think it was England. Even I wore one.










Happy anniversary, Amy and Mark!

You will always be royalty to me.





Congratulations to Will and Kate.

Are you attending the royal wedding? Thanks to blogger friend, Beth Endean, I figured out my guest name: Lady Victoria Zipper Roy.

Here’s how you know your Royal Wedding guest name:
Start with either Lord or Lady.
Your first name is one of your grandparent’s name.
Your surname is the name of your first pet
Double barreled with the name of the street you grew up on!

What’s yours?

Book Review: Too Many Voices

It is one thing to visit a Women's Bible Study and admire the leader's teaching but then read her life story and learn she transitioned from a weed smoking Hippy to a powerful follower of Jesus.  I review Alane Haynes' new release, Too Many Voices/My Journey from Confusion to Clarity on my other blog, My Calm Corner, here.

Surviving Limbo

Image
If there was ever a place I never wanted to visit its Limbo.  No calm sea or happy dancing there in Limbo, just a boring pause desperate for a breakthrough.  Yet, I found myself there these last few weeks.
I’ve reached the limit for healing my left knee.  I can do no more until I have the right knee replaced.  My surgical knee compensates and I walk lopsided.  Plus it hurts.  My therapist, the standup comic, throws up his hands and says:  “You are in Limb-O!”
I set the date for another surgery.  That’s when the rigmarole began.   I flunked my chest X-ray.  I took it again and got the same result.  I felt like an outcast.
“You are inoperable,” they said.
I visited one doctor and then another.  I completed an echocardiogram. 
I wondered if my primary physician would release me for my very close surgery date.  Fear set in that something was wrong with me yet I felt great.  I didn’t fit the suggested diagnosis.  Why can’t life be smooth?

Scary Scars

A young trouble-lovin’ neighbor boy managed to scare me back in my preschool days.  My mom sent me to our neighbor’s house where Freddie hid in the shrubs and jumped out at me wearing his Frankenstein mask loaded with scars.  I screamed every time.  

I’ve had to forgive Freddie for harassing me when these memories pop up.  I’m sure he grew up to be a swell guy and if I could remember his last name I would look him up on social media and yell at him.

Those Scars! The scars on the mask looked real to me, a six year old timid girl.  What is it about scars that creep us out like that?
When I think of scars, I think of pain.  I don’t like to see people suffer. 
Scars are areas of fibrous tissue (fibrosis) that replace normal skin after injury. A scar results from the biological process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues of the body. Thus, scarring is a natural part of the healing process.     Wikipedia
