THANK YOU to whoever left the Diet Coke LIME at my front door today. You’re speaking my love language…and with a twist of lime is the best!

Happy 72nd Wedding 💕Anniversary 🎉 to my parents! Today as we took them out to lunch, the waitress asked them the secret to success in marriage. My mom’s answer: “You take it one day at a time knowing some days are good and some days are bad.”💗 My dad’s answer: “Saying ‘Yes, Dear.’”😂 Please fill the comments with your own secret to success in marriage.

Today my parent’s home for 63 years has officially sold. (They are about to celebrate their 72nd anniversary!) I spent the first 18 years of my life in this house in Eaton Rapids, MI. Since leaving this house, I’ve had 13 other addresses in 5 different states and am not a particularly sentimental person when it comes to houses. However, there is something about seeing the SOLD sign in front of my childhood home that is different than all the other houses I’ve sold. I’m grateful for all the great memories this house holds, for how much joy it brought my parents, and for my wonderful siblings as we all worked together to get it cleaned out.

What a fun day to return to Gashland UMC to preach and present them with a Missouri United Methodist Foundation ministry grant that will benefit A Turning Point and their cold winter shelter housed at Gashland. I’m so proud of this partnership of the church I used to pastor and the organization where I now serve on ther board! I was also reminded today that Gashland has some of the best people I’ve ever been in ministry with…pictured are a few, many were in worship! Love you all!

Most people make soup or chili during a Snowmageddon. We are having a Pringle-fest instead! So many flavors, so little time! We hope to discover our favorite by Monday.

My daughter told me she and her staff were dressing up as the Spice Girls for Halloween. I asked her to send me a picture and this is what I got! Thank you for making my day Dr Kate Hamm!

Today I’m with the Methodist Nomads! This is a fabulous group of retired Methodist who travel the country in their RVs doing mission projects. I’m at their annual meeting giving a Putting Your House (RV?) in Order workshop and talking about their endowment that is held at the Missouri United Methodist Foundation. For the record, I DID NOT CAMP with them. I found the only hotel in Shelbyville, TN instead.

I’m grateful for the wonderful man who married me 36 years ago today, the ways he’s filled those years with so much laughter and crazy moments*, and that we have the gift of growing together.

*Crazy moments like when our mortified pre-teen/teenage kids couldn’t believe we wanted our picture take IN PUBLIC in those hideous matching outfits! Little did they know that we would find even more ways to impose parental embarrassment on them for years to come!
