Happy Father's Day 2014!

-
It seems to me as if on Mother's Day,
Sunday sermons extoll mothers
and all their good qualities.
On Father's Day, we hear preachers 
telling fathers how 
they can improve
 their fathering.

In my experience, 
I have known many
WONDERFUL fathers
who love their children
as passionately
as those of us who are mothers.

Let me introduce you to just 
a few that I am most familiar
with.
Robert Leon Gibson
David's dad
Bill Aven
my Daddy

David Gibson
AKA as Ducca

Lynn Aven
my brother

Fili Hinojosa
our nephew-in-law
and the newest father in the family

Randy Taylor
my brother-in-law

another of Ducca
with his sweet Cora

Adrian Rollett
our son-in-law
Jeremy Gibson
our son

another of Adrian

Terry Aven
my brother

Michael Van Loenen
our nephew-in-law

Another of Jeremy

Not pictured but equally
good fathers in our family:
Chris Bailey, Vann Evans,
Andrew Evans, &
John David Burke.

I am so blessed to
have these Godly
men in my life.

Happy Father's Day!

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
