April 11, 2021 Yesterday, I read Joe’s lesson and wondered how in the world I would find a picture that related to smell. This morning, my Facebook memories delivered with two images I can still smell, along with a reminder of why Joe worried about me in our kitchen! I present to you “A MeltedContinue reading “What’s That Smell??”

April 4, 2021 A picture’s worth a thousand words, right? I am SO THANKFUL to have photos of Joe, but getting those pictures of him was sometimes a chore. More than once I’ve run across a picture I wanted to use in this blog, but could not because Joe’s sneaky self had crossed his eyesContinue reading “The Story of the Cross”

March 28, 2021 Two of my favorite things are in this picture: The boy and the path. “On the path” was our code for home. If I called Joe to see what time he wanted supper, he would respond with something like, “I”ll be on the path by seven.” Or, if he needed me toContinue reading “On the Right Path”

March 21,2021 Every Sunday, Joe either made us almost late or just plain late to church. Cross my heart, I was always ready before him (and the poor fella is not here to deny this statement…which he absolutely would!). I KNEW I would change clothes ten times before I decided on my outfit for church,Continue reading “You’re So Lucky”

“You’re holding up pretty well for an older woman.” -Joseph M. Price It was at a funeral that Joe and I reconnected almost twenty years after our teenage courtship. I mean, where else, right? We exchanged pleasantries and a brief hug after the service. I was standing in the frozen foods section of Walmart thatContinue reading “It’s Worth Hearing Twice”

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the picture of my own contentment… This was our wedding. This is my absolute favorite picture of us. I was perfectly content in that moment–the joy on my face reflects the peace in my heart. Now, here’s the rest of the story…as much as I love that day,Continue reading “Contentment: There’s No Place Like Home”

Did you know Joe was a pilot? Did you know he was a poet? An excellent cook? A fantastic guitarist and singer? A handyman? A good dancer? A fireman? An avid reader? Did you know my mouth was hanging open in this picture because he pinched my behind? In addition to all of the thingsContinue reading “You Can Do All Things”

Pizza and jelly beans are my love language. Well, actually my love language is “words of affirmation” (If you haven’t read about the five love languages, you need to Google it…it’s pretty accurate!), but Joe knew he could dig himself out of a pretty deep hole with a sweet little note, a trip to PizzaContinue reading “Do the Right Thing”

What you have is a record of God’s love for you, His desire to be part of your life, and most importantly, a set of instructions to guide you through every step you take during your time on this earth.

“So Pretty,” he said. Joe smiled as he looked into Ronda’s eyes and whispered those words, gently brushing back the curl that fell in front of her face….AND THAT IS HOW THE ARGUMENT STARTED. 🙂 Not really…but those were fighting words at our house! You see, what started as a playful competition in which oneContinue reading “When You Don’t Understand”
