Sitting in a rocker in front of Cracker Barrell in Alma, AR, I almost wrote 1993 instead of 2023 at the top of my journal page. This spot between Tulsa, OK, and Little Rock, AR, has been our family meeting place for years. I was waiting for my brother to drop off my mom this time.
Many a summer or spring break adventure started there. Sometimes, it was our kids going to spend a week with grandparents. Other times, it was me having some extended family time. And when you have as many cousins as me, extra time is needed.
So, what took me back to 1993? It was an eventful year for us! We were married in May, moved in July, and had a baby the following December. And that’s when it all started. Traveling the highway between Arkansas and Oklahoma, sometimes stopping in the middle for a drop-off or pick-up.
And this time, the end result was great-grandma meeting great-granddaughter for the first time. 💗

Aw, you’re both so welcome. I went to an Aunt’s 80th bday party last night. We lost my uncle, her husband, and it was the signs of life all around that helped her enjoy the night. I thought of you all then, too. Like family. I’m so glad you have the baby time and some time together. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💛💛💛💛💛
