THERE REALLY IS AN ANGEL ON MY FRONT PORCH

WHEN I WAS THINKING UP A NAME FOR MY BLOG, I KNEW IT WOULD INVOLVE

AN ANGEL IN ONE PART OR ANOTHER AND THEN IT CAME TO ME...

THE ANGEL IN THE PICTURE ABOVE HAS BEEN THE GUARDIAN OF THREE OF OUR

FRONT PORCHES FOR OVER 20 PLUS YEARS.

BACK WHEN WE LIVED IN BROKEN ARROW, OKLAHOMA, AMY HAD CANCER

AS A CHILD. WHEN THE HOME CARE NURSES WOULD ASK IF OUR ADDRESS WAS

ON THE HOUSE, I WOULD SAY, "YES! BUT....THERE'S AN ANGEL ON OUR FRONT PORCH!"

THUS I DECIDED THAT WOULD BE MY BLOG NAME:

THERE'S AN ANGEL ON MY FRONT PORCH

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NEW TO MY BLOG, I WILL EXPLAIN WHY MY URL IS:

WHEN AMY BECAME SICK OVER 17 MONTHS AGO THE LORD GAVE ME THE

SCRIPTURE:

"I WILL GIVE YOU BACK YOUR HEALTH AND HEAL THY WOUNDS," SAITH THE

LORD.

~JEREMIAH 30:17

TEN THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME:



THIS SHOULD BE FUN

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A LITTLE GREEN HOUSE IN MY BACK YARD

AND I WOULD LOVE TO OWN A LITTLE FLORIST WITH A FLOWER CART

OUT FRONT....IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IT HAD BEEN TRANSPORTED FROM FRANCE

I AM TERRIFIED OF HEIGHTS AND FLYING

(this is way higher than it looks....it was the Royal Gorge looking down from a

safer place)

I LOVE ART ON WALLS SUCH AS WHAT MY FRIEND DORIS, CAPTURED DURING

HER TRIP TO SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (please forgive me if I spelled the name wrong

of this beautiful city I would love to visit)

I WAS WILLING TO WEAR A GREEN WIG TO THE OKLAHOMA STATE FAIR 2008

SO AMY WOULD NOT FEEL OUT OF PLACE IN HER ORANGE WIG......WE WERE THE

ONLY ONE'S WEARING WIGS BUT IF WE HAD A $1.00 FOR EVERYONE WHO ASKED

WHAT PART OF THE FAIR THEY COULD BUY WIGS LIKE OURS (as if I was the type

who would normally wear a green wig to the state fair....but then it does look far

too normal) WE WOULD HAVE EACH WALKED AWAY WITH ABOUT $300.00....

WHAT A MOTHER WON'T DO FOR HER DAUGHTER.

IT WAS TOTALLY LIBERATING HOWEVER!

I LOVE HATS...I COLLECT HATS...I WISH MORE WOMEN WORE HATS

AND GLOVES. I AM A SECRET HAT MAKER AND LOVE DOING IT



I HAVE MADE THE HATS FOR TWO MUSICAL PRODUCTIONS FOR OUR



COMMUNITY THEATER










I LOVE CHICKENS AND ROOSTERS....I COLLECT THEM BUT I WOULD

LOVE TO HAVE A REAL HEN HOUSE.










I COLLECT EVERYTHING I CAN ON LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD BECAUSE



BOTH IN NINTH GRADE AND FRESHMAN YEAR OF COLLEGE, MY HANDSOME



AND ONLY SON...PLAYED THE WOLF IN THE PRODUCTION



"INTO THE WOODS."



I DON'T TALK MUCH ABOUT MY SON RICHIE (Amy and I are the only ones that can



and do call him Richie, besides his Aunt and my sister, Sherry, who calls him



Richie Bear--he looks forward to it secretly) BUT HE IS A GREAT, MARRIED,



HARD WORKING MAN WHO NEVER MEETS A STRANGER, AND IS NATURALLY



FUNNY WITHOUT TRYING.



AMY AND RICHIE ARE LIKE TWINS....BORN 7 YEARS APART



THEY ARE CLOSE











I ADORE AND LOVE PICTURES OF VICTORIAN CHILDREN LIKE IN THE



PICTURE ABOVE. IT SHOWS TRUE BEAUTY, GRACE AND INNOCENCE




PICTURES LIKE THE ONE ABOVE MAKE ME SMILE AND FOR A MINUTE




FORGET HOW MEAN PARTS OF THIS WORLD CAN BE






I HUNGER TO GO TO PARIS, FRANCE AND THEN THE COUNTRY SIDE OF




FRANCE. I WANT TO SEE THE BEAUTY WHERE THE TOURISTS DON'T TRAVEL





I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO THERE AND THE PARIS FLEA MARKET OF



COURSE.









I LOVE UMBRELLAS OF ALL KINDS AND COLORS......



WHEN I SEE AN UMBRELLA I DON'T THINK OF RAIN FOR SOME REASON.....



I THINK OF FUN AND THE MUSICAL, WHERE THEY SANG......



SINGING IN THE RAIN



I ALSO COLLECT CANES......I HAVE ONE THAT I BOUGHT AT AN ESTATE



SALE, WHEN I VISITED MY SISTER IN PHOENIX......THE OWNER OF THIS



CANE HAD BEEN THROUGH GERMANY AND EVERY LITTLE VILLAGE THEY



WENT TO, OBTAINED A LITTLE METAL TAG AND WITH TINY, TINY NAILS



NAILED THE LITTLE TAG TO THE CANE...THE TAGS ARE FROM THE TOP TO THE



BOTTOM OF THE CANE





I FEEL PRIVILEGED TO OWN IT
