Granddaughters' tribute to their grandmother

I've always admired Jeff and Beau Bridges as actors. Actually, I didn't see many of their father Lloyd Bridges' movies (nor his television films), but have always read that the Bridges family was a 'real' family. Jeff Bridges' daughters' wrote a very moving tribute about their grandmother Dorothy that Jeff shares on his website.

Dorothy Louise Simpson Bridges

September 19, 1915 - February 16, 2009

"She was such a creative person and inspired us all to be creative," said Jeff, recalling that while he and his brother and sister were growing up, their mother devoted an hour a day to each of them to do whatever each child wanted to do — from "making each other up like clowns" to "playing spaceships."

Praying for Carolyn

Our God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast,

And our eternal Home!

Beneath the shadow of thy throne

Still may we dwell secure;

Sufficient is thine arm alone,

And our defense is sure.

God be with our friend Carolyn - and her family

Husband is a GOOD Cook!

He IS seasoned just right!

Creative

Isn't this a lovely card my friend made and sent??!!

My sister captures beauty and peace

My sister sent snapshots of this lovely view she has from her front porch. Now, in the spring, when everything is green and vibrant, she can look out and capture tranquility and beauty and the photos will look somewhat different - but still have that peace so evident in these pictures. Oh my . . .

Note: my sister is beautiful and there is an aura of peace that surrounds her - I so love the snapshots and the thought of my sister - the similarities.
"Peacefulness is an inner state of calm."

The importance of Education

I'm hoping that Chili's Restaurant was busy all day yesterday. Ten percent of the cost of each person's (or group's) meal on February 24th will be donated for scholarships - right here in Seguin. Students who have completed the D.A.R.E. program and who qualify will be eligible for a college scholarship. Hooray for Chili's! Hooray for those who supported this fundraiser (and satisfied their appetites as an added benefit!).
