This Memorial Day we are thanking God for everyone who gave their life to serve our country. We also thank Him for all who are currently serving, who have served and for their families.
Our nephew, Wyatt shared this image of his grandparents tombstone, my precious father in law, Lieutenant Commander Phil G. Olsen, Naval Aviator and precious mother in law, Barbara Jean Olsen.
This day reminds us to never take our freedom for granted.
“Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”
John 15:13
@JaafarSource Thank you Arlo, it does remind me how helpful it can be to give children good and safe opportunities to be empowered to learn through work.
Priceless necklace! Despite the passion, hours and sweat equity that went into to making this piece of jewelry at 8 years old, it never sold because I charged too much! That was a powerful lesson! While unpacking boxes of treasures, I just now found this necklace that taught so much about understanding and meeting the needs of my customer.
Our mom is a testimony to the power of a praying mom! No matter how grown we are, she never stops praying for her children, and her children’s children and their children. We have all experienced miracles through Mom’s prayers. In some cases the results are instant, yet most are beautifully realized over time. Mom never gives up. She keeps her eyes on the Lord. She sets her alarm at noon each day to specifically pray for her family.
My beautiful sisters, Mary and Cynthia and I are blessed beyond measure by our mom.
To all the moms out there, your prayers are powerful! Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day Mom! I love you!❤️
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
Philippians 4:6
“pray without ceasing;”
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Happy Birthday to our beloved son, Erik!
Erik, since the day you were born you are steady, resilient and determined. You do everything with surpassing excellence. Dad and I are so proud of you and thankful for you. During one of our most difficult times you ran into the fire and your commitment to God, your character, integrity and brilliant work helped bring us through stronger than ever. You are an amazing leader, husband, dad and human! We love you so much!
Happy 32nd Birthday!💖
We all have days when life seems to stink! Sometimes there is no option for a shower. A little secret…I keep a travel size kathy ireland fragrance spray tucked in my Grundens!
Keep Mom smelling great this Mother’s Day!

Amazing weekend at the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Meeting!
My son, Erik and I loved our time with our dear friends Irv and Susie Blumkin and their fun family as well as Debbie and Jerry Bosanek who hosted a beautiful brunch! Congratulations Greg Abel and Ajit Jain on an excellent event.

Happy Birthday Mom!!!
For countless reasons you are my hero!
You are wise, loving, tough in the most awesome ways, fun, adventurous and forever kind.
We thank God for you and we all want to be just like you when we grow up!💖
A beautiful trip down memory lane! The first photo is the childhood home of my mom in Highland Park, California. 9 kids and so many adventures! Our daughters Lily and Chloe planned this special day for their Grammy. We didn’t know the childhood home had recently been demolished, but the front porch and frame were still intact. We visited the church where my parents were married, the schools they attended and homes of their early marriage including the first homes I lived in! Mom’s stories vibrantly came to life as she shared in the places they took place.
A meaningful and very fun day!💖
I won’t be “dog”matic about this, but I do believe animals go to heaven! Though Scripture doesn’t explicitly say, there are verses in Isaiah, Revelation and Genesis including the fact that of all creation, only humans and animals have the breath of life!
