My life is blessed with a wonderful husband of 47 years, Darrell Lee Selke. Together we have had quite an adventure. A wedding in 1970, four kids; turning into a Gibbie and a Poppie with 13 grankids ...and staying joyful as we truly give God glory for such abundant blessings all along the way. We've had our challenges as all families do, but life is good because God is good. I love being a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. We're excited about the future and looking forward to the next adventure God has for us,just around the corner I'm sure.

Sunsets and such...

Sometimes while writing to a dear friend, I find myself thinking; "Now wouldn't this be a good blog entry?" Such is the case with my latest musings over the beauty of a sunset....




It's those little moments that make life so special, don't you think? Living in the country where our cozy cottage faces the West, we so enjoy the most beautiful sunsets. My sweetheart and I sometimes sit on the tailgate of his truck and look out beyond the open field across the road. There in the distance tiny sparkling lights begin to twinkle above the treeline that runs along the Brazos River. The sunsets are exquisite as the day says 'good-bye' and night says 'hello'. I never get weary of the brilliance of changing colors; oranges, pinks, and yellows behind the gray and white of drifting clouds. Reality thrills my heart as I hear, "Be still and know that I am God"... as we sit quietly together watching beauty, created by the hand of God. Lovely sunsets.
