Throwback Thursday 1/29/26

Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in. All the talk about bad weather recently reminded me of 2011. We experience the Tulsa Blizzard. Fun times that I will never forget.

We are throwing it back below. This is a post Dad published on February 1st 2011. 

Dad would not have been excited about this week’s weather! His weather is perfect I am certain. Who knows, maybe just maybe Dad is loving snow in Heaven?!

I will let Dad close out. See you tomorrow.

 “We are in the midst of a historic blizzard in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As of 3:00pm the snowfall is at an all time record of 13.8 inches and it is still falling. The wind is gusting up to 40 mph and will be for quite a while so the blizzard is still on. As you can see from the pictures below the snow is drifted several feet. The BoggsMobile has drifts of several feet on one side and the door has 2 feet in front of it. It won't be going any where for quite a while and the Cheap Jeep is stuck as well. We are warm, well fed and hunkered down. There will be no church of course. 

So far we are having fun.

Pause and Praise 1/28/26

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by to visit. I saw a sign the other day that made me pause and praise. 

Dad always said, “A worshipper is a thinker!” This sign caused me to think and worship. I am beyond grateful! Thank you, God, for answered prayers!

Yes, I remember the days, weeks, months and years that I prayed for what I have today! God answered those prayers in the manner they needed to be answered. 

He has not changed in 2026! I am going to keep praying for the things that I am praying for now. I believe they will one day be answered prayers!

When I think about what I have been through. I have overcome by the grace of our Almighty God. I have been blessed abundantly! 

I know you could say the same in your life as well. Friend, let me encourage you today: keep praying! God is not a respector of persons. He will answer your prayers too!

Thank you for reading!

Ezra Daniels 13th Birthday Party Pics

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for coming by our, neck of the woods. It is great to have you visiting!

On the 13th of January, my cousin Ezra turned 13. I wrote about him HERE in this post.

Later that week, we were able to gathered with family to celebrate Ezra. He is a fine young man! I blinked and little Ezra is almost grown. 

We had fun it was so good to spend the afternoon with our Morgan clan. I will close with some pictures from Ezra’s 13th birthday party. 

See you next time.

Winter Storm Fern

 Hey Friends, 

Odie here today. I hope you are staying warm! I escaped the wrath of Ferm. Here's the only snow that we saw this weekend in Orlando. It was projected on the ground. 

I will soon be boarding the Carnival Freedom for Singing at Sea 2026. 

Today begins this year's Singing At Sea cruise, which is the 50th anniversary!  Michelle Bostwick is my travel companion this year. We are ready for music, sunshine, good food and fun. 

I have blog posts scheduled for this week. Hopefully, everything goes up according to plan. I will be away from signal most of the week. I am going to soak up the sun and vacation. 

 

Mom sent me pictures yesterday of the snow in Waynesville. It is hard to know exactly how much snow landed at our place. Snow likes to drift there. Mom's overall guess yesterday afternoon was 11 inches. 

I am happy that I am gone! It is beautiful but I'll just look at pictures. I will close with Mom's pics. I did snap one from the doorbell yesterday morning. 

See you later!
