Davy Day Report 2026

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for the extra prayers, calls, texts and gifts sent our way yesterday. We felt your love and friendship on Davy Day 2026. Lisa Isaacs, the Biglieni and the Holdens brought us beautiful flowers. Click HERE to see this year’s Davy Day blog. 

We met up with Gran, Papaw Danny, Papaw Eugene, Mamaw, Theresa and Tommy at Alcapulco for Davy Day Dinner. We drank salsa and reminisced. It was the balm we needed. The salsa filled the cracks in our broken hearts.

Friday is my Aunt’s birthday. Alcapulco’s workers sang to her. It was so funny. Dad would have loved it!

Mom, me, Mamaw and Theresa wore Dads shirts yesterday. It is just a little tradition Mom and I do on Davy Day to feel closer to him. 

I will close with Davy Day 2026 pics. Year 3 is now underway since Dad went home to Heaven.

11-10-2026 2 Years

 Hey Friends,

I have written today's blog a dozen times in my head, and I am struggling to come up with the proper words. So please bare with me and my jumbled thoughts. 

Two years ago today my Daddy completed his earthly life. I still can not wrap my mind around it. Dad is forever home. 

We grieve because of his giant absence in our daily lives. How in the world has it been two short and long years at the same time?

On the other hand, we rejoice because Dad no longer has suffering, pain, battles or problems. He is whole and happy. I know he is worshipping his God that he had to go get!

Anybody who knew Dad well knows dates, time, schedules and memories drove him. He had to have a plan for everything. 

The moment this life ended he was healed completely. His cares and toils of this life no longer were important. He no longer needed a clock or calendar. 2 years no longer matters to him! 

On this date, Mom and I do not miss Dad any more than we do on a random day. His memory and influence is always with us. 

I refer to today's date as Davy Day. We pause to reflect more than on a normal day! We will join some family later today to dink salsa at Alcapulco in Dad’s honor. Then we will join our church family for revival. I will find my solace in God’s house, as my Daddy taught me. 

I long for the reunion that is soon coming in Heaven. I will run into my Daddy's arms! I cry here, but there we will not have tears of sorrow or joy!  We will worship Jesus face to face! Oh Hallelujah!!!!

We appreciate your prayers, friendship and support. You all have helped us survive mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts!

Thanks for reading. Come back tomorrow for a Davy Day 2026 Report.

Family Dinner Meetings

Hey Friends,

Last week, we met up with some of our family. I love any time I get to spend time with family! 

We met up with some of the Morgan crew at a local Buffalo Wild Wings. The visit was amazing, and the food was really good. 

Below are a few pictures from our family lunch. 

Then another time we got to meet up at Alcapulco som of the Boggs clan. We were going separate directions, but you have to pause for dinner. Family, salsa and great food made the rainy day super fine. 

It was raining, and I did not get a selfie with everyone. Steve, Karen, Mamaw and Papaw were part of this dinner. I will end with a few pics from dinner. 

See you tomorrow.

Christmas Worship At Anchor Of Hope 2025

Hey Friends,

We got to be in service last night with our dear family and friends at the Anchor of Hope. Pastor E.J. and Sis. Lacey Lamb invited us to do worship for their Wednesday night service, and we love being there with them! They asked us to do some Christmas songs. 

Bro. Michael Alexander helped us on bass and Bro. Carmin Dottry played drums from the DRPC Band/ Kelly Jo Band. They were both a tremendous blessing to us!

Sis. Jacqueline Coffman and her Mom, Sis. Renae, came to be in service with us. Jacqueline also helped with narrating a couple places. She does a fabulous job. 

Joining us on vocals at Anchor was Bro. Luke Hauri. It was a privilege to sing with Luke. He is amazingly talented! 

Pastor E.J. Lamb had mentioned to us earlier in the year that he would love for Luke to come sing at Anchor. Mom had a last-minute idea to see if he would come help us. He was willing and available to make a special trip to Ohio, and we had a blast singing with him. Luke, thanks so much for signing with us!

Here are a handful of pictures I snapped last night at Anchor. Most of them are quick selfies. It was wonderful to see all of our friends. 

I hope you enjoy. See you later.

We ended the night at Alcapulco. Good food, fellowship and salsa! That is a fantastic way to wrap up a great day.

4th of July 2025 In Pictures

Hey Friends,

Thank you for dropping by for a visit! I hope you had a great 4th of July yesterday. I sure did! It was a busy day but full of fun and family time.

The first thing on my list was to attend our Waynesville 4th of July parade on Main Street! Our small town has a fantastic parade, and I always enjoy attending when possible. 

I enjoyed attending the parade with several family members and friends this year. Also, we had many friends and family members in the parade! It was fun to cheer them on as they drove past us! The weather was warm, but beautiful. Thank God for a great day!

Then Lisa and I journeyed to a small Mexican restaurant called Acapulco. You may have heard of it.🤣 It was absolutely delicious yesterday! The food really hit the spot!

The time spent with my sweet cousin was even better! Things have been so busy, and we have just seen each other in passing.

Thanks to our friend Diane McCormic for the money to enjoy a great lunch! Diane is the sweetest lady. Lisa has worked for her for many years. 

Later in the afternoon, Aunt Theresa picked me up. Our cousin Rhonda and Landall Smith hosted a 4th of July cookout at their house. We had more fun and fellowship with family and friends!

To finish the day, we went back to my Aunt Theresa and Uncle Jay’s house. There, we watched the Waynesville fireworks. Their neighbor provided a great playlist of patriotic songs to accompany the fireworks! The Waynesville fireworks show is fantastic, and this was a wonderful way to cap off the day!

Now I hope you are ready for my 4th of July in pictures. I was unable to get any good pictures of the fireworks. You will just have to take my word for that. They were excellent.

Thanks for reading! for me it is already July 5, and I am ready to crawl into the bed.
