I noticed that last year, I took a yoga class at Rebel Soul Yoga on Sunday! It’s good to start the week with centering, prayer, and healing the body. The instructor discussed the importance of smiling, laughing, and knowing that your true self is filled with joy and kindness. Parish and I rode our bikes…

Precious Memories
2024 Summer Vacation Day 1 “Together”
This week of June 29 – July 6, we are in Oak Island (The Lambs) and Southport, NC (Parish, Anna, and Valentina). I’ve decided to share our memories through one word each day. The first night together brought joyful laughter as we ate pizza at the Southport house. We both set up our homes, then…
1st Annual Wisteria Festival
This year, we had a bumper crop of Wisteria on the pergola. We purchased the Wisteria about 19 years ago and replanted it when we completed renovations. The replanting challenged its growth; some years brought more blooms than others. This year, we started an annual festival to celebrate nature, God’s world, and our home. Parish…
Thanksgiving 2023
I traditionally write about our holidays and the Hebb get-a-way in the Fall to keep the memories alive and record recipes, happenings, and the children. Another fantastic Thanksgiving! We had Thanksgiving lunch earlier this year. We served lunch at 11:00. Parish, and I did a lot of prep work starting on Tuesday, and he got…
Precious and Fleeting
I continue to read my book “Tuesdays with Morrie.” It’s always the context. The context of the story provides more profound meaning to what we know is true, along with applying the context to your life story and journey. Morrie teaches Mitch that the most precious thing you can give someone is time and being…
5th Annual Ohana Hebb 2023
This year, we tried something different! Instead of heading to a State Park in October, we decided to enjoy the beach and stay at First Landing State Park. We wanted to enjoy the warm weather at the beach, so we went in September. Our dates were September 15, 16, and 17. The weather was BEAUTIFUL…
I’ll Fly Away
While in Southport, NC, I visited the farmer’s market and so enjoyed the varied artists and items for sale. One of my favorites was a vendor who sold repurposed glass designed into a picture or scene inside a repurposed frame. She shared that she goes to yard sales and estate sales to gather items and…
Victoria Louise Hebb Lamb
July 13, 1989. My baby is turning 34 years old tomorrow. I remember finding out I was pregnant and having an ultrasound. Her little heart pumps away and says, “I’m alive in here!” I don’t know where the years went. Truly. I used to get annoyed at old people saying, “Don’t blink!” Or “You’ll miss…
Southport, North Carolina, 2023
I love to keep a journal of our trips. So often, we will return to my blog to research events and places and go down memory lane. My daily journal writing while away has been my spiritual growth. Hyperlinks are included if you want to explore the area. July 1, Saturday This was a travel…
Today I decide to be
As vacation comes to a close, I anticipate the transition. Maybe that is why I woke up at 4:30 a.m. Nonetheless, I was ready to face the day, so I got up and fixed my cup of coffee in the new mug we bought at the farmer’s market. I changed it up this morning and…
