Which Bridge Lady are you?


I don’t know about y’all… but I sure do love the Bridge Ladies 😁❤️

Nelda, Glory, Lora, and Ethel Sue—each one brings something different to the table:

wisdom, dreams, plans… or just enough sparkle to keep life interesting.

And the more I think about them, the more I realize something:

We all carry a little bit of each of them.

But usually… one rises to the surface.

The way you see things.

The way you love people.

The way you show up when it matters most.

So I got to wondering…

👉 Which Bridge Lady are you most like?

I put together a quick little quiz for you—and I hope it encourages you on the journey. ❤️🤗

When done put your answer in the poll and I will email you the results. 😁👍

Hey there, Reader Last Sunday, you met a few of Ethel Sue's new neighbors. They are a hoot, aren't they?! 😁 But I also left you in Meadow Ridge with three missing decorations.

The mystery comes right to her own front porch. Welcome to Meadow Ridge. It's the new 55+ community (some of y'all would call it a subdivision) tucked inside Willow Creek, next to The Grove and the new golf course. Close enough to Main Street that you can still run in for coffee and be home before it cools. Before...

Hey there, Reader, We made it home from Arkansas this week, and my heart is full. This Thanksgiving, we - Edmund, Sammy and Jake - made the trip to visit my son, Jeff, and his family. (Sammy is his oldest.) This year, Edmund, Sammy and Jake came along too. Jake offered to drive, and Edmund happily settled into the front seat to "help navigate." That left Sammy and me in the backseat and we started catching up before we even left town. What project Sammy is excited about. What God has been...
