We are a 70-year old couple who loves God and family. Newly retired, we're busy discovering the what now. 

​

                                         Jim (aka Papa)

Jim grew up on a farm and owned a framing construction company. Later he specialized in pocket door frames. HD Pocketdoor Frames now belongs to our son Mike. But most importantly, Jim's a kind, generous man with peacemaking gifts. 

                                         Dianne (aka Gram)

I'm drawn to the beauty of nature and life. I'm creative and nerdy. Mercy is my spiritual gift. I've worked in office administration and retired as a prolific Christian Fiction Author.

​

                                           The Family

Our son Mike and his wife Heather live in Phoenix and their children are Makaila, Elijah and Chloe. Toby joined the family last October.

​

Our daughter Rachel lives in Houston with her sons Vanson and Ethan and their dog Scooter.

Jim and I are each other's best friends and enjoy traveling and exploring so here we are.

This won't be a perfect blog, but it'll be real.
