I once saw "Beloved wife and mother" on a headstone and told my family that's what I hope they'll say about me! That would be a gracious plenty when I'm gone, but for now, in addition to being a wife of one man for 50 years (bless him!), the mother of two, and grandmother of 5, I write, paint, teach a women's Bible study, and love to read and work out at the gym we own! Might be a bit much to put on my tombstone! Oh, and what's with the name of this blog? It's the title of my first post to the blog. But it's also because I hope that a little of the sweet smell of Jesus will emanate from each of my postings.
