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. 😁👍

The one with the creaky floors, the crooked porch rail, and enough “character” that five of the windows refuse to open on a nice cool morning. 🙄 And apparently, they’ve brought in a big-time decorator from...

Well hello there, Reader, The Willow Creek Christmas Home Tour is just a few weeks away, and if you’ve never been, let me tell you… this is not one of those “walk past a house and admire a wreath” situations. No ma’am. Every year, Sarah and Kevin Shoreman of Shoreman Realty pull the whole thing together with the kind of grace that makes the rest of us suspect they’ve got a secret team of elves working out of the back office. Families all over town open their homes for the evening, decked to...
