Last night, on the 4th of July, Bill decided he wants to see fireworks somewhere. After a very animated discussion (that means argument in case you didn’t know), we finally agreed to take the dogs with us. I wasn’t willing to leave them home in the yard, since there could be people shooting off their … Continue reading A Lesson in Humilty
Just for Fun
Snowbirds
I was born and raised in the South and I haven’t ever moved away. I have visited other beautiful regions, but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere but here. I drink iced tea year round. I eat boiled peanuts from roadside stands. I sit in rocking chairs on the front porch to pass the time, … Continue reading Snowbirds
Life Outside My Window
I sit in my recliner today smelling of cherry eucalyptus and vapor rub. My hair is matted in the back from napping on and off all day. My red nose rivals that of Rudolph, and my chair-side table is overflowing with tissue, cough drops, and all other flu related items. I have my kindle, my … Continue reading Life Outside My Window
My Fashion Statement
This blog is entirely written tongue-in-cheek.... Boots are all the rage, and as the weather cools they come out in force. This year, I decided to get in on the fashion craze. My boot is made of warm and cozy fleece. It is midnight black with charcoal gray accents. There are no zippers, or buckles … Continue reading My Fashion Statement
My Artistic Adventure
Recently I had an adventure, and I know you will get a laugh out of it. It was late in the evening, after a long day. Turning to art to relieve some stress, had my wax on. The windows were open for ventilation, with music playing to create a soothing and calm mood to heighten … Continue reading My Artistic Adventure

If You Can’t Beat ’em…
I got a tattoo. Wait…don’t go. I have a reason. It started probably 6 to 8 years ago, when my kids…the boys particularly…began talking about tattoos. I downplayed the conversation, dismissing the chatter as kids enamored with a passing fad. Of course tattoos would go by the wayside, I thought. All fads do. In a … Continue reading If You Can’t Beat ’em…
Thank God for Car Guys
We have 6 cars. Yep, 6. That is 6 oil changes, 6 transmission fluid/power steering/windshield fluid checks. 6 brake checks. 12 bumpers, and 24 tire rotations/replacements. Let’s just say car maintenance is a huge budget item at our house. We don’t buy new cars. They are always used, and with each car that is totaled, … Continue reading Thank God for Car Guys
MacGyver in the Shower
My alarm sounded in the wee hours of the morning…just as it does every morning. Every time I wonder if working out this early is sane. I roll out of the bed hair askew, eyes only half open. As if on cue, Bella hops onto the bed taking my warm spot which prevents me from … Continue reading MacGyver in the Shower
Elephant Encounter
I have always thought elephants were cool animals. Ever since reading Dr. Seuss's, I Wish That I had Duck Feet as a kid, I have imagined how cool it would be to have a trunk. However, whenever I have gone to the Atlanta Zoo I have rarely seen an elephant. I am not sure why … Continue reading Elephant Encounter
