Snow Day with Snow Dog
It is a snow day without snow. I have to say my disappointment was significant, but not as much so as Bella’s. (Our Siberian Husky) The sheer coldness of the air had her heading, once again, for Alaska. I am convinced it is her goal in life to run in the Iditarod. Each year when … Continue reading Snow Day with Snow Dog

You finally realize that ‘no news really is good news.’ You gave up on trying to schedule a convenient time to make calls and now wake up at all hours or drop everything when the phone rings.

Not to put things off until someday…after you retire…when you have more money…or when you have more time...when the kids are grown…when you finish school…when you … Continue reading What’s Your Excuse?
The Lull
I sit and I reflect. It is my tradition, to take a stolen moment and think on Christmas as it relates to life. It seems to me this year that the babe in the manger is being pushed aside, buried and minimized. It is as if popular opinion thinks that if we aren’t talking about … Continue reading The Lull
Freeze Frame
“Nashville is colder than a milkshake.” It’s what my grandmother used to say, and this past weekend it was true. The temperature dipped low, the wind whipped, making it feel even colder. But even the frigid temps could not diminish the warmth in my heart. Aaron graduated from Belmont University with a business degree in … Continue reading Freeze Frame
