September 17, 2020
As many of you can imagine, breakfast at our house is pretty much catch as catch can. Truthfully, that describes most any meal at our abode.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

“Mirror, Mirror on the wall,
Who’s the fairest of them all?”
“Well, it ain’t you, sister!

Through the sun room Window
June 12, 2019
I do most of my writing in the sunroom. It is by far my most favorite room in the house. Until the weather is warm enough, I keep all my house plants in this room. I have orchids blooming most of the winter and greenery everywhere. The best part is looking out the windows. It is a six-sided room that used to be shaded by a 300-year-old oak tree. The tree was destroyed by Irma.
We Earned the Happy!!

Well, reality has hit. James turned 37, and as we were celebrating, he informed me in 3 years he would be 40.
As his Mama, that was bit of a shock. I still think of him as 7. In 17 days I will be 70 years old.
Hey Y’all | Kicking off your heels
April 15, 2019
It has been another one of those weeks. I have no social life, but my calendar is always full. This past week it was funerals and funeral home visits. Three services in two days. I noticed something about the women who were in attendance. The younger the females are, the higher the heels.
Hey Y’all | Today is the Day!
March 12, 2019
I am a nervous wreck! And I have to get an article in for my Hey Y’all column today. I had several other stories that I have been developing for this month’s Hey Y’all, but terror seems to be my theme of the day. I am writing to you on the morning of my book launch. With several people pushing from behind, I have written a book. Life is Hard. Soften it with Laughter.
