Hey Y’all | Home Cooked Meals
July 19, 2017
You all know how I feel about cooking. I really don’t mind cooking, as long as you do it. A kitchen was included in our house, but it was strictly for resale value.

Who is she? What is her name? I know you have one in your life. In this day and age, we all do.

I usually try to make these columns a little humorous. After all, our lives have enough bad stuff, why not laugh as much as you can.
The Emotionally Traumatized Cat
February 28, 2017
Any of you who know my son James will understand that Snell and I are very lucky to have only four cats in the livestock pen, AKA our house. Each and every one was a foundling and has his or her story. All of their stories deal with jerks– humans.

Did you meet your spouse or significant other and just know “this is the one”? I have to tell you a little story about Snell and me.
Tis the season
December 2, 2016
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas – and it was just Halloween! I understand that there are only eight weeks between Halloween and Christmas, and that during that time we have to squeeze in Thanksgiving. Retailers make the majority of their profits during these weeks. I do understand all that. However, I hate Christmas shopping. I really do.
Happy Birthday, Daddy
November 17, 2016
My father, James E. Ratledge would be 100 years old this November 21. After he died, Mama said he never left. He was still sitting in his recliner, waiting for her. I believe it. I think Mama is sitting on my right shoulder and Daddy is on left one. Both are whispering in my ear.
Trick or treat
October 20, 2016
My husband Snell said that people did not dress in costumes and go Trick or Treating when he was growing up. What a terrible shame. My best friend and next door neighbor Dotti and I lived for Halloween. Our mothers, however, did not. Well, maybe a little.
