I come from a long line of women who have emotional issues. I like to think that the bulk of those issues have to do with hormones. I can remember my mother getting “sentimental and blue” around her time of the month. You had to learn to stay away from her. It was so funny. … [Read more…]
Anyone that knows me know that I love to go camping. I do. If my life was the way I wanted it, I would live in a camper. I wouldn’t have to go anywhere. I just need to be able to live outside. Now, I’m not an “outdoorsy” type person. Maybe I am, I do … [Read more…]
The other day I was looking for some pictures. I have noticed in all of the pictures that I have scanned from my childhood that there are some pictures that I remember, gone. I don’t know where they are. I have missed them for years. Today with all of my pictures digital I yearn for … [Read more…]

Where do I begin? There are so many things that she taught me, I don’t think I could pick just one. She taught me how to be a friend. My mother was the best friend to so many people. She seriously cared about people. And people loved her. I will never forget that when she … [Read more…]
After church on Easter Sunday we were just hanging at the house before we went to Sunday brunch. At some point in time Jimmy hollered that he had a cow out and we all sprang into action. That’s what we do at our house. If you want to get somebody out of bed fast, then … [Read more…]
