I love summer and reading; and I do mean together. I was so disappointed all those years that there was no summer reading program at the local library for adults, when I took my then young children to sign up for it. Several years later, as my youngest was almost out of high school, I … Continue reading Another New Season!
Gifts From My Daddy
I wrote my Mother’s Day post about my Mama, so naturally I’ve been thinking of what to write about my Daddy for Father’s Day. The memories I made with Daddy are very different than the ones with Mama. This time of the year, we have vegetable gardening that can keep us busy at Mama’s and … Continue reading Gifts From My Daddy
His Name is Roy – part 2- Our Wedding
My family had been through several tough seasons in our lives in the couple of years before Roy and I got married. My maternal grandmother, Mamaw Holley, had a stroke, and although she got some use back she needed help for a lot of things. Our home burned to the ground destroying everything in it. … Continue reading His Name is Roy – part 2- Our Wedding
HIS NAME IS ROY

From when … Continue reading FRESH PRODUCE IS SUCH A TREAT

I’ve been thinking long about what to write for this post. There are so many things concerning Mother’s Day that I could write. I decided to share some memories of my mother, who I still call “Mama.” I was out picking dew berries this evening, and thinking about what to write, when I remembered long … Continue reading GIFTS FROM MY MAMA
Out of the “Swing of Things”
I’m sorry I’ve been out of touch on here for a week or so. We had no internet for a couple of days, and I got seriously off my routine of things. I also had a major project that took about 4 days instead of the one day I had thought it would take. We … Continue reading Out of the “Swing of Things”
GOD’S NATURAL THERAPY
I went outside and accomplished quite a bit for the time I had. As I went about my “therapy,” as I call it, the goals grew with new plans for another day. Now my Periwinkle is all planted, two of the three Elephant Ear bulbs are planted, all the containers I have planted are where … Continue reading GOD’S NATURAL THERAPY
