Today was the greatest day in Mama's life a year ago today. Last year on January 6th, she stepped through that veil that we can't see through, but that lead to her perfect health and life eternal with her Lord and Savior. She worshiped and served Jesus here on earth, but now her worship is … Continue reading Through The Veil

The First Thanksgiving
That first year without a loved one is tough. Everyday is different with them not in your daily life, or at least where you could call them or go visit with them; share a laugh, a hug, all those things about when they were still here. Any birthday, anniversary, or holiday makes it even harder … Continue reading The First Thanksgiving
A Day Of Gratitude
Every year on August 23 I remember how my life changed drastically in nineteen seventy-two; for the better. A year before I had been diagnosed with scoliosis, which is a curve in my spine. The doctors had watched it until they decided surgery was a necessary choice in my case. The metal and leather … Continue reading A Day Of Gratitude

Mama's parents planted enough of a variety of vegetables for themselves, my aunt's family, and Mama's family, as well as some truck farming. Papaw Holley planted acres of purple hull peas and hired … Continue reading Squash Bugs Everywhere!

My mama passed away in January of this year after a long battle with a rare auto immune disease, and the probable brain cancer, and lung cancer associated with it. … Continue reading New Beginnings
Catching Up and Making Changes
I didn’t realize it’s been so long since I’ve written a blog post until I looked at the last date a minute ago. My, how time flies.

The final title will … Continue reading Catching Up and Making Changes
One Of Those Things I Cherish
I got some more of that news that just “tickles me pink,” as the saying goes. On one of those calls just to visit on the phone with my parents, I asked if there were any pears. Daddy had said before that there weren’t going to be as many pears this Fall. So I thought … Continue reading One Of Those Things I Cherish
