Here’s a summer quote for you. “Summer afternoon – summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” Henry James Hope you are having some great summer afternoons. I’ll have a couple of busy ones since I’m off early this a.m. to WV to be a mama’s helper for my grandbaby twins. …
Life Begins and Life Ends
Hi, everybody. Hope you are having as beautiful a Sunday as we are here. The weather is extra nice for the middle of August although the grass is beginning to turn brown in spots because of lack of rain. Are we ever satisfied with the weather? In the winter, it’s too cold. In the summer it’s too hot. In the …
The Twins are Here
The twins have discovered America!!! They were born on Monday at around 4 p.m. One, named Johnson after his dad, weighed in at 7 lbs 1 oz. The other, Matthew, weighed in at 6 lbs 14 oz. No wonder their mom was tired. Big sisters are excited and proud. They all got to hold the babies today, even the two …
August 11 – A Great Day to Be Born
My grandbaby twins are about to enter the world with a little help from the doctor. They are to be born tomorrow, Monday. They had said Tuesday, but now we’re going a little earlier. Their Mama can’t wait. And their daddy is eager too, not to mention the three big sisters or grandma and pa. I’ll fill you in on …
Happiness is a Form of Courage
How about some happiness quotes to lift the mid-week blahs? I don’t really have mid-week blahs, but I’ve heard some people say they do. One thing sure I won’t next week since my twin grandbaby boys should have discovered a bright new world by then. If I can get on line I’ll let you know their names. If Mom and …
The Outsider is Launched
Hey, everybody. Here it is Sunday again. Another week passed by and the calendar turned over to August. Has anybody told you how many days it is till Christmas? Well, don’t expect me to talk about Christmas shopping in August! I do well to Christmas shop in December, although the way my family is growing, I should think about Christmas …
A Hallelujah Story and Proverbs to Live By
Hi, my book, The Outsider, is officially released Friday, but some people have already gotten it and read it. The beautiful young model on the cover is one of those and thank goodness she enjoyed the story. Her mom says she may read it again. I guess that is the supreme compliment a writer can get – for someone to …
A New Book in the Mail
Another busy Saturday with an even busier Sunday coming up – maybe. The Sunday School kids couldn’t make it for the Panther Rock walk last week, so maybe they’ll want to go this week. It’s a good thing we didn’t go last week because we had a gully washer about 3 p.m. We’d have been way down the creek by …
And the Winner Is..
I went bookstore visiting Monday since I was in Lexington for an appointment anyway. You know with gas prices you can’t just go somewhere without two or three good reasons, can you? Anyway my new book, The Outsider, was already on the shelves in a couple of stores. That was good. What’s not so good is that I still don’t …
Picking Blackberries and Other Berry Picking Stories
It’s Saturday night and I’m bushed. I usually don’t sign on to let you know what’s going on in my life out here on the farm until Sunday, but tomorrow promises to be one of those days when there’s no time for blog reflections. The guys are singing at the Mercer County Fair in Harrodsburg tomorrow night, so I’m hoping …
