Life is butterflies and thistles. Hummingbirds and bumblebees. Sleepless nights and sleep-in mornings. Blooming flowers and chomping worms. Truth and fiction. Sorrow and joy. Butterflies on thistles. I’m off my schedule this week, but wanted to stop in to thank you all again for all your prayers and thoughts this last week as I had to tell Mom goodbye. Now …
Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of the seasons. – Kahlil Gibran My giveaway contest to celebrate Small Town Girl is going great. Entries are coming in from all over and you wouldn’t believe how many of us are out there who “never win.” One of those people will be winning those wind chimes …
I just got home from spending a couple of days with my grandkids while their parents went on a business/relaxation trip. They take this trip every year and for the past several years I’ve gone up to their house to hold down the fort. Well, last year, the kids came to my house. My husband was out of town that …
Summer time is a good time of year to forget what day it is. All week I’ve had to think twice about whether it’s Monday or Thursday. And oops, it’s Thursday and I totally let Wednesday slip past me without coming over to talk. I can blame it on the deadline rush to edit and pare and trim that had …
Almost two years ago I was rushing to get the book that became The Believer finished before these two little ones made their appearance in the world. And now here they are full of smiles for their grandma and their grandma is rushing to get yet another book finished, my fourth Shaker book, as yet nameless. ~~I’ve been brainstorming names …
We had a great weekend weatherwise here in Kentucky. And in West Virginia where we were keeping the grandkids while Mom and Dad took some R & R time. Looks like the twins are auditioning to join their grandpa’s gospel group. A little duet piano playing would certainly add to the fun, I’m sure. This is our second weekend in …
School starts here in Anderson County next Tuesday. The parents I’ve heard talking are groaning about the early start and the teachers are groaning louder. August is sometimes the very best month for summer activities and now schoolwork is going to be on the agenda instead of swimming pools and picnics and vacations at the lake. My grandkids here in …
I just got home from my babysitting weekend in WV. The babies are so cute, both the twins and their big sisters. The twins turned eleven months old while I was there. Neither of them have started walking yet, but they crawl everywhere super speed. Especially when they see an open door where they think they might escape to the …
I bailed my big old chocolate Lab out of doggie jail on Monday. Somebody had picked him up on Thursday and turned him into the animal shelter, but I couldn’t get any answer at the shelter until Monday because of the holiday weekend. Poor old dog had to sit in that cage all weekend. I have his tags, but had …
Hey everybody. Just signing in to say today is a wild and crazy day and also night. My daughter-in-law had a false alarm about having her baby this morning. Went back to the hospital. Got sent back home. Those of you who have been through that sort of thing can sympathize with her for sure. I never had labor pains …
