A little about me and my crazy world
Yesterday was my brother's birthday. Chubs passed away February 10, 2008. Every time I see a cardinal, I know it's him. Many birthdays I have now spent without him. I find solace in knowing Moma is with him now. I even found a feather while I was out walking at lunch yesterday. I know it's …
Summer is at its best today in the midwest: hot and humid. I love it. I'm not a fan of snow and ice so this is just fantastic. I sat outside this afternoon while Gracie Mae huffed and puffed making her go potty. That little diva just cannot deal. While I was sitting outside, I …
Saturday mornings are my favorite radio listening time. I crank up the radio as I drive to see my dad. There are two stations who play the older country music. WRAY played a lot of songs this year dedicated to Father's Day. I enjoyed many of the songs they played. If you are a country …
I like to say I'm from a small town. It's not small town in the sense of only having one stoplight, but it is small town in the sense of 'small town feels'. We have one high school, burgoo sales to raise monies, and an annual Christmas parade that incorporates all of Henderson's finest. When …
Yesterday was hot. In my area, we are known for our super hot and humid summers. Springs are filled with insane allergens. The winters are always unpredictable. I love the heat. The hotter the better. We have made it through the last little winters we experience in the spring. Blackberry winter is typically the final …
I have been told different stories of what people were doing when I was born. My dad always calls on my birthday at the exact moment I was born to tell me his version. I remember my mom would tell me how difficult of a birth I was for her. Lucky her! My brother, Chubs, …
Last night I stepped back in time. I have to be honest...part of me didn't want to go. Bittersweet memories I didn't want to have, and emotions I didn't want to feel. My lifelong friend, Miranda, drove in town for this moment, and I could not tell her no in going. Our former church was …
Seems to be a running joke if you’re from Kentucky, you use your fingers to count. When you run out of fingers, you use your toes. Everyone assumes in Kentucky, we run around barefoot all the time. We learned how to count using our fingers and toes. Funny as it sounds, I’m used to the …
Hard to believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve. While I enjoy seeing my grandchildren open presents, I am also a tad content when it’s all over. If you come to my house on December 26, you can bet my tree will already be down. I’m notorious for taking the tree down on Christmas. I get that …
Holidays can be the most bittersweet time of year. With my mom, my birthday and Christmas are the hardest for me when it comes to missing my mom. My mom loved Christmas cards. I mean LOVED Christmas cards. When I was growing up, she and my aunt would have a contest of who received the …
