13 things I heard that made me laugh this week: 1. Why did God have to make hairy armpits? 2. Dude. Seriously. Dude. 3. That thing could suck the spots off a dalmatian!! (speaking about the suction on the dental chair) 4. My room IS clean. (with stuff allllll over the place – so not [...]

My brother-in-law and his family had this big dog named Brody – who loved to sniff Luby when she was young. I think you can see a little tip of his tongue sticking out as he was either licking her or licking his chops! He could never quite figure out what to think of her [...]

I just recently finished a book titled “Wrapped in Rain” by Charles Martin. Actually, I finished it for the second time. That’s right. I read the book all the way through…. got to the very end and sighed in regret that it was over. And I flipped back to the first page and started it [...]

I was looking through photos of my Dad this weekend and ran across a bunch of my daughters when they were little. I thought I’d share a few over the coming weeks. It’s always fun to look back at how fast they’ve grown! Beebo on the left and Luby on the right. Three year old [...]

(I’m the oddball blonde, sitting on my Mom’s lap and that’s Lena just to the right.) My dad died two years ago today. It is still so hard to believe sometimes.

In the wind that rustles the cornstalks, in the rain that quenches the ground, in the warmth of the sun, He is ever-present. Some days I feel as if I am chasing my tail, trying to get things done. I just wish I could lay it at His feet and truly, let Him take control. [...]

Still thinking about the cooking show we went to this past Sunday, where we saw Emeril Lagasse and some of the Top Chef winners from seasons’ past. PDS: Pretty Darn Sexy I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the big cuff on his rolled up jeans, but…. I mind it a whole lot less [...]

Ok, so I’ve noticed more and more crazy trends in the way people dress lately. I am seriously NOT a big total fashion  stick-in-the-mud but really………have you noticed all the 40+women wearing clothes that belong on their teenage daughter? I mean…. just because it fits, doesn’t mean you should wear it! It just boggles my [...]

A dear friend of mine is a huge Emeril Lagasse fan. She invited my daughters and I to join her in Louisville for the Fork, Cork and Style show yesterday. There were three Top Chef alumni (Brian Malarkey, Eli Kershtein, and Betty Fraser) and Emeril Lagasse in attendence to do actual cooking demonstrations, along with [...]

Someone that is near and dear to my heart got married last Friday. The girls and I were lucky enough to witness the blessed event. And even luckier to snap a few photos. There is a slight chance that she might kill me for posting them but…. I can’t resist. Overlooking the Smoky Mountains Congratulations! [...]
