Today I was able to be a part of the Holiday Marketplace at Bare Bulb Coffee. Aub and I were there for over four hours hanging out and visiting with the people who came in to browse or shop. During the afternoon I made the acquaintance of a young expectant mother who had a table… Continue reading What Pours Out of You?

Letting It Go
My Fella and I took the crew along with Mess Cat and her little guy Shaker to see the new Disney movie "Frozen." I had no idea what to expect. The only previews I'd seen featured Olaf the snowman, so I had no clue about the depth and meaning behind the storyline. I do love… Continue reading Letting It Go
“Let’s Get This Thanksgiving Started!”
This morning when he woke up my little guy Cooter came right up to the kitchen door and proclaimed quite loudly, "Let's get this Thanksgiving started!" That made me laugh. I mean, the turkey had been in the oven for a while, but yeah.....it's not Thanksgiving without the "fambly folk" there. And how can your day… Continue reading “Let’s Get This Thanksgiving Started!”
These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Several years ago Oprah came to town. She was supposedly going to select her studio audience based on letters written in about why the writer wanted to be there and whom he or she would bring with them. As we'd been stationed overseas for a while, and because of the timing of the airing of… Continue reading These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Tears on a Tuesday…..Loneliness, Laundry, and Living on the Streets
Whoa, Tuesday! You sure did jump out of nowhere and grab ahold of my heart today. Totally wasn't expecting all of that. There have been tears today. Over the realizing all over again what Thursday is and that she isn't here to make her dressing. I've only not had Mama's dressing three Thanksgivings in my life--the… Continue reading Tears on a Tuesday…..Loneliness, Laundry, and Living on the Streets
I Think Jesus Loves a Good Hootenanny
I don't know exactly how to say this. I do not intend to offend in any way, and yet I feel like it must be said. This has been rolling around in my mind and heart for some time now, and now here we are. 'Tis the season. I had a call about three weeks… Continue reading I Think Jesus Loves a Good Hootenanny
disorienting days of darkness
We had the great fun and adventure of making a road trip from middle Georgia to Alabama today to be with folks we love, friends and family, to celebrate new life and a birthday. Cooter was very excited because he has never been out of state. At least that I can recall. I haven't slept… Continue reading disorienting days of darkness
Krystal’s–Just Icing on the Cake
Growing up we had many adventures. Especially during the summer. My favorite memories of those times are loading up in either our Chevy II or my Aunt's, and off we would go. We loved going to the weekly movies at the Planetarium. They would project old Disney movies like "Cannonball Express" or "Candleshoe" or "Apple… Continue reading Krystal’s–Just Icing on the Cake
no hearts in my text messages
I've always been an Anglophile, as far back as I can remember. It all culminated with a trip to England over spring break my junior year in college. Most people came back to school with tans. I came back with a new affinity for hot tea with milk and a tiny bit of an accent. I… Continue reading no hearts in my text messages
freeze warnings
It's finally acting like fall here in Georgia. Tuesday evening it was 57 degrees at 6:00 p.m., pitch dark, and I was ready to hole up with a fire and a mug of apple cider. Yes, 57. I'm a Georgia girl, I don't do cold real well. Don't judge. It has gotten colder than that. We had a freeze warning… Continue reading freeze warnings
