Sunday morning Cooter came into our room, bouncing on the bed. It being a day of rest, the Fella and I were trying to stretch it out as long as possible. Cooter is a morning person, me--not as much. He was excited about the upcoming Falcons game, and he and his partner in all things… Continue reading Be the Kicker

Don’t Go It Alone
I remember a sermon my sweet friend who introduced me and my Fella shared. Actually it's an image that she shared that has stuck with me all these years. I believe in looking back that she read Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 from the Good Book. The picture she painted with her story, of the dark and traveling… Continue reading Don’t Go It Alone
The Packing Up and the White Shoes
Twenty-five years ago today I graduated from college. I don't remember a lot of the particulars but there are a couple of things that stand out for me about that day. The night before, Sister had come up to spend the night with me. Though she is three years my junior there have been times… Continue reading The Packing Up and the White Shoes
Throwing Down Those Nets
Tonight at Evening Prayer, the story from the Good Book* where folks were asked to throw down their nets and follow was read. And discussed. While we were listening, the thought came to my mind-- What am I supposed to be throwing down "my nets" and doing? What?! That's a hard question. I really… Continue reading Throwing Down Those Nets

I've been thinking about one for quite a while now, and I finally decided to drop that as my official hint as… Continue reading Partying at the Pit
Because Life’s Too…..
Such a treat was in store for me today, and I had no idea. This afternoon my oldest and I headed out to run an errand. The littles were off with the Fella, so it was just the two of us. We were off seeking treasure--the last five jars of No Nut Butter that Aunt had… Continue reading Because Life’s Too…..
In the Rain with Padme and Boba Fett
Last Sunday on the BigTrip, Cooter was in hog heaven. His smile couldn't get any brighter, and I'm pretty sure his face hurt from smiling so much. I know mine did, and I was just smiling from seeing his joy. Does it get any better for a Mama? My little guy is perhaps the biggest… Continue reading In the Rain with Padme and Boba Fett
More Love Than Any Woman Could Handle
Yesterday my college girl stopped and got her oil changed on the way to the house. My Mama would be so proud. When she came in the door, however, all was not well. The car had cut off on her several times at lights ands stop signs. This was not a problem before getting her… Continue reading More Love Than Any Woman Could Handle
