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

Running Out of Gas
This afternoon I got a call from my Fella. It's not unusual for him to call that time of day. Sometimes he'll call to see if we need him to pick up anything on his way home from work. But today, that was not his reason. The gas gauge is broken in his vehicle. Well,… Continue reading Running Out of Gas
The One About What Really Matters
All last weekend I could hear the joyful sounds of laughter and conversation as all the girls from our street and one who used to live here gathered on our front porch, making "potions" and "perfumes" and all kinds of things. Using wood, old chimes from a wind chime, baskets, all kinds of leaves and… Continue reading The One About What Really Matters
Christmas Lights and Marital Bliss
Today we finally got the lights on the tree. We've had a time of trying to find time to actually go tree hunting, what with the Fella being gone, and Aub having finals and papers and all the things due this week, and all the things the littles do. And once we got the tree… Continue reading Christmas Lights and Marital Bliss
One Thousand
About a week ago, I happened to notice my blog post count. It's not something I've watched since around number 500 or so. So imagine my surprise when I saw the number and then counted on my fingers to discover that I would hit Post 1000 tonight. This is post 1000. I'm smiling at the… Continue reading One Thousand
The Countdown is ON
Around here we have some countdowns going on. Several actually. It didn't occur to me today which one might be foremost in my mind, in my subconscious even, until I saw this on the road while Miss Sophie and I were taking our morning constitutional earlier today. The first thing that came to my mind… Continue reading The Countdown is ON
When You Can, Do This
The Fella went on a trip to do the do that he does. For three and a half weeks. He was scheduled to come home today. He did not come home as scheduled. I've had this day circled in my mind, my heart, and with everything that has gone wrong around here--I've counted down the… Continue reading When You Can, Do This
Hands and Hearts Joined Together
Note: This is not a news report filled with facts about last night's vigil. This is simply my story of what I experienced and what I understood to have happened. The news articles are about the facts. This is about my heart. Yesterday started like any other. Breakfast, math, spelling.....and then the text came… Continue reading Hands and Hearts Joined Together
Grace and Home Improvement
I learned something new today. They say you should make that your goal each day, you know? So today I did it, and that makes me glad. Doesn't happen every day, so it's kind of a big deal. Today Leroy and my Fella were hanging some shades for me. It was no small task,… Continue reading Grace and Home Improvement
Coon Bait It’s Not
So the Fella has become a no kiddin', serious about it for real, coon trappin' guy. It started with the sightings. And a neighbor saying that he saw one just amble out of our garage one afternoon when we'd left the door open. Ahem. Ummm, no. Then the cat food for our outside feline friends… Continue reading Coon Bait It’s Not
