why I blog

So, I’m not a political blogger.  I just blog whatever’s on my mind.  I’m not a political blogger because my views are my views and I don’t want to shove them down anyone’s throat and I’m a lover, not a fighter.  I love politics, always have, but if I had wanted to go into politics, [...]

a little show and tell and a little history

I don’t usually (ever) post pics of anyone else’s children, but I’m breaking my own rule today.  My bff in S’port, Darla, and her hubs Chris had twins in the spring and they are my unofficial nephews. And her dog is an old friend of mine, too.  This was going to be a short post, [...]

long tall salliemae.com

I wasn’t going to really post today, but I just finished dealing with my student loan online (you know, the one I have from college, but the degree wasn’t included — always read the fine print, a little tip from me to you, dear readers) and I couldn’t get this out of my head.
Okay, so [...]

the costume to end all costumes

Halloween is next Friday for those of you without a calendar.

Me in black and white

Y’all know I love a good makeover.  I found out about www.yearbookyourself.com from an old friend’s Facebook page.  Her pics were great and of course I had to try it myself.   I give you Kerry through the ’60’s.
Kerry, class of 1960.  Kerry was in the marching band this year, President of the Future Homemakers Club, [...]

I scream, you scream

When Molly and Katie got home this afternoon we went by Coldstone to get quarts of icecream. The kid behind the counter asked if I needed a bag. I was getting two quarts of icecream. I looked at him, said “no, I’m going to eat it all on the way home.” Ask a [...]
