    Where I Am From

    I am from paper clips, from Paper Mate and Cross Pens. I am from the the red brick house with white metal window shades, shaggy red and blue carpets, orange and lime tile, and moth ball odors. I am from the Ivy, Marigolds, and pine cones. I am from the Oak trees, Pansies, and Cloves. I am from big Christmas traditions and round rosy cheeks, from Wells and Dennis and Harris. I am from the calm, cool, and collected and understanding, sensitive, and forgiving. From “Your hair is so pretty” and “Education is your top priority”. I am from the…

    Your Questions Answered!

    Lisanne asked: 1] What are your thoughts about autumn quickly approaching? Do you enjoy fall? What are your favorite fall activities? Well, fall may technically start Sept. 21, but here in the South it won’t ‘feel’ like fall until later October. Nevertheless, I love fall.

    I have what?

    Yesterday I went to the doctor, because I’ve had the sinus issues. I was pretty sure I had a sinus infection, which it turned out I did and also the beginnings of an ear infection. While I was there, doc was asking me about my neck and I told him the symptoms I have had in the last few months. He said I have Fibromyalgia, so I’ll be going on a cocktail of medications next week to hopefully help things. Wish me luck.

    Snake Adventures

    Today Drew was outside in the front yard and saw this rat snake in our flower bed. He later caught it. He put him in this container and we ooed and awed at him. We decided to take pictures of Drew holding the snake, but the closest thing we got was the pic in the middle. Right after I took that picture, Drew brought him up higher with his other hand and the snake bit him!! The snake is now sleeping on my kitchen table in this plastic container. Yes, I’m actually sleeping in the same house as a snake.…

    Lots going on lately…

    Ok, so for those of you interested, I did finish that list Friday night. We went out of town Saturday and Sunday. We had a really good time at Mr. Paul’s house. Paul and Vicki are always such great hosts. We swam and rode 4-wheelers and the kids road in the tractor!
