Home Alone!
I had great plans for the day. I knew in advance that I would be home alone so I planned to do somethings to get ready for Christmas. It’s not often that there isn’t a soul in the house but me and I wanted to...
Another Thanksgiving Past
As usual my Thanksgiving was spent with just the hubby and I. For years, our children have spent Thanksgiving week with my parents camping in north Arkansas. This came about due to jobs and our kids not getting to spend as much time with my...
Bozo Hair
The day before our son was born, my husband and I went to Fred’s to pick up some things. While we were there I began feeling tightening and told him that I thought I was having contractions. Since we had already been to the doctor...
How Time Flies
Tuesday our baby boy turned 18. He’s excited and glad although he’s to “cool” to show it or to tell mom. I remember well the night/day he was born. I didn’t know how much love I would feel when they put him in my arms....
Still Small Voice
When I was a child my mother would wake me every morning before school. Generally, I could hear her walking down the hall so when she said, “Vicky”, I always responded, “I’m awake.” I did that so she wouldn’t turn the light on. To this...
Be An Ostrich
There’s an old myth about ostrich hiding their heads in the sand. I decided to Google this topic one day and found they really don’t hide their heads when the going gets tough. Too bad, it was a nice analogy. In fact, today is one...
Darning
This weekend I done something that I have never done before. Darned. Well, maybe not in the traditional sense of the word, but never the less. The entire time I was darning, I kept thinking that it sounded a lot more fun reading about it...
STOP! I Can’t Breathe!
My husband is a big prankster and tease. He’s gotten me many, many times during the past 18 years. One thing he done almost every night while we watch TV is to grap my nose and pinch it shut. Invariably, I would try to push...
The Any Key
Tammy and I were fortunate in that our dad got a computer while we were young. There wasn’t a lot we were allowed to do other than play a few games and since I was taking business classes I go to balance the checkbook on...
Daisy, Daisy
This is Daisy. She’s a mid-size full-blood Yorkshire Terrier with all the grit and guts of her breed. Back when the economy was good, I took my first full check that was not designated toward a bill and bought her. She was a tiny, tiny...
Small Pleasures
I’ve been busy — still unpacking and cleaning and working and, well doing all the things I have to do. If I don’t do them myself, then they kind of don’t get done….. That means I haven’t been able to post for a few days....
Solar Dryer
Sometime ago my husband finally got around to putting up my clothes line. Knowing that the kids wouldn’t want to help, we came up with the idea of telling them that Dad was building a solar dryer and they were going to be the helpers....
Anne Pressly
KATV local news is the only local news station that we watch regularly. We’ve seen lots of change over the years, newbies that have done well and moved on, newbies that have disappeared off the radar and then those newbies that have become our friends....
Barf
Our dog (boxer/lab spoiled dog) got loose last night. Normally, Mr. Bear stays out side on a run all day and comes into sleep at night. (My husband and daughter are die hard animal lovers). Last night sometime after I fed Mr. Bear, he got...
