September the 11th has a special, painful place in the hearts of Americans. On this particular day I reflect not only on the tragic day in New York, but also on my sister’s birthday. Her birthday came long before terrorists marred not just the day, but the face of American and World history. So I…
The pussy cat population at our house is normally a population of one. I prefer it that way, nobody gets stressed out or fights or does anything generally unpleasant. Sleeping on the freezer for 23 hours, 3 minutes of Pilates to maintain that sexy figure plus eating at least 4 times a day are the norm for our…
I’ve walked mostly without my camera these days, mainly due to the fact I have no internet but also because I’ve been trying to actually walk for fitness and that doesn’t really work out when you stop every 3 feet to photograph a mushroom, dragonfly or miscellaneous leaf. However, today was different. I wanted you to…
Recently my darling friend, Amanda, took her husband on a surprise trip to Hot Springs to celebrate their anniversary. I set up camp at her casa to look after chickens, parrots, dogs and various other creatures. My darling friend has a lot of mirrors. These lovely bits of reflective glass only reinforced the knowledge (shoved…
Hi y’all! I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth, although some days it feels that way! I’m just hiding out, rather unwillingly, waiting on the blessed day I regain internet service! Good news is, my darling husband informed me, they are coming to set the forms for concrete tomorrow! Happy Day! That is…
So, Addie and I spent a great deal of time at the new place, trying to catch minnows in the creek. But, apparently the minnows in Maydelle sent word ahead to the minnows in Glenfawn, and well. They were impossible to catch. We walked the entire length of the creek, dabbled in each little pool…
About a week or so ago, I told you about an old house I came across while walking. It was open, so naturally I had to go inside! Here are the pictures, as promised. I often wonder about houses such as these. Who lived in them, who built them. Why they are left to rot…
Progress, progress! While it may be slow at times, we are crawling steadily toward our dream. Well, I actually haven’t done anything other than write a check for some posts, take the men lunch a few times and photograph the entire effort. But hey, someone has to do the laundry and feed the cat. The house…
Earlier today I was browsing through the pictures of my daughter’s 8th birthday party. And I came across this gem. Child, not only did I tote you around inside me for 9 months, struggle to lose the weight you imparted on me, pay people to watch, entertain and educate you. I drove and drug you…
I’ve taken exactly 4 walks since we have moved, but this one, number 5, was the first one on which I toted my camera. It was a lovely morning. I tried to get Peaches to go with me but he just stuck out his tongue. He thinks exercising is just for humans. So I headed…
