Impromptu Football Game

Ok - we are headed to my nephew's championship football game after a day of pre birthday celebrations for my daughter and I'm not dressed for 46 degree weather! More like a nice restaurant and wine weather!  Nothing I wouldn't do for my family! Let's go Rebels! #3 

Reflecting on Friendship

As I approach my 26th year graduating from high school, I watched my daughter graduate from 5th grade. Many friends this year have watched their children graduate from high school. The invitations have lined up the counter awaiting congratulation funds to be inserted and delivered. One friend posted a photo of us on Facebook with... Continue Reading →

Small Town Thursday Night

I have lived in this small town my entire life. Except for the two times I left which wasn't over 45 minutes away each time so does that really count? This evening we were invited to see the movie Do You Believe? along with many others. In the theater, I spotted my grade school principal.... Continue Reading →

A Little Target Practice

After church this morning, GW and I headed to the Gun Club that he, my brother and Dad belong to for a little target practice. I hadn't shot since Christmas morning trying out my Christmas gift from GW a Springfield XDS 9mm.   I believe in my 2nd Amendment right that so many have forged... Continue Reading →

Springing Forward

It has been so cold the last month. No complaints though! I love the change of seasons (Spring & Fall are my favorite). It was -22 a week ago and 58 today! Sitting here with the moon roof open waiting to pick up the Princess from school.

Happy New Year ~ 2015

2015.... I can remember sitting in my parents kitchen watching the clock tick down to 2000 and waiting for Y2K to hit. I worked for the county auditor at the time and man were we ever prepared! Thankfully nothing happened and all is well! Now, fifteen years later....here we are. My nephew who sat on... Continue Reading →

Country Rain

I sit on the porch listening to it rain. Watching flashes of light followed by rumbles of thunder and thank God for my sight, my hearing, my home, my freedom. Things we all take for granted on a daily basis.

Snow to Sunshine

For over a month, the ground has looked like this Today it's this Yep ~ I'll take it. God is all powerful & I love the change of seasons. Reminds us we are ever alive.

Snowy months & long weekends

Between all the snow, 2 hour school delays, school cancelations, and Federal holidays, I have completely lost track of what day it is! I woke up thinking today was Monday and even wrote about it. Sitting in the drive thru of McDonald's this morning it hit me ~ it's TUESDAY NOT MONDAY! Hurried and corrected... Continue Reading →

Spring

The signs say Spring is calling! I'm ready to answer! The ground has been snow covered for over a month. It sure will be a gorgeous new season once it does arrive!

Hello ~

Welcome to a my little place on the world wide web where I plan on sharing my thoughts, sights, sounds and tastes. I love God, my family, living in a small town, music, food and wine. I am proud to say I grew up in Gallipolis, Ohio and love Gallia County. I take pride in my... Continue Reading →

She Loves Me Anyway

I'm not easy on Miss M ~ but she loves me anyway. I make her mind ~ she loves me anyway. I teach her the difference between right and wrong ~ she loves me anyway. I expect her to act like a lady ~ she loves me anyway. I demand respect ~ she loves me... Continue Reading →

Exercise

All of my life, I have been naturally thin.  That was until I had Miss M.  I am by no means overweight. I am, however, out of shape.  I never had to watch what I ate.  I never had to worry about working out. Even thin, I was out of shape.  I couldn't run up... Continue Reading →

Tamiflu

I have to say I was very skeptical of something that claims to slow down the flu process and heal you a day and a half faster.  I AM A BELIEVER!  I haven't been sick in 10 years PRAISE JESUS!  So when I started with a cough, aches and a headache I knew I had... Continue Reading →

Living A Life Of Excellence

For the past twenty-one days, I have been on a fast through my church.  I gave up Facebook completely and totally those days along with a couple of other things.  Facebook, at first, was the hardest to go without.  I found it to be more of a habit than anything.  I use FB to keep...

MARDI GRAS NIGHT

As you know, I am involved in so many valuable organizations.  I have been asked to be the Special Event Chair for the French Art Colony (FAC) www.frenchartcolony.org in Gallipolis.  The event that I am currently working on is MARDI GRAS NIGHT.  I am getting really excited about it the more things come together.  This is one...

Small Towns

Small towns ~ love them or hate them they most generally are all the same. I like walking into an establishment I haven't been in for probably a few years to have my truck tires aligned and the gentlemen met me at the door and took my keys without even asking my name ~ he... Continue Reading →

1st Day of 2nd Grade

What an amazing journey it has been to this day.  7 years ago today (also my favorite Aunt's birthday) my little baby girl took her first steps.  And today my baby started 2nd grade and is extremely excited about being there.  She went to bed wiggling and giggling about how excited she was for this day. ...

Release

Thursday I spoke with my cousin for 1 hour and 45 minutes until either her cell phone battery went out or AT&T let me drop yet another call.  We spoke about our babies going back to school, empty houses, parents and worry.  She is absolutely amazing.  She deals with more on an every day basis than...
