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.
Country Rain
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 →
Monday ~ Really?? I guess when I awoke I thought it was Monday haha!
Good morning! As soon as your feet touch the ground, give thanks. Just say thank you over and over. God didn't have to wake you this morning but He did. Start your day with positive thoughts. You can't have a negative thought and a positive one at the same time so why not have a... Continue Reading →

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!

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... Continue Reading →

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... Continue Reading →
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. ... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
So Very Loved
Miss M & I woke up Wednesday to a message that was left the day before from the eye doctor that her glasses were ready to be picked up. I told her and she was so excited and asked if we could go get them. I said sure after Momma gets a shower. I had ordered... Continue Reading →
People ~ Rude & Not So Much
AT&T ~ For some reason, I no longer have service where I have always had service. I also keep dropping calls. I called them and they said we don't know why you keep dropping calls and we don't know why you don't have service where you have always had service ~ no towers are down. ... Continue Reading →
Writers Block
Never thought it would happen this early since I had such big plans and ideas for this blog! I keep hearing in my head my Aunt Barbara saying ~ don't hold back ~ it's more interesting reading that way. I then think why am I writing? Who cares? And then I realize it is such... Continue Reading →

Quotes & Life & Things Taken For Granted
I read a couple of quotes this morning ~ "True strength is delicate." ~ Louise Nevelson "It's the good girls who keep diaries. The bad girls never have time." ~ Tallulah Bankhead I laughed when I read about the diaries one especially since I've been trying out "this blog thing". I haven't written in a... Continue Reading →
Memories Made
25 years ago, the City of Gallipolis opened the public pool. Gallipolis Junior Women's Club is the reason the pool was put on the ballet for voting for a 3 year levy. I learned today at the rededicating ceremony that it only passed by 47 votes. And that we are the only city to have... Continue Reading →
