Picture This …

  Ryan, remember the coke in the face story?    Well, this is me sitting on the ground yesterday after I hit a pot hole and twisted my ankle.  I had a mug full of diet coke and the lid flew off and all the diet coke went into my own face just before I did [...]

I am a Respecter of Persons, but …

I’ve been asked to not blog about someone today … who shall remain nameless to protect their identity.     I am a respecter of persons but, of course, there is also my constitutional right to freedom of the press, and we all know how free the press can be. So, I will just say one word [...]

Cheering Up Mama

It is amazing what getting a nice hair style and highlighting will do for an old woman’s ego. I think half of the fun is visiting with KayDee Smith, the cute young girl who I go to. I had to go get it highlighted after one of the sisters at church asked me if I’d [...]
