Pausing
I can hear the washer running, the dryer thumping and the coffee pot clicking. (Does anyone else’s pot do that??) The birds are singing, the air is heavy with the anticipation of rain.

Good mornin’ y’all
As you might have guessed, a few days in Nashville and I’ve come home with a complimentary drawl. 🙂 We had to giggle, because Indianapolis seems to be the mark of demarcation. Those below Indy say “y’all” those above do not. The kids made me leave the last vestiges of my “y’all” in Indy. … Continue reading
Say Goodbye to Whining and Complaining….
Okay, so I haven’t even opened my book since last Monday or Tuesday AND I was on the road ALL day yesterday. (I’m sorry – 11 hrs on the road qualifies as all day in my book.) I’m so far behind here dear ones – why don’t YOU bring me up to speed? What are … Continue reading
