Hey everyone! Hope you are staying cool during these August days of summer. Don’t know about your parents, but mine drilled The Golden Rule into my head from the time I could read. They reminded me of the biblical text whenever I acted selfishly or was jealous or you name it. Hence, I felt likeContinue reading “Do Unto Others…”

A Row of Ducks & Katherine Nichols
Hope everyone is well and happy! It’s hot here in Georgia. How hot is it?

This month, I want to continueContinue reading “A Row of Ducks & Katherine Nichols”
Finding Our Feathers
Don’t you just love this time of year? To see and smell the beauty around us. April is my favorite month. Well, of course—it’s my birthday month! Yes, the pollen seems never-ending especially down south where I live.

BLAST OFF!
JANUARY 17, 2022 So, how’s the weather at your house? Ah, cold enough for you? Brrrrrrr. At my house, down here in the south, snow fell on us. We do get a bit of the white stuff every now and then.

SIMMERED FOR FLAVOR
Thanks for sticking with me through this long, hot summer. In June, I underwent a hip replacement, which put me out of commission for a while.

My poor husbandContinue reading “SIMMERED FOR FLAVOR”

Tearing off the Tag
I was born in Savannah, Georgia. You just don’t get much more southern than that, right? As a child, I was expected to act a certain way. It was like I came out with one of tag like the one attached to a pillow (you know that says you’ll be prosecuted under the law if you yank itContinue reading “Tearing off the Tag”
Part Two – Interview with a Strong Southern Lady
So, are you hot enough? I can’t believe we’ve had no reprieve in two months here in the South. I’m ready for fall. Bring on football, gold and reddish colored leaves, and cool nights. I’m in the middle of downsizing. Yes, it’s horrible. I think maybe it’s human nature to hoard everything, memories, stuff weContinue reading “Part Two – Interview with a Strong Southern Lady”
Why She Writes About Women – Welcome, Amy Rivers
So, to quote a former late night television personality, “How hot is it? It’s so hot, chickens are laying hardboiled eggs.” Yep, I don’t have to tell you that it’s hot down here in Georgia. Even my pup, Bella, won’t stay outside very long. She lies in the mulch where it’s cooler on her belly forContinue reading “Why She Writes About Women – Welcome, Amy Rivers”
