To me, those two words always seemed totally at odds with one another: Holiday and Blues. The holidays have always brought my inner little girl out to play - I absolutely love everything about them, even the crowds and 12 hour days in the kitchen. Great stuff!
There have only been [...]

My youngest daughter and I were in our favorite Dairy Queen a few weeks ago - getting all kinds of busy with a Mushroom and Swiss Burger and Onion Rings (Oh My Gracious God, them’s good…). We saw an adorable little, elderly man come in and approach the counter. We couldn’t help but smile mid-bite when [...]

If you’re in the habit of using your head for anything other than a hat rack, you know what it feels like to hit the occasional brick wall. Thud or WHACK - the sound all depends upon how fast you’re going.
I WHACKed about a week ago. It seemed like everything I mentally touched fried a few precious [...]

“United we stand, divided we fall”
It may not be much of a quote - but it’s a heckuva lesson. I made the mistake of reading a few political-themed articles today. Don’t you hate it when you know better than something but charge on ahead anyway?
It all ended as I knew it would - I didn’t [...]

“Life seems to love the liver of it.” -Maya Angelou
Have you allowed yourself to read much of Maya Angelou’s writings? She’s amazing. I’m afraid that most probably won’t fully realize her brilliance until she’s no longer with us - which, hopefully won’t be for a long, long time.
She has a way of grabbing life by the lapels, looking [...]

Okinawa, Japan.
What significance does Okinawa, Japan have and why does this post look like a Geography textbook page? Simple. Okinawa, Japan has a very special distinction: this is the place, out of all the places on earth, where the most centenarians live. So, if we’re looking at a series of posts that’ll help us live [...]

I was telling my daughters last week about a sermon I’d heard years ago. A gentlemanly Southern Preacher was speaking at the church we were attending at the time. He was talking about a person’s reputation - about how important it is to conduct yourself in a respectable way…NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION. He made the point [...]

—–SPOILER FREE REVIEW —- -
My 3 daughters, one of their boyfriends, and I went to see Superman Returns last night. We’d been looking forward to it for MONTHS, so I was a little nervous - when you’re all hyped up about a movie, it can go either way. On the one hand, you can [...]
