Today I took a big step.  I overcame my fear of hominy.  Yep, hominy.  I had a unfortunate experience during my young adult years that involved an open can of hominy, a fork, a filthy house and a hypodermic needle.  I’ll spare the details, but I’ve refused to eat it until tonight.   Actually I was pleasantly surprised.

A small crowd gathered inside the old Harris Drugs this past weekend to play a little music in tribute to Woody Guthrie, a folk singer who spent a few years here in our little town and worked at Harris Drug.  Legend says that it was while working here, he found a guitar in the back room and… Read more

Sometimes I imagine.  I imagine what it would be like to have lived during another era. A different time.  I drink my coffee from a china cup and saucer.  I enjoy the nostaligia of it.  Forget Starbucks and fast food.  Slow it down folks. Which reminds me of hats.  I like hats.  Can you remember when women wore… Read more

Tomorrow is October and Autumn is descending. You can tell the season is upon us here at our house by the great abundance of acorns that clutter our yard and driveway. Our yard is quite small, but we have 78 oak trees. Maybe I exaggerate, okay then, 77 oak trees. Beautiful trees.These mighty oaks produce… Read more

I ran across the term “mommy blog” yesterday. I’m assuming it’s for all those peeps who only blog about their kids. So, I’ve coined my own term “auntie blog”. Real original huh? No kids for me, and no I don’t want any, thanks for asking. I have a very selfish streak and am quite the… Read more

I wish there were more hours in the day. I can’t ever seem to get accomplished what I desire. I love reading blogs, but need several hours to explore them the way I’d like to. I still don’t know what I’m doing with my own blog. Really I don’t even know the purpose of blogging… Read more

I think we’re moving. Do you ever just get a feeling? You know the one where you just know something? Last Friday night, a guy approached us about his house that he’s selling. We haven’t really been looking, but we hope to get out somewhere with a little acreage and some facilities for horses and… Read more

The weather is chilly and I decided that flip flops might not be conducive to 50* weather, so I had to squeeze into actual shoes and socks today for the first time in more than 4 months. My feet did not like the feeling of confinement. My big toes are sore. Well I guess this… Read more

The weather took a very sharp turn to super chilly today. The wind picked up to a comfortable 50 mph blasting autumn into our little town. I worked late, and left the school at 7:00. I hate doing that, but if I hadn’t I would be up to my eyebrows in work. As it stands,… Read more

1:00 in the morning, my eyes pop open. The polls have opened for my children’s book competition. Yes folks, the day you have all been anxiously awaiting has finally arrived. This does sound like you, doesn’t it?? I jumped out of bed to check and double check to see if I could vote. It looks… Read more
