Jesus Loves The Little Ones

My littlest granddaughter is seven today. This is a picture taken a couple of years ago. She is so much bigger now, but what a doll she is, a joy inside and out. I so remember how much I loved my grandmother when I was that age. She was so special to me. I loved doing things to make her laugh. If my... Sign in to see full entry.

All I Want...

" This is why I need a dragon...oh, and I'll name him Toothpick." ~ Baisy My Great-granddaughter Marianna (Baisy) is only 2 & 1/2 and she wants a dragon for a pet--not a stuffed toy or something with batteries, a real one that she can train. She insists that she knows how to train a dragon after... Sign in to see full entry.

No Hominy Jonathan?

Two weeks from right now, I'll be getting ready to bake another turkey with all the trimmings. Last year I said it was going to be my last turkey, but I don't know how to stop. It just seems like the thing to do this time of year. I wonder how many turkeys I have roasted for Thanksgiving dinner. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Too Much Like Work

Direct from the pumpkin patch he came, just like the old times when dad brought in the fall garden produce and stored it for winter use. There was a place for the potatoes, and for the onions and garlic bulbs. Big turnips, squash, pumpkins. When all that was left of the corn was the dry stalks, mom... Sign in to see full entry.

Go Vote

My walk to my polling place on a November morn....past the lake, through the woods, up the hill to The Joy Church....or, if it's raining (as it is tonight), I will drive around the woods in my little old beat-up Subaru. This is the way I've been going to vote on election days for over ten years now.... Sign in to see full entry.

Drink The Wild Air

Love of nature does run in our family. I can't remember any child kin to me who preferred to sit in front of the TV or play with technology of the day over physical activity in the great outdoors. Baisy (Great-grandbaby Marianna) can't wait to get outside no matter what the weather. Rain or shine,... Sign in to see full entry.

Below The Sod

I just ate the best tomato. It was luscious. I cut it up in small cubes, drizzled it with EVOO, sprinkled it with lemon pepper seasoning, dried oregano, and grated Romano cheese. I was going to save it for game time, but I made the mistake of tasting it and then I couldn't stop. I can't believe I... Sign in to see full entry.
