WHAT IS HIDING IN THE MUD FACTORY CHAPTER 10

544x376 Normal 0 Momma, you are supposed to watch over me not push me over the edge. “Come on Jess, get out of bed and act like an adult. You have two children out there and they need a mom not a little girl who is throwing tantrums.” Jess’ mom had gone into the bedroom without a knock and made her wishes known in such an obnoxious manner. “Momma do you not see this is a very hard time for me. Can you not simply leave me along for at least a few weeks to be with my children? I have never done... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT IS HIDING IN THE MUD FACTORY CHAPTER 9

NOTE: This will be the last chapter for about a week. We will be away and unable to post. Justi Jess is encountering a post death of her son talk from her controlling and overbearing mother. It is obvious she has come to straighten out Jess' life but Jess has run from a present show-down.... Who appointed you to take care of all our problems? Is God on Vacation? Caney came running into the house with more bounce in her step than had been obvious since the death of Luke. Jess was pleased at that... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT IS HIDING IN THE MUD FACTORY CHAPTER 8

The light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off Jess had become two people. One of them was all smiles and acting as if all things were fine as ever around Caney and Henry. How else was she supposed to act? She had never done this before and how could she discuss something so hurtful with others who were hurt so badly? Those sorts of thoughts were only parts of the insanity. Not working for a few weeks had added to the problem as well. The nights were filled with tears and wine. There... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT IS HIDING IN THE MUD FACTORY CHAPTER 7

That Blue Eyed White Mountain Serpent If a mountain dweller came upon a straight road they would more than likely sit and stare, wondering just how far it went, of if it would disappear if they left it there. On Raccoon Mountain plateau the ground was rolling, sandy and fertile but the roads were as curvy as those along the many ridges and gaps. Jess watched as the blue eyes of the serpents gleaming white head flashed leading the long multi colored horrific body joints as it crawled, slithered... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT IS HIDING IN THE MUD FACTORY CHAPTER 6

This is the end of part one of the novel. It all takes place in one day. Part two will pick up five years later. The end of an era comes in like a tornado and leaves like an ice storm. Chapter 6 The boys must have thought the world was coming to an end. Mama ran their bath water. Who runs bath water for boys of that age? They haven’t seen anything yet until she gets to the bottom of this. They were very quiet and the twenty minutes were up just a bit ago. She heard them opening and closing...

WHAT IS HIDING IN THE MUD FACTORY-- CHAPTER 5

William Lucas and James Henry Mason went for a ride alright. Jess had a few loose ends to tie up. Earlier she and Caney had gone to the cemetery. When they were home she asked Caney to lock the doors and stay inside watching cartoons until she returned. “Mama where are you going? I want to go. I don’t want to watch old cartoons.” Wailed Caney. “Caney I will be gone only twenty minutes, thirty at the most. I have to go on the bike and it is simply too dangerous for you. Now be a good girl and... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT IS HIDING IN THE MUD FACTORY-- CHAPTER 3

Arley goes back to town, alone! Why? I rushed through the process of making the best possible breakfast on a short notice, for a husband who gets pathological when made to wait especially on an empty stomach. I chopped a bowl of fresh garden tomatoes, bell peppers, and a few jalapeños I added this to beaten eggs with some fresh crumbled feta cheese. I was hungry and that helped a lot. In addition to the omelet I made cat head biscuits with peach-bourbon jelly and grits with cheddar cheese and... Sign in to see full entry.

I jumped on the bike and hauled off up the brow. As the crow flies the distance from where the bike was hidden and the house was a mere five-acre beautifully terraced field. I had no interest in jumping terraces or ridding on damp sandy ground.... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT IS HIDING IN THE MUD FACTORY-- CHAPTER 1

544x376 Normal 0 HER BIRTH NAME WAS JESSICA CATHRINE BUT MOST CALLED HER JESS This fog is as thick as syrup. I am totally trapped by a nothing substance. I can’t feel more than dampness, I can’t see a foot in front of me, and I hear a low and foreboding dripping sound. It is Southern fog, thick and clumpy, it slides off pine needles like freshly cooked jelly off a spoon. I simply must concentrate on what is happing around me. One false step and I could plunge forward, backward or even sideways... Sign in to see full entry.

HANG ON A LIFE LINE IS ON THE WAY!

Today was a beautiful day. It was so wonderfully Southern. The early morning was foggy the kind only here in the South, clumpy, drippy and covering everything except the church steeples. The sun comes peeking out over the mountain tops making strange graffiti show through the dismal fog and soon it wins. It is sunny, clear and only a tad cold. I am rested and I venture out into this gifted day to see what is happening. People are smiling one to another. A friend joins me and we go to the coffee... Sign in to see full entry.

I AM TAKING IT SO EASY I MAY FALL ASLEEP

Since my recent little vacation, a couple of new falls and a short time in the emergency room I am taking it easy. The truth is I am getting totally lazy. I am enjoying reading. I am reading the stacks of books I have waiting my attention. I am also reading on here. I am surprised at finding so many new ones I have never read before and how good many are. I am delighted at the new and fancy faces some of you have put on your blogs. There is a new spark in some of the old writers I have not seen... Sign in to see full entry.

JUST WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SAY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU

It is January 3, 2009 of course, a cool 26ºf and the lakes are covered totally in fog. It has drizzled for three days and we are blessed. We just finished a great breakfast of fresh squeezed orange juice, sugar cured bacon, grapefruit and pares, cheese grits and whole grain toast. Life is good. We are inside and it is warm. Our kitty cat is curled up on George's lap. Again I say Life is Good. Why am I going on like a ditto machine? Well we were away from home for five days. We saw old... Sign in to see full entry.

Demand information then double check all medical treatment and medications

Last week I ran out of blood pressure medicine and went for a refill. I was willing to pay full price just to get it immediately. The pharmacist told me it was only good for one time. I could not believe the Doctor had given me a Rx for one time only which meant another trip to see him with another co-payment. I had missed a day before I went. When I arrived and they gave me the unpleasant news I thought I better check my pressure. It was a tad up there 198/96 so I went back and ask them for two... Sign in to see full entry.

DOES APPEAR A BIT STRANGE DOESN'T IT

There was a time when I thought those who had something to say were learned in that subject or well educated in general. I have learned so much more than I looked forward to caring about in the last 40 years. I have learned that hardly anything people say can be taken as valid. Some people love to pontificate to make themselves look learned or at least sophisticated. The hardest part of this gained information for me was that so many other people are waiting to hear from those people mentioned... Sign in to see full entry.

IS THIS THE WAY YOU SEE IT?

The most frequently used word or some form of it spoken to Christians is Judgment. This is a huge cop-out. If one never judged anyone or anything there would be no need for our senses. There is a lot about Judging or being Judged that needs to be understood. If you are a Christian and are out of step with the Word another Christian who is a more mature Christian, a Church authority such as the elders and that may in some cases be of age, such as the Titus women have the right to warn you three...

CHEERFUL MOANING HAVING FUN---JOIN THE FYBROMYALGIA CLUB

Several months ago I wrote on here about an area doctor who had fybromyalgia and was written up in the paper. You see few men have it so this was startling. There has been independent study since late 1880. Actually the real studies going on now are independent as well. No really important amounts of money have gone into this. I am not man bashing but that is the out dated way medical studies work. Still there is little known about heart attacks in women compared to men, yet their are huge... Sign in to see full entry.

SOME BLOGGERS HAVE IT ALL

I am so in awe of those who write every day, even many blogs daily and they read a lot it seems. There is Sam444, TAPS, Ariala and Corbin Dallas usually; these people have something new, interesting and well done each and every time I go there. TAPS and Ariala have been here longer than I and I been here for a while. What I think they have is a well organized life. I don't have that. My schedule can change on a dime. Plus the fact that my close partner, fibromyalgia, does a lot to manage my... Sign in to see full entry.
