MORE CHILDHOOD MEMORIES & PHOTOS....THESE ARE FROM TROUP

When I was a little girl, my mother’s parents lived on a farm in a tiny town in east Texas called Troup….and my father’s parents lived in a city, Ft. Worth. Visits to the two were like visits to two different planets. Mama’s parents were known to me as Nanny and Papa….Daddy’s folks were Grandmommy... Sign in to see full entry.

ELYSIAN FIELDS..... THE WAY IT WAS.......CRUEL, GREEN, BEAUTIFUL

When I was a little girl, I got to experience life as it was lived in the generations before mine by virtue of a little town we lived in called Elysian Fields……just the name alone is somewhat magical to me…..and because my mother’s parents lived on a farm that wasn’t modernized with running water...

I AM LIKE A LAKE

I am like a lake that turns over periodically - Revealing the other side, but still the same water; Not a whole new woman, not a changed personality, Just a different side than the one that has been showing. It confuses some people, people who don’t turn over like that, People who are more... Sign in to see full entry.

"FOR THE GOOD LIFE"....THOUGHTS ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY AS I LIVED IT

Driving down the highway that runs through Llano today, my eyes filled with tears……they rolled down my cheeks……my nose started running…..and then I started laughing at myself…..I’m crazy. Okay….back up. I’d driven into Kingsland to pickup my mother’s dogs from the woman who had boarded them while... Sign in to see full entry.

QUOTE OF THE DAY..........THE PRICE OF ANYTHING

The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. Henry David Thoreau Do you believe that? I do. I believe it’s true on several levels. Most obvious, think of it in purely objective terms and come up with some way of putting a dollar value on your time. If you are employed or spending... Sign in to see full entry.

COLLECTIONS...........THINGS

I’ve collected things all my life…..lots of things…..sort of a thingaholic, I am. Not just anything, of course…..the things have changed….well, some things haven’t. The only one thing that all the things I collect have in common is my love of the things. The individual characteristics and qualities... Sign in to see full entry.

FOR ANYONE WHO THINKS THEY KNOW EVERYTHING!

A dime has 118 ridges around the edge. A cat has 32 muscles in each ear. A crocodile cannot stick out its tongue. A dragonfly has a life span of 24 hours. A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds. A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. A shark is the only fish that can... Sign in to see full entry.

LOGIC.....A DEFINITION

I wrote this down in my paper brain many years ago......I have no idea where I got it, who said it, when or where. I think logic is a word that gets thrown around a lot....usually without a lot of thought about what it actually means. Lately, I've read some comments by people who I am sure think...

AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS....... (FUNNY.....EVIL, BUT FUNNY)

An atheist was walking through the woods. "What majestic trees"! "What powerful rivers"! "What beautiful animals"! He said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him. He ran as fast as... Sign in to see full entry.

FEARLESSNESS WITHOUT TRUST? NO WAY!

I recently decided that I want my epitaph to be "She had a fearless heart." I decided this after hearing Steve Earle’s comments to an audience on one of his cd’s. He said that you can either get through life or live it and if you were going to live it, you only needed two things - an inquisitive... Sign in to see full entry.
