Wear Clean Underwear

March 11, 2009

“Wear clean underwear, in case you are in an accident!” I actually heard my grandmother utter that cliché once. Y’all thought that was just a joke people used, didn’t you? I’m not sure I understand exactly why clean underwear would be important. How can I put this “delicately?” I’m telling you that if I were [...]

Is There Really A “Gypsy Style?”

March 10, 2009

Over my birthday weekend (yes, I stretched out the “festivities” as long as I could), my husband took me to Grapevine, Texas to the downtown area. Grapevine is the town where I grew up, and it looks nothing like it did when I was a child. The town leaders decided to re-do Main Street and [...]

Black, White, And Read All Over

March 9, 2009

Mr. Tucker finds our little old daily newspaper to be a boring read. Or, maybe he just couldn’t find his glasses. I’ve taken a break from the internet for a few days, because Mr. Tucker had some vacation time. Supposedly it was in honor of my birthday. If the truth is told, it was because [...]

Something To Crow About! Only The Good Friday

March 6, 2009

Sunday mornings were my favorite part of the week when I was a child. We got up early and scrubbed for church (no I didn’t like that part). Usually, before we went to worship, we ate a quick breakfast of milk toast, which is exactly what it sounds like with a little sugar on it. [...]

March 5, 2009

I know some of you out there sit at your desk slaving away writing stories and plays and such. Maybe you have a dusty manuscript stashed in a file drawer? Here is an opportunity you can’t afford to miss. I’d have told you about it much sooner, but I just got the e-mail today. Dentyne® [...]

Can You Guess?

March 4, 2009

“It” came to me in the mail packaged in this bag inside the box. It was something I wanted badly, and it came just in time for my birthday. I mean to tell you, it is THE most beautiful of its kind that I have ever owned. Do you want to know what it is? [...]

Meditation To Relieve Stress

March 3, 2009

It seems odd to me that a blogging friend, whom I have never met, seems to have a sixth sense about when I need a lift. Sometimes she telephones me out of the blue. Today was one of those days! My cell phone buzzed and it was Thorne out in California. She asked me how [...]

How Do YOU Dispose of Old Medication?

March 2, 2009

In the last few years of her life, my Momma took literaly hundreds of different medications. It seemed that every week when she went to the doctors, they changed her meds or doses. Another half-used bottle of prescription medication got shoved to the back of the medicine cabinet. When Momma died, those medications got tossed [...]

My Inner Artist Is Not A Cheap Date

March 1, 2009

Do y’all ever read “self help books?” I’ve got shelves filled with them, and I occasionally crack them open. I usually don’t read them all the way through. It isn’t that I don’t need help, but I seem to expect that I will absorb them by osmosis or something. Many years ago, a friend of [...]
