New School... We moved a lot when I was growing up, which meant many different schools...18 in my 12 years, actually. Lots of “first days”. As I’ve mentioned before, that never bothered me, I always saw it as a new adventure. My senior year was no acception. I had attended the same school for two … Continue reading A High School Memory…

More About Sunday….
The hater horse.... Sunday was, for all intents and purposes, a teaser of children and tester of men. Later in life I owned horses of my own and learned a lot that would have been valuable to know back then, but alas, I was only a kid, regularly terrorized by this big, beautiful animal that … Continue reading More About Sunday….
A Poem about my Mom…
I wrote this for my mother several years ago, but every Autumn, when the weather starts to get cool, trees change color, and we start thinking about pumpkins, Halloween and burning leaves, I pull it out and read it again. Enjoy... Mom’s Marshmallow Poem There was an old lady who loved to roast “puffs”, So … Continue reading A Poem about my Mom…
Feeding a Large Family….
Mom’s kitchen talent... We were a large family with lots of mouths to feed. I didn’t know it then, but being self-employed many times was synonymous with “unemployed”, which meant feeding a houseful of hungry kids took great skills and ingenuity in the kitchen. My mother was the master. Yummy pots of brown beans turned … Continue reading Feeding a Large Family….
Snoopy the Sheet Dog…
Rick and Snoopy We had a dog named Snoopy who wasn’t the brightest mutt around, but he loved us and was a great companion. One big problem Snoopy had was his addiction to anything flapping on the clothesline. I don’t know the times Mom yelled at him for chewing the corners of sheets, towels or … Continue reading Snoopy the Sheet Dog…
So Many Boys…..and Me
My Own Room... My parents had 6 kids....never more than 4 at a time, but I’m sure that was plenty! Being the only girl and smack in the middle in order of appearance, there were always older or younger brothers to contend with. Because of this, regardless of the size of the house, Dad always … Continue reading So Many Boys…..and Me
Random Thoughts….
Shoes on the side of the road.... 👞 I just saw a pair...not just one, but a PAIR of men’s shoes laying on the side of the road! Not an athletic shoe, not a boot, but a pair of DRESS shoes. How does that happen? Was he on his way to work, or church, … Continue reading Random Thoughts….
Adventures in Cooking….
(This was one of my first blog page attempts, which I never published, back in 2012.) Ok, first you must understand my love for all things caramel and/or butterscotch. Do not confuse the two, they are NOT the same. I love them the same, but still...just saying. Sometimes people substitute one for the other, and … Continue reading Adventures in Cooking….
Snake Haven
House Under the Mountain... When I was about 12 we lived in a house at the base of a small Oklahoma mountain. A long, narrow, gravel road wound its way from the highway back a mile to our house in the trees. Dad actually purchased this place thinking he was going to cease the gypsy … Continue reading Snake Haven
💕 💗 Love this!
It is not mine....I just love it and want to share it! Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby’s face, or love in the eyes of a woman. Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain. Give my blood to … Continue reading 💕 💗 Love this!
