It’s a special day !
The “Gig” is the weekly email from Covenant Presbyterian Women’s Ministry, connecting women to Jesus, women to women, and women to needs. My dear, 93-year-old mother-in-law called us from Louisiana at the beginning of 2024 and said the breast cancer she had beaten years before had returned and was now in her lungs. Margie said, “I […]
My Hiney’s Clean…but not for long.
Last night I couldn’t fall asleep. I flipped back and forth for over an hour and finally gave up. I went in the kitchen and ate a bagel with peanut butter thinking that would make me carb drunk and I’d fall asleep quickly. Who eats a bagel sammy at 1 in the morning? Apparently I […]
The Things We Do For Love
I am in a season in my life where I am especially grateful for friendships. I feel really grateful to have people in my life that have my back and I have theirs. We celebrate each others victories and cry together on those days that life gets overwhelming. We encourage one another and we laugh. […]
Haunted House
I live in Mayberry. Okay, it’s 80% Mayberry, 15% Payton Place and 5% Gladys Kravitz. If you focus on the 80% it’s all baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. Most people never want to move out of my hood, so when some dear neighbors of ours decided to move to their dream home a few […]
Mystery Date
Back when Keller and I had energy, time and money (i.e…before kids), we used to take each other on mystery dates. One would plan the date and take the other on a mystery. It was my turn to plan. I love to plan a good surprise…that’s half the fun for me! I looked in the […]
What ya makin’ Nanny?
What’s ya makin’ Nanny? My great Aunt Annie lived on Battery Lane in Nashville. She was a lovely proper lady of society, applied her lipstick consistently outside the lines, and opened her home for many a cause and party. It was the late 30’s. She asked her little neice, my mother, to greet her guests […]
Oh Deer!
Oh Deer! “Hunting” for the lesson. You might not know this about me, but I love deer. I think they are beautiful and are fascinating to watch. When we lived by Percy Warner Park (where there are a plethora of deer) my family would “bid” on the number they think we would see as we […]
TO BE or NOT TO BE
I had worked my big butt off for months. We were hosting my mommas 70th birthday party. Fifty or so of her closest friends were coming over to party like it was 1945. This was years ago when my kids were one, three and four. My mom (Marilyn) had talked it up for weeks at bridge […]
I Surrender All
I want to see an albino deer. You heard me right. It would be on my bucket list if I had one. Pure white. Majestic. It would be breath taking to me. If I saw an albino buck, I would prolly wet my pants! There are a handful of albino deer in the Nashville area. A […]
