My son started soccer in January. It’s been a great experience thus far for him. He’s being challenged to really strengthen and condition his body, in ways he probably hasn’t before. His skills, such as they are, are being honed, and even though it was for us an expensive proposition, thus far, I’d say it …

Remember many years ago when Baby Jessica was stuck in a well? Remember how all America waited with bated breath for her to be released from her confinement? Or, more recently, remember those Chilean miners who were trapped in a mine in Chile (where else would you expect to find a trapped Chilean miner, I …

I have been thinking about this passage from the second chapter of Mark a lot lately: 1-5 After a few days, Jesus returned to Capernaum, and word got around that he was back home. A crowd gathered, jamming the entrance so no one could get in or out. He was teaching the Word. They brought …

Well, I’ve got some good news, and I’ve got some bad news. Which one do you want first? I remember hearing lots of jokes like that. Like this one: These two old men had been best friends for year, and they both live to be well into their 90’s, when suddenly, one of them falls …

Don’t you hate it?  Road work? It’s an aggravation, isn’t it? And the worst part of it is, it never seems to end. To distort the words of Robert Frost: “Something there is that doesn’t love a road”. I traded the word “road” for the word “wall” from Frost’s famous poem, “Mending Wall”, but the …

Our friend Steve is a true romantic. He loves his wife Annie with a love that is true, and burns more brightly every year. I don’t know exactly how long they’ve been married, but my guess would be well over 30 years. Yesterday, he sent my dear husband, the Big Bison, an email with a …

Somehow, this image qualifies as cute, funny, AND sad, don’t you think? Today, I very much enjoyed visiting what to me was brand new blog. I am providing a link to this blog, The Blog O’ Cheese: Cute, Funny, Sad: The Home Game because, as the blogger himself says, sharing cheese is a nice thing …

You probably think that’s a misplaced my apostrophe in my title, don’t you? And well you might! Unless…. You hail from Tompkinsville, Kentucky. In which case, I bet you lovie Dovie’s, too. For the uninitiated among us, let me give you the scoop on exactly why I lovie Dovie’s. Some of you who have been …

Only someone who has listened to a lot of Neil Diamond would get the reference in my title, today. But my junior high days were filled with James Taylor, Loggins and Messina, and early on, thanks to my girlfriend George and her passion for the song “Kentucky Woman”,  Neil Diamond had to be listened to. …

https://thesmittenimage.blogspot.com/Yes, I did!!! I think my heart just about leapt out of my throat, too!!!! So, I was on my way to Hilary’s wonderful blog, The Smitten Image, and I was going to comment about how Squirrel Buffet (the title of one of her pictures today) must be a cousin of Jimmy Buffett’s, and must …

Grady, and my knees It may sound far-fetched, but it’s a fact. Grady, my fashion forward feline friend from Frisco (OK, I hate that term. He’s from SAN FRANCISCO, not (shiver) “Frisco”, but it was the “f” alliteration thing, and I succumbed to the temptation to add just one. more. “f:. FAIL.) is having an …

First: there was this Jack. My dear husband, the Big Bison, and I went through an addiction to the show “24”. Jack was always there, to save the day. No matter how dark or evil the terrorist, no matter how dear the cost to himself personally,  Jack was a hero on whom America could depend. …

Happy Birthday to Me! My dear husband, the Big Bison took me out to dinner last night where we were treated the way you OUGHT to be treated on your birthday: with sumptuous food and drink, with warmth, and concern for our every need. They even showed concern that the load that our pocketbook was …

I bet you thought I was going to talk about me, again. Well, while I am still on my sardine eating/fishy burp producing binge/experiment to improve my hair’s condition and thus give myself incredibly glorious hair, we are not going to talk about my own personal foxy locksies. Which would have a different spelling than …

It snowed last night in the Boonies. I thought I would treat you all to a glimpse of the breathtaking beauty that we saw when we woke up this morning. All pictures were taken by my extraordinarily talented husband, the Big Bison, who totally rocks. P. S. You can click on them to make them …
