I am a terrible liar and have never been able to "get away" with anything. However, in the last week, I have done a few "sneaky" things and gotten away with them ( Read more... )

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. My Grandmother passed away so we had to leave Derby night to go to New York. I am so sad about it because she really was the sweetest person I have ever met. I never saw her get angry. Not once. She was so wise and understanding and I am having a hard time fathoming that she isn't here anymore. I know she ( Read more... )

*****I wrote this about a month ago. The power went out suddenly and I thought it was lost. I logged in today and found that it was saved as a draft. Guess I was having a bad day ( Read more... )

This has been a whirlwind day. Roger's car has been acting up and may not last much longer. It has 200,000 miles on it so that is perfectly understandable. So, we started looking for new vehicles for him and he fell in love with one ( Read more... )

We are scheduled to close on our house at noon on Friday. I am super-excited but terrified at the same time. Now, if something breaks, there is no more maintenance department to call. We have to fix it ourselves. It is a huge responsibility but I am looking forward to it. Plus, the fur babies will finally have a yard all their own to run and play ( Read more... )

Well, we did it. We put an offer in on a house. We both absolutely love it. It is a 3 bedroom brick house with all hardwood floors upstairs. All the kitchen appliances are brand new and stay except for a fridge. There is a huge mostly finished basement with a fire place. The backyard is good sized and completely fenced for the fur babies. There is ( Read more... )

I really need to learn patience. I used to have some. Seriously, I never got upset about anything. Then, I started working in retail and law enforcement and lost every ounce I ever possessed and then some ( Read more... )

Papa died on May 14. I was at work when I got the phone call. I was working a 12 hour shift and had only been at work for 30 minutes when mom called. Shannon drove from Memphis to Nashville so her and Jenny could drive up together. Roger and I left Sunday night and got there about 3 pm on Monday. Visitation was on Tuesday and the burial was on ( Read more... )
