It was 5:08. In the morning. Like clockwork, Dave had jumped in the bed an hour earlier, just to make sure, I surmise, that I hadn’t forgotten about him and our sacred walk time which always begins promptly at 5:15. After stumbling around in the dark searching for a pair of socks, I made my … More Smile
Moving to a new home, a much smaller home, after 21 years, provided us the perfect opportunity to downsize. Letting go of my stuff – clothes, momentos, chachkies, knickknacks, do-hickies, and dust filled time saving devices – was a painstaking process. “Trimming the Fat” is not for the faint of heart! Let’s face it, I … More On Moving

Although there’s not too … More Hope

Make sure you count three clicks to get the gear shift into drive. If … More Poppy’s Truck and Gratitude
We’ve had the honor of getting to know these two quite well. Roger and Shirree are a kind, and yet tenacious couple whose family always makes us smile. So when Roger flashed the engagement ring on Valentine’s Day, we were absolutely thrilled! Best wishes for a wonderful future!
As we near the day devoted to love, I thought it would be fun to take a trip down Memory Lane, and enjoy a precious moment that, at the very least, will hopefully precipitate not only a smile, but also a head tilt, followed by a softly uttered, “Awww, how sweet!” Well, that’s what I … More Proposal!!
Silence was our companion as we ambled along in downtown Greenville, MS. The streets were all but abandoned, save for a couple of pedestrians that we actually stopped. “Do you know the history behind this building, what was it used for?” “Don’t know for sure.
