‘Sit a Spell’ is a Southern phrase meaning to enter a particular place and relax for a short period or ‘spell’. It’s a time of fellowship, friendship, and (usually) gossip.

I still don’t have a camper. A few plans have changed though getting one remains on my radar. In the meantime, this week some friends who do have a camper graciously invited me to spend some time with them at Lake Guntersville State Park. Of course, I jumped at the offer.

I went on a trip to the beach last week and got lots of really great pictures so instead of the usual collage, I’m going to share the best of the best with you. I left at 6 AM and decided I wanted to take my time and enjoy the day and the ride. It […]

Here’s how my brain works. I get information. I pay attention to about 30% of the information and then my brain comes in later and fills in the blanks. Kind of like an informational mad lib. My brain fills in these blanks with a pen which means once it’s there, there will be no update […]

~ Middle right ~ Is there anyone who hasn’t heard there will be an eclipse this month? As with most things in my life I hear about it in advance and somehow that time frame never changes in my head until suddenly IT’S A WEEK AWAY!!! I don’t even have my special glasses yet. Never fear […]
