“Bad hair days” are universal. We’ve ALL had them. We’ve all had the bad perms. We’ve all had bad haircuts before too. Sometimes, both at the same time. But MY biggest nemisis, in addition to the Battle of the Gray, is humidity. Humidity is not my friend. It [...]

“Did you throw a cat out your window last night?” Honest to God, a lady asked me that question yesterday afternoon. This was from yet another new neighbor, not the Rude Rednecks next door. No, this one is a prissy, snotty young redheaded girl who apparently thought she saw me toss a [...]

Here is a sweet video.
If this doesn’t touch your heart, I don’t know what will.

I can’t watch it without tearing up. God love it!

That’s right! Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful Summer day. I realize that it’s October, but it’s also the reason I jumped all over the opportunity to go to the beach. It typically stays pretty warm through the end of October, but not usually warm enough to lay out at the beach.

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Adam Murray – the happy couple. This is the nicest picture that I have.
First off, you MUST know what a quick and very low-key wedding reception this was. Clearly nothing fancy. There was no wedding gowns to pick out, bouqets to throw, centerpieces to create, favors to give [...]

All went fantastic!  With only a week and a half notice, it really did turn out to be a fantastic day.  It was an absolutely perfect day.  The happy couple were, in fact, HAPPY.  But can I dare say. . . . I’M exhausted!I need a vacation day just to recover.  I’m not sure when [...]
