  • Thanks to Joe, I have another "smart blonde" joke! Here goes: A cop pulls over a blonde. "Ma'am, do you realize that you were going way over the speed limit? May I see your license?" "Oh, I never got one. Couldn't be …

  • I woke up at a quarter to six today,and tried to back to sleep till seven! I wrote some more on my story, and am greatly enjoying it. It's funny, I enjoy my own story as much as any other! We planted yesterday, and pla…

  • Rain, rain, off and on, rain, rain....I miss the big ol' Memphis Library! (And the SD one...) Low on reading material....blue, blue, almost navy-blue....

  • I'm going to ramble. You have been warned! No less than seven people have posted since yesterday, not counting me! Keep up the good posts, peoples! Savannah has told Christie and I that on a certain street…

  • We went swimming today, and on the way home, I found 26 blackberries. The funny thing is, on my birthday Timothy told me that thirteen would be lucky for me, because that was my age! Superstitious fun, yes, but it is a f…

  • Church was good, as always. Savannah Frich is here to play, and we've all been having fun! It's funny and exasperating, but one has the oddest thoughts pop into one's head during church! (Well, not always, but it does…

  • I just came in from a walk in the woods...The sun on the damp earth evoked a rich, warm, spicy fragrance. There were still some pearly drops on some of the plants, and the sun glinted through them. The world was green, g…

  • I made spaghetti...Mama and Joe went down to P'cola to stay with Pawpaw over night....the sprinkler system was installed last night....it's raining....nothing to do....TTFN....

  • Oh, what a life!! Last night, Daddy transferred my story from the kids' computer in the sunroom (which doesn't have Internet) to Mama's computer (which does!) Karen, might I ask that you see that Jacob gets to read it? H…

  • I just got back from babysitting the Frich kids....just me! Of course, they're not hard to watch. We watched Narnia again, ate ice cream, and that was all. Oh, and we tussled with the little girlies! Nothing else to post…

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOE!! As I promised Mr. Gene a day or so ago, here's the legend of the dogwood: There is a legend that at the time of the Crucifixion the dogwood had been the size of th…

  • HAPPY EASTER!! We had the Friches over for Easter, and we all made a regular feast: ham, corn, mashed potatoes, green beans, squash and bread. Yum! Then we did…

  • Daniel and I just got back from babysitting the Frich kids. We had mac and cheese for lunch, and popsicles afterward. Then we played outside, had pizza for dinner, and our choice of ice cream and popsicles after. Natural…

  • I found a great joke book! (never mind where....j/k!) Here's a sample: Nothing is more exasperating than getting in the lane behind a guy who is observing the speed limit. A meek little man in a restaurant timidly…

  • We just got home from doing some errands. Mama bought four more Encore azaleas and a camellia tree. Then we went to Sam's and got some stuff for dinner: 24 miniature corn-on-the-cob ears, broccoli, and salmon, and to go …

  • Well, today went pretty well. Miss Becky Frich made us a potful of taco soup. (I had seen the recipe in the trailer, so I gave it to her.) I was also delighted to hear from Miss Kathy. My friends are all so encouraging! …

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICHELLE! Michelle, as of today, is seventeen. And for eight days, she is the same age as Joe! Ain't it great? I'm intending to call her and wish …

  • Here's a joke especially for Tim and Kyle.... After rear-ending my car, the young man came running to my door and asked, "Are you okay?" "I'm not sure," I said, handing him my business card. "Oh, no!" he g…

  • We had left-overs for tonight....pizza from Dan's birthday figured pretty well! To quote a letter written by a lady to her husband: I write because I have nothing to do. I leave off because I have nothing to say! *shrugs…

  • We went swimming again today! I love summer! (for one thing, I was born in it....June, to be exact!) Joe and Paul both dove in, and threw the little kids around. Paul also conceived the novel idea of tossing Christie in …

  • Mama left for CA today....which meant that I had to make dinner. Well, we found out at the last minute that we didn't have any cauliflower (or if it was there, we couldn't find it!) so dinner was just pot roast and mashe…

  • Lorna Doone is tough reading....I think I can stick with it, though. "Look at your Frenchmen there--your..... conceited Frenchmen! Durien, Barizel, Bouchardy. What can a Frenchman talk of, hein? Only himself, a…

  • Before I start, I should like to humbly apologize to Ryan for my infuriated e-mail. I asked him what he meant by his insulting comment, and informed him that I was not a freak. It turns out that he was saying that to Chr…

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DANIEL! The snowcone place is open again, Dan is sixteen today, I found a box of books upstairs, the world is green and grand!

  • I just finished Karen's book....It was great! Laura, take heart. I'm at present trying to get the wheels moving to get my story transferred so I can send it to you, and the Kirks. I have such nice friends! I've always ha…

  • Ahh....I love Sundays! It being the first Sunday of the month, we had a potluck! (So, who's going to join our church?) Daddy preached on The Advocacy of Christ. As always, he was wonderful. For once, Christie and I were …
