ATS Facebook Funny of the Week Nomination
Earlier in the week, I got an email that said one of my friends had posted a picture of me on Facebook. Clicking through, I found this: Now, in her defense, my new Facebook friend was sharing the picture to opine on this http://shellierushingtomlinson.wordpress.com/2011/08/30/anthrax-in-lp/ post. She wasn't necessarily saying I looked like a pig, (I don't think!). However, for a belle is who is out there trying to
Cheater’s Bread Pudding
Welcome back to the ATS kitchen. Most every good southern cook has a bread pudding recipe in her bag of tricks but you’ll have to search high and low for one as good and easy as this one. I call this my Cheater’s Bread Pudding, folks. It skips a step by starting with bakery donuts instead of making your own sweet bread. Try this one,
Anthrax in LP?
Hey y'all! Today is National Holistic Pet Day! I looked it up, it means we should be considerate of our pets' physical, psychological, and social lives. Hmmm
Uncle Ham Gets Even
My friend’s uncle is a rancher out in Texas. Uncle Ham’s been well off, but thanks to some wise investments he has slowly amassed a sizeable fortune. Well, the news is out. Lately Uncle Ham’s been contacted by anyone and everyone collecting money for a worthy cause. Last week, someone from the local university, Uncle Ham’s old alma mater, showed up unannounced at his office,

This Belle hates to miss a good shindig…
If you are Mr. or Mrs. Goodread, you'll need to give me some time to get up to basics, but after hearing everyone and their mama ask me why I wasn't "active" on Goodreads, I've decided there MUST be something there I'm missing. And you do know this belle can't stand the idea of missing a good party-- especially if it's about words. So-- I'm
I’m Having Withdrawals
It's done. I've packed my and Phil's lunches and I'm headed to the field (laptop in tow) to visit with my hard-working husband. Today's experiment will be to see if I can write on the combine. No, I won't be driving. The darling man will be at the controls. Harvest is always a long hard season around here. Eight hour workdays are unheard of on the farm! This translates
Nat’l Kiss and Makeup Day (or settling for a forced peace)
In observance of Nat'l Kiss and Makeup Day, I dedicate this post to my fine Southern Mama who believed a forced peace was better than none at all. If my sisters and I fought, and oh did we fight, Mama would make us sit under the dining room table with our arms around each other's shoulders until we could get along. As I may have mentioned in
Lost in a Peanuts Cartoon Strip
Do y'all remember this post: http://shellierushingtomlinson.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/do-i-look-like-charlie-brown/ where I asked if I looked like Charlie Brown? Well, the madness continues. I'm beginning to think I'm lost in a Peanuts cartoon strip. If you're a regular around the ATS porch, you know that one of my daily duties is to play tennis with Dixie Belle, AKA the Squirrel Patrol Czar. I have long since given up merely throwing her ball. I
