It’s Not Good To Think You’re Right When You’re Wrong
Beloved Hubby got a surprise in the mail a while back. Neither of us remembered intentionally running a red light on our last togetherness trip to Houston but there it was, a clear picture of our car going under a traffic light while it was red. “Smile, you’re on Candid Camera” and here’s a little fine to remember us by. Thanks, Texas. Photographic evidence

Boudreaux Has Trouble with a Tourist
It's been ages since we checked in with Boudreaux, and of course, that’s won’t do. So, yesterday I called down to the Big Easy and asked our favorite Cajun what kind of mischief he’d been stirring up lately. Boudreaux said he’d been keeping his nose out of trouble but I told him that was hard to believe. I guess that jogged his memory, as he
George Washington
He was born into a prosperous Virginia farming family. During the course of his life he was, by turns, a surveyor, a planter, and a soldier. A lack of information about his childhood fueled many of the stories that were later told by ambitious and over-reaching biographers. Included in those tales that were subsequently questioned is the famous story of an honest boy and an
Praying and Snoring, Not Meant to Go Hand in Hand
Yes, I am strange. It's a life-long condition. With that preface aside, Dixie Belle and I hold hands occasionally during our early morning prayer times. This morning she tired of praying earlier than usual. Maybe it was the drizzling rain falling on the other side of the screened in porch

Paradise Ain’t Cheap
I took the following pictures a couple of weeks ago in Seaside, FL. You may remember me irritating everyone talking about my little writer's getaway at Escape to Create and how much I enjoyed it. This first one was hanging in the eating area of one of the little beach side establishments. "Paradise Ain't Cheap"-- I felt sure it had been hung there as an ode to
Which Way is the Right Way
I have two reasons for sharing that adorable video I just posted at All Things Southern. A) I have access to the media player and B) I couldn’t help myself. That’s my adorable three-year-old granddaughter, Emerson Ann, reciting one of her Bible verses. Yes, I do realize how partial I sound but I double dog dare you to watch it and not smile. Go ahead,
