On Skillet Cookies, Husbands, and Learning to Speak Sourdough
Hey folks, let’s chat…How’s it going? It’s a gorgeous day here in northeast Louisiana as I sit here writing to you from the back porch, albeit a tad chilly. (Here’s a screen shot, and I mean that literally. If the picture is fuzzy, blame it on said screen.) We always have a cold snap around Easter and this year is no different. The beloved farmer
More Coronavirus Thoughts or That time Papa and Mama acted up!
Hello friends, Papa had a birthday last weekend. He’s 81 years young. We celebrated him well. And yes, we had more than ten people in the house. But, if you’ll remember, the limit for gatherings was 50 at the time. Things are changing quickly aren’t they. I know it can be unsettling. I’m praying for you. I’m also praying for ways to reach more and more people

Hey friends! I’m so happy to share this! I wanted to offer some daily words of inspiration to y’all in this crazy time so I reached out to Barbour Publishing. They’re such good people!

Shellie’s Coronavirus Infomercial
Hello folks, let’s chat…If you're local, you'll remember the years I said those words to y'all on KNOE TV8. Many of you still meet me in public and tell me you remember those short videos. I appreciate that, too. Today, however, I want to talk to you about the Coronavirus because we’re all dying unless we’re not. Kidding. Breathe, y’all. I cleared my throat in
Festival Gators and A Belated Ground Hog Day Greeting
Hey y'all, I thought I'd post this because yesterday was Groundhog Day, and I'm nothing if not right on top of things around here, right? (Don't answer that. God "don't" like ugly.) This is a little excerpt from one of my humor books, Sue Ellen's Girl Ain't Fat, She Just Weighs Heavy. It occurred to me that A) I rarely mention them anymore, and B)
Hiding from the FBI and Other Big News
Hey folks! Are y'all wondering about that headline? I thought you might. I had to drop a little funny for two reasons. First, it's been so long since I sent out an email I figured you may be indeed thinking I was either hiding from the law or I had fallen off my kayak and become gator bait. Neither is true, as of this writing.

When Your Smart Device Taunts You
Hey y'all! See this bad boy? He’s officially called a Zenergy but there’s a story behind his new nickname and he is not as innocent as this pic would suggest. The beloved farmer and I bought him a while back. (I wrote about it here.) We used him for a while —until he somehow got unplugged, and sat alone through the busy holidays. I fixed
