Welcome back to the Story Table — Lend Me Your Ears, Friend
Hello friend, it's a beautiful evening here on the banks of Lake Providence, LA. The wet weather that's been hanging over us for a couple weeks now has finally broken. Thank you, Lord! The beloved farmer hasn’t made it in, but when he left at lunch he was hoping they’d be able to find a dry spot to kick #harvest2022 back off again. We’ll see.
Join Shellie and Jenny Dean Schmidt on The Story Table
Hello my friend! I interviewed Jenny Dean Schmidt, AKA The Channel Mom, on The Story Table. She has a new book out called, "Mom, You're Amazing", right here in time for Mother's Day!

Laughter, Road Trips, and a Podcast Tutorial for our Times
Happy November to you! I'm smiling as I type those words because the season of gratitude is upon us and I couldn't be happier about it. I'm counting my blessings and naming them one by one. High on my list is the good medicine recommended to us in Proverbs 17:22 -- LAUGHTER! As you've probably heard me say once or ten hundred times if you've
I am my people! And some inspiration to boot!
Surprise! It's me! I know. Back in May I told you I was taking a hiatus and I'd be back in September. Missed that by about five weeks, didn't I? All I can tell you is that September was a total blur around here. The beloved farmer has been trying to harvest (amidst ongoing weather challenges) and I've been on the road every weekend of

Chapter 15 of Sierra’s Story and a Video Lesson with Shellie
Happy Thursday afternoon to you! Here in northeast Louisiana we're enjoying an uncharacteristic break in the stifling temps and humidity. It's much appreciated, too! Although it occurs to me that this revelation will not help to explain my appearance in the accompanying video. Oh, well, I had something on my heart I wanted to say to y'all face to face, or at least as close
Chapter Fourteen of Sierra’s Story and a Mexican Chicken Remake
I had the folks up for lunch today, also known as Papa and The Queen of Us All. I wanted to see them before the beloved farmer and I pushed off in the morning for a little anniversary get-a-way. This sweet hunk of hard-working man has been my life-long love for 40 years come August 1st, and I still can't get enough time with him.
Chapter 13 of Sierra’s Story with Shellie’s Thoughts on Fallen Man, Flags, and Freedom
Hey friends! I hope life is treating you kindly. This week's newsletter is going to be brief. That dislocated finger I told y'all about last week turned out to be a bad fracture. I'm endeavoring to type with said finger buddy taped to the next one and enclosed in a hand brace. Tomorrow morning I'll find out if surgery is required. God is still good.
Sierra’s Story Chapter Twelve and so much more from Shellie!
Hey friends, Per my last report, we wrapped up the 5th Annual Pops and Keggie Kamp by returning the grands to their respective homes mostly intact and none too worse for wear. I compiled a video to capture the memories. You can find it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4B1bbsN6JY&t=22s The truth is, the only casualty of the week came at the expense of yours truly. Yeah, there's a story here.. I
Sierra’s Story Chapter Eleven with tired but happy greetings from Shellie
Hi, friends! The 5th Annual Pops and Keggie Kamp is in the books. I look forward to sharing more pics and stories with you, once I recover. As it stands, that will have to wait for another day. LOL. But, seriously, I’m a very grateful Keggie, just a tired one! As you can see, KenKen the Baby Friend had her own special Kamp shirt, white with
