Lemonade $5.00
What!? $5.00 for a cup of lemonade!? What on earth is going on around here? Oh now, it's probably only 50 cents, so lets not get all stirred up. A few years ago as I was approaching the entrance to a grocery store - I saw four or five Girl Scouts standing outside - looking … Continue reading Lemonade $5.00
Run Forrest! Run!
I was at a doctor's appointment one time (go figure) and after the nurse took my blood pressure and pulse, she said, "Wow, do you run? Your resting heart rate is that of a marathon runner." Now, now, one naturally would assume that I am a runner... I said to her (with a kind type of … Continue reading Run Forrest! Run!
Happy Fry Day, Y’all!
Do you see the little dog paws in this picture? Yeah, the ground gets HOT for these guys. If you bend down and touch the sidewalk, street, whatever, it will certainly let you know if four paws should be walking on it - or not. Dogs want to go for a walk at any given time, it's up … Continue reading Happy Fry Day, Y’all!

Forgiveness is not a hot topic. You can usually look at a situation that keeps presenting itself and when … Continue reading Forgiveness?
How low can you go?
As I sit here thinking about how Peter and James pretty much say the exact same thing about humbling oneself (to make low) - waaaait a second! Isn't this blog today about this fun picture of Chubby Checker and the dance party album!?? Um no, well, sort of. Now where was I? Oh yeah, so … Continue reading How low can you go?
Whew! Much better
I will start by saying that I love these creatures! If bugs creep you out, then well, I am sure this picture freaked you out. My siblings and I grew up calling this bug a locust, but it's actually a cicada (click here if you simply must know more: Bugs 101). I used to find these … Continue reading Whew! Much better
OCD-A
Somebody needs to call the sheriff, we have crumbs on the counter. Or is that a five alarm? I can't remember. Oh Calm Down, Already. Raise your hand if you have OCD. Okay, not the diagnosed kind, that would be just wrong and insensitive of me. I am talking the - don't make a sandwich on … Continue reading OCD-A
Your turn
Clay comes from the ground, usually in areas where streams or rivers once flowed. It is made from minerals, plant life, and animals—all the ingredients of soil. Over time, water pressure breaks up the remains of flora, fauna, and minerals, pulverizing them into fine particles. - giftedartisan.com Pulverized. All lost hope, past mistakes, failures, old … Continue reading Your turn
