Verret Street Baptist Church"I have simply stopped arguing with reality. How do I know the wind should blow? It's blowing. How do I know this is the highest order? It's happening. Arguing with 'what is' is like teaching a cat to bark. It's not very fulfilling. I am my friend…

Elvis

Me and an Elvi at Mardi Gras 2009Today is the day Elvis died in 1977. I remember exactly where I was at the time I heard - working in a pharmacy in the small town where I grew up. I wasn't really an Elvis fan but my co-worker, Laura Sue,…

Lil Ernge

What's more orange than an orange cat? This is Leo aka "Little Orange" aka "Lil Ernge" (in Yat-speak) back in May of '08. He was a feral kitten who was sitting under the hood of the neighbors car (unbeknownst to her) when she started it up. He suffered two broken…

Flashback Friday: It Tears Me Up

When I was in Jr High (now called middle school) my best friend was Ramona.She was everything I wasn't: tall with long straight chestnut hair, blue eyes and a cute, little up-turned nose. I don't remember how we met, exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was at church. Church activities…

Misty Day

Apparently tropical depression #5 passed over us last night ~ I wouldn't know because I was fast asleep in "the land of dreamy dreams" ~and the remnants are still being seen today with the area being under a flash flood watch. I don't know about all that. All I know…

The Perseids Are Coming!

I Want To Live Joyously, In Spite of

Last night I watched the movie Frida for the second time. The first time was only about 3 weeks ago and I was completely mesmerized by the clothes, the jewelry, the art, the interior and exteriors sets and, of course, the love story between Frida and Diego. I was very…

Blackberries

She slams the car door and begins the walk across the gravel lot toward the building. The way is familiar, the steps repetitive.....this is a path she follows at least twice a day, five days a week.Today becomes different. As she walks she looks up through the branches of the…

Daily Giggle

Here's my daily giggle via my friend Rachel on FaceBook last night. Seriously, I almost peed myself.
