  • Of All the Things Y’all Could Remember… 😂

    Y’all, I’m beginning to think I’ve been remembering the wrong things for nearly sixty years. 😂 Here I am, just sixteen days away from turning 60, sharing little pieces of my life in this 30 Days to 60 adventure. And let me tell you, I’ve got plenty of memories to choose from. I’ve served in…

  • The Conversations We Carry Home

    I spent a good part of this past week traveling down memory lane, and by Sunday afternoon, Mabel had carried us all the way back home from Texas. Between the stories I’ve been sharing for my 30 Days to 60 countdown and our trip to celebrate Grandma Delcie’s 95th birthday, I’ve had plenty to think…

  • So I Guess I’ve Meal Planned 😂

    Friday was my day off from AutoZone, and I had plans. Not exciting plans, mind you. The kind involving laundry, couch covers, a little business work, and hopefully enough coffee to keep everything moving in the right direction. I’d been sneezing for what felt like forever, so I opened the windows to air out the…

  • Sometimes the Win Is Noticing What Moved Forward

    I had plans for Friday. Now, if you’ve been around my kitchen table very long, you probably already know that’s usually the beginning of a story. 😂 Friday was supposed to include getting my Scout Stash email out. Nothing complicated. Just one of those things sitting on the list that I fully intended to handle…

  • Not Everything Gets to Decide What Happens Next

    Some weeks are loud. Not necessarily bad. Not necessarily dramatic. Just… loud. Everything seems to walk through the door at the same time hollering, “ME FIRST!” That was my week. At work, I had schedules and hours that needed mathing. And y’all know how I feel about math that insists I have twelve hours to…

  • Sometimes the Plan Needs an X Cut in It

    Sometimes a good plan doesn’t need to be abandoned when real life gets in the way. It may simply need adjusting ~ whether that’s a kitchen routine, a weekly rhythm, or a spare tire cover blocking the backup camera. 😂

  • When Yesterday You Leaves You a Little Help

    Monday started with the power out. Again. 😂 At this point, September seems determined to make sure Bubba and I get our money’s worth out of that generator. I had an interview to do at 5:00pm that afternoon, so I managed to miss the downpour. By the time I got home, though, the electricity had…

  • Vacation Memories We Never Planned

    We left home last Sunday with a destination. Well, technically, we had several destinations, a cabin named Ellie’s Escape, four dogs, enough stuff packed to suggest we might never return and Mabel, a brand-new Jeep neither one of us had completely figured out yet. 😂 We were headed to the mountains for our anniversary trip,…

  • Ready Doesn’t Have to Mean Everything Got Done

    I am writing this Saturday night with bags mostly packed, an ice chest staged, the furry children’s travel arrangements handled, coffee and road snacks accounted for, and Bubba cooking supper. Notice I said mostly packed. There are still things that could be done tonight. There are probably things I will remember tomorrow morning after we’re…

  • Some Things Can Wait Until Tomorrow

    Monday morning, I already had unfinished business waiting on me. If you’ve followed along this week, you probably saw me talking about one of those reports at work that had me scratching my head. We’d done the work. I had numbers showing we’d done the work. Then the official report came along basically saying, “Nope.”…
