I started seeing pebbles hitting the Jeep. I said out loud to myself (because I always talk to myself), "Where are these pebbles coming from?" It took me several seconds to realize those weren't pebbles!…
If you think most people support cancel culture, you are wrong. …
If you have gardening deficits like I do, you grow something that is almost impossible to kill. Something so hardy that it borders on invasive. Something like...…

I was banging on the window screaming, "BRIAN! TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND!!"…
Everything will be edible, of course. I'm especially excited about the beautiful Atomic Grape Tomatoes. Check out those colors!! I even found a toothache plant which looks like something out of Little Shop of Horrors. How cool is that?…
It actually felt more like Christmas last weekend than it felt like on Christmas. It snowed for 12 hours straight! We had snowball fights and sledding and it was a truly magical weekend!…
Who knew that large dogs and large dinner plates could be so dangerous???…
She laughed, and said, "We only get an inch of snow here per year. The systems wind around the mountains and hit Chattanooga." Yeah, RIGHT!!!…

If you'll excuse my horrific handwriting (I was freaking out when I drew this) and my non-artist skills, here is a picture I drew for doctors since nobody seemed to understand what I was describing... I'm NOT referring to the eyeball picture that headlines this story! ;)…

After a month of having our adorable "big baby," we have determined that Tank is...special.…
I was on the other side of the door, watching the doorknob mysteriously turn. I thought we had a ghost! But, then the door opened and Tank pranced out, head held high, proud as can be...…
While the skeleton costumes looked fantastic, they were VERY uncomfortable. One size fits all = One size is very uncomfortable for all. Brian's pants wouldn't bend when he sat down. My pants were too tight around the knees (I do NOT have large knees) but ginormously huge around the waste so they kept trying to fall down. But, it was all for a good cause (the entire city was invited) so, instead of whining about mis-fitting polyester, we...…
A couple of weeks ago, I told Brian, "I've seen so many little white shooting stars in my life but I'd REALLY like to see one of those big fireball meteors before I die!" And, then, it happened!!…
Tank was lying on his back on MY side of the bed, with his head on my pillow and his legs in the air, bent at the knees! The only thing missing was a pair of glasses on his snout and a novel in his paws...…
Tank and Moon were previously owned by a couple in their 30s who surrendered them because they were moving. The guy at the Humane Society was noticeably upset, and said....…
I blurted out, "I'm terrified of people who wear stethoscopes!" He immediately ripped his off. That did not help...…
On their second night out in the camper with the kids and the dog, the carbon monoxide detector under the bed went off in the middle of the night! They grabbed the babies and ran out of the trailer. But, there was no CO leak...…
They were flying under the porch ceiling, in front of us, behind us, over our heads, etc. I said, "It's only a matter of time before one of them flies into one of us. Keep your glasses on so you don't lose an eye!"…
Many kids are attending school virtually right now. And, there is no shortage of parents complaining about their kids spending more time in front of a computer screen than they ever did in class, and, sadly, lots of stories about frustration and tears. I'm here to tell you that it does NOT need to be that way!…
We forgot our key so the nice lady behind the counter got our mail for us. But, she accidentally grabbed the mail from the wrong box. I started flipping through our mail. It wasn't ours. Guess whose it was?…
We have pie pumpkins, bumpy pumpkins, miniature pumpkins...AND MUCH MORE!…
I mentioned a couple of things that happened recently in our lives. She shook her head and said she already knew. I said, "How?"…
When we first moved here, a contractor who was coming at a certain time of day asked me, "Eastern or Central?" Duh, dude! Eastern. It didn't take me long to figure out why he asked me that...…
As I continued to scrape my fingernails deeply and repeatedly across my entire foot, I responded, "Sure! A shot. A serrated knife. Whatever you can grab is fine. But please do it really fast because I AM GOING INSANE!" She gave me a funny look, and...…

I woke up one morning last week with awful pain between two of my ribs on my front, left side...…
Since we moved here late in the planting season, and since we were then sick for two weeks, we're VERY late in getting seeds in the ground. We have planted giant pumpkins (not for eating - for FUN!), sweet onions, green onions, and herbs. But, that's all so far. My question is...what can we plant this late in the season that we can still harvest before the first freeze in October?…
Once I started feeling better, I made the mistake of watering the garden, planting some onions, doing three loads of laundry...…
Georgia has a seemingly infinite variety of scary creepy crawly things. We've been taking lots of pictures of what we've discovered (not only outdoors, but INSIDE as well), and we thought it would be super fun to have a contest today...…
I jumped into the road in front of her truck, waving my arms, and yelling, "OH NO NO NO NO NO! You are NOT LEAVING!!"…
