Happy Thanksgiving This week we celebrate a special day. A day of thanksgiving. In school, we were taught about the pilgrims and their long ordeal in the New World. We take one day to remember the sacrifices made by them and others. We, as a country, have much to be thankful for. For most of …
IT\’S BEEN A LONG MONTH! Good morning! I’m a little behind, but if you know me well, you know it’s not unusual. There are now two books available in my “Nothing Shady Ever Happens in Shady Valley.” The third book is half-way finished. My plan, if I can do it, is to have it finished …
Up To Date I\’m a little late this month. I can blame it on cancer, but I won\’t. It\’s everything that happens with cancer and beginning treatments. With my diagnosis of cancer in July, I thought I had plenty of time to get ready for my book that releases October 5. I did not know …
Life\’s Changes Thursday, July 14, started as any other day. I prepared breakfast, did my morning routine, and got ready to go to the doctor. This doctor\’s appointment was very important. I\’d had a Core Biopsy the week before and we would be told the results at 2:30. Mammograms are something I do yearly. My …

Summer is here in Kentucky. Tomorrow we should have a heat index of 112-115 degrees. They say it will be the hottest it\’s been in two years. I know where I\’ll be. Someplace cool. Honestly, I love the summer fruits and vegetables. My husband plants a pretty good sized garden. I can and freeze several …
After this past week, I do not believe I am a summer person. 1 . I do not like to sweat! I\’d rather stay inside in the air conditioning drinking something cool than sitting on the patio drinking something cool. 2. I have allergies. I do not like to blow my nose, wipe my eyes, …
Memorial Day was first organized by formally enslaved people on May 5, 1866. Businesses closed their doors in remembrance of those soldiers who lost their lives fighting for freedom. Through the years, many men and women of all colors have lost their lives that we may have the freedoms we enjoy. This is the day …
