Dear Dad, There are some people who say that a girl’s first love is her father. I have to agree with them. I love you beyond measure. I could probably count on one hand the number of times that I know of that I disappointed you. You never showed any anger towards me or Tim, or to Mom that I can recall. You have always shown me love and support. You have held my hand through this journey I call life. You have given me a hug when I didn’t know I needed one. You have wiped away my tears […]
10 Summer Reads for 2016
I’m a bit of a book nerd. I love to crack open a book and smell the pages. That, to me, is book heaven. I know, it’s a little weird, but I’m sure you’ll crack open a book or two this summer. Just remember to smell the pages. I’ve already read (actually listed to via audiobook) a couple of these books on my Summer Reads list – The Girl on the Train and Where’d You Go, Bernadette. They were really good! I’m glad I read/listened to The Girl on the Train before the movie came out! 1. The Girl on a […]

Take Me Back to the 80’s (Movies, that is)
What better way to spend time with your friends and family this summer than to watch some classic movies from the 1980s. Most people my age remember some of the classic movies of our generation, especially the ones from the 80s. Those were some classic movies! Of the some 31,000+ movies that were made between 1980 and 1989, here is a short list of some of my favorites. We had the John Hughes movies, such as The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Some of my other favorite movies include The Princess Bride, Dirty […]
Green Acres in the Garden
My Grandpa Lashlee could grow any vegetable any where, in any soil. When he and my Grandma Lashlee lived with my parents in Gulfport, Miss., my grandpa grew the best tasting veggies in the sandy soil. Then when they moved up here to East Tennessee, my grandpa grew the best tasting veggies in the red clay hillside behind the house they shared with my mom and dad. Cucumbers, jalapeno peppers, radishes, okra, watermelons, tomatoes, grapes, blackberries, mustard greens… oh my goodness, I could go on for days listing everything in his garden! You name it, he probably grew it! He had […]
