Tuesday and a New Theme

It's the first Tuesday in August and time for a change. I'm thinking I may make Tuesday's Random Thoughts and make Friday's TGIF. That's the good part about blogging. You can do whatever you want. As long as you stay consistent. So a few random thoughts for today: One week until the graduate students return… Continue reading Tuesday and a New Theme

Guest Author Monday

Today please welcome our guest author -- Sandy Loyd When friends ask me what I love best about living in Kentucky, the list is long. The people are warm and welcoming. The weather isn’t too bad. Louisville is big enough to provide a cosmopolitan feel without the downside of larger cities like congestion and traffic.… Continue reading Guest Author Monday

Sunday Sundaes

First Sunday in August.  Hard to believe that we are entering the eighth month of the year. School begins in a week. University classes will begin the week after and the month will be nearly over. Time marches on faster and faster it seems every year. We need to make the most of our time.… Continue reading Sunday Sundaes

Play Date Saturday

Today I went to a baby shower where the nursery is being done in Monkies. So almost all the little girl clothes had a monkey on it.  And since that is one of the popular designs on the Carter's these days it was easy to buy for. I mean, one of the onesie sets I… Continue reading Play Date Saturday

Random Thoughts Friday

Set out my new pink dogwood today. Took a while to find the right spot for it. But it is in the ground and watered, giving off a small amount of shade to the brown tree frog that came to live in the stump of a former sugar tree that fell a few years back.… Continue reading Random Thoughts Friday

Recipe Tuesday

It's summer time and if you are growing  vegetables in your garden then I'm sure you probably have a few zucchini plants. I love zucchini whether it is fried rolled in cornmeal with okra, potatoes and onions or served sliced julienne style in salads. This recipe sounds yummy and I snagged it off Facebook. Don't… Continue reading Recipe Tuesday

Guest Author Monday

Join me in welcoming our guest author -- Nicole McCaffrey When I was little, one of my favorite summer activities was helping my grandmother tend the family graves.  We’d plant flowers, pull weeds and talk about who it was we were looking after—her mother, her grandmother, her great grandmother, and share what stories she remembered… Continue reading Guest Author Monday

Sunday Sundaes

Today is Vacation Bible School Commencement during the Sunday School hour. The kids in the younger classes learned songs during the week to sing. It is a blessing to listen to them and watch the youngest of the classes perform. They seem to be the largest group and yet they don't really sing. They might… Continue reading Sunday Sundaes
