Silver Serve

Look what Mama gave me!! She gave it to me, the Sat. after her party, when we visited her. Apparently I had a silver spoon too, given to me by our insurance man. Who knew I’d been born with a silver spoon in my mouth?? Not me!! And my fear of running out of t.p.,Continue reading “Silver Serve”

Darling Decorations

Look out world! Mama’s graduating into a new decade!! The Matriarch of the Chaney/Hawkins families will be 80 years old on June 5th!! Congrats, Mama!! Now, on to planning the party!! For years, nay decades even!! Mama has been in love with giraffes. Now, she’s added butterflies! What?? When’d that happen?? Apparently when Aunt Opal,Continue reading “Darling Decorations”

Publix Picnic

So, here we are at Publix. The greatest grocery store in the states, bar none! Soon as we walked, walked?? Okay, rolled* in, we headed to the deli for dinner. Mom walked. (That’s just the way Dallas and I roll!) I crack myself up!! MAN!! Those wings smelt divine!! So, we grabbed a box. SmellingContinue reading “Publix Picnic”

Tres

It’s Jan 6, 2022. First anniversary of the Capitol “Insurrection”. Not going into it much. Did you see the video of the capitol police opening the gates for the crowd?? That doesn’t fit the narrative of the angry crowd “storming the capitol.” Did you know the political prisoners have been in jail almost a yearContinue reading “Tres”

Great Grandmama

We picked up the girls on Christmas eve, and drove straight to Mama’s for family Christmas. We’ve celebrated on Christmas Eve, ever since I married Sweet Friend, in 1984. That way, our birth family celebration didn’t clash with in-law’s. And the system has worked great, thru all the different in-laws. The only fly in theContinue reading “Great Grandmama”

Holly Hands

This post is being written waaaay back in February, too. Just like the Veteran’s Day post. So, if I pre-schedule, I can relax later. Right?? These were made for Sis’ class Christmas 2020. Not needed for that anymore, so now their purpose is to be pretty for you!! Another wreath. How about this one? AndContinue reading “Holly Hands”

So Sorry, sigh

I’m sorry I let us both down, not writing a post every day. But one of these new meds has knocked me out!!I mean I can barely get up to change my diaper when it’s way past full. (They do have limits!!) I slept thru dinner 3 nights in a row! Now you KNOW IContinue reading “So Sorry, sigh”

Thankful for Thanksgiving

I will give thanks!! God says to! and I really try to follow the Bible, but since I’m not divine, I screw it up! I love thanking God for ALL his many blessings! I don’t have cancer! I’m still alive!! My mind still functions, at least to a minimum standard! lol Sometimes the standards areContinue reading “Thankful for Thanksgiving”

Grandpa & Grandma

Since I’ve lauded Granny Chaney, now it’s time to spotlight Grandpa, and Grandma Hawkins, Dad’s parents. I’m so blessed that I knew both sets of grandparents. I even knew some great grands!! That seems to be a rare thing, and I’m so enriched, to have known them. Grandpa was a phosphate miner. The mine wasContinue reading “Grandpa & Grandma”

Nice November

Since Nov. 25 is Thanksgiving Day, this series will be 30 days of giving thanks. I’m going to try to post every day. I want to give thanks to God for everything good in my life. Giving thanks is so healthy!! Some people call it gratitude. Whatever you call it, we need to have anContinue reading “Nice November”
