FIVE STATES IN ONE DAY

When I left Tennessee I really didn’t know how many states I would be traveling through.  I knew I would go through Missouri but not Kentucky and Illinois.  It seemed like I was in Illinois forever.  I must have been traveling north and up Illinois and not just straight across.  This trip was over 9 [...]

TENNESSEE PT 2

I promised photos of the house.  I only took them on the bottom floor because the upstairs is all bedrooms. 

There are two pantries.  One on each side of the hallway from the kitchen to the dining room.  She is going to kill me that I showed you the messy pantry.  She can’t keep this straight [...]

TENNESSEE

I visited my best friend Dawn in Clarksville, Tn.  It was so much fun.  Her mom, the woman I took as my own mother, visited too.  We had a great time.  The first morning I had to borrow Dawn’s comfy shoes.  Mine were in the Jeep, which was at her husbands shop getting some needed [...]

#200 I HAVE BEEN LAME

This post was started on April 12 and now it is April 19.

This is why I am trying [...]

ROAD TRIP

Yesterday was a very full day.  We hit the road around 8am with 3 dogs and it was already 86 degrees. There was a lot of traffic because of the 4th of July holiday weekend.  Things were going really well though until this…..

Taz kept ripping them off.  Having such a sensitive smeller I am always [...]

THE MOVE

Let me just say that I officially hate summer in the South.  With temperatures in the high 90’s topping the 100 degree mark and humidity so heavy you can put soap on your dishes, wave them in the air and they are washed.  Well that last bit was an exageration but not by much.  Saturday [...]

MOVING DAY & ANNIVERSARY

Here I sit.  I am tired and have been the entire week.  I need a shower, going there after I get through posting. Eating a scrambled egg sandwich for breakfast because that is all there is in the house and I can drive to get anything. My truck has a trailer on the back of [...]
