This month my book club is reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I am really enjoying this book. In fact, I’m off to run a hot bath, pour a glass of wine, and soak and read for a while. Ahhh… Just what I need after a long day! Tennis update: I lost again in…
I have these hanging in the bay window in my breakfast area. I bought them in an antique shop in Appomattox a long time ago. They are one of the fall things that I look forward to seeing again. It’s too bad that it is dark when I leave in the morning and dark when…
You never know what a 7th grader is going to say. Here’s a conversation from today: Student: You know them sticks you pee on to tell if you are pregnant? Me: Excuse me? Student: You know, those sticks you pee on. Me: (Staring – Not saying anything) Student: My ditty (Daddy) says “If it’s blue,…
Come on inside my home and see the little bit of Halloween decorating that I’ve done. Actually, I can’t wait for Halloween to be over so that I can get out my turkeys. My dad grew all of these gourds. I’ve had them for a long time now. I really like the big ones! I…

I love autumn decorations! Each weekend I’ve been adding a little more and changing things around a bit. Today I’ll share what is on my screened porch. This is a wreath that I have hanging on the wall. I made it several years ago. I don’t know if you can see it, but there are…
This is what my life has been like for the past week! Things are finally calming down a little bit. The first grading period just ended at school and I’ve been burried with work. I didn’t bring any “homework” home this weekend. Yippee! Last night we had a tennis social at the club. Remember the…

I’m attending a conference at JMU on Thursday, so I’m spending tonight and Thursday night with my mom. Mama lives a lot closer to JMU than I do, so staying with her will allow me to get a little more sleep on Thursday. My school friends will pick me up on their way to JMU…
Saturday was jammed with activity. I’m training for the Star City Half Marathon on November 17, so I started the day with a long run. My running buddy and I ran 11 miles. Slowly, we are getting there. When it was time to stop, I wasn’t that tired and I felt like I could have…
One of my friends invited me to join her book club, so I had to order my book asap so that I’ll have enough time to read it. The good thing about this club is that it is ok if you don’t read the book. Some months everyone reads it and some months hardly anyone…
Every time my mother comes to see me, she brings me a little something. On Sunday it was a bag of Gala apples from a local orchard. I’ve had one each day at lunch, but what I’m really looking forward to are the Fuji apples. They’ll be out later this month. When she came earlier…
