People are always doing lists. I do lists too, but mostly about things I don’t want to forget. You know, chores-to-do lists. Grocery lists. Christmas card lists. Gift ideas lists. Birthday lists. One late night comedian has made his lists of ten a big part of his comedy. So I thought I’d jump in on the idea. The ten best …
~I didn’t set out to be a Santa collector. It just happened. Mostly because my daughter enjoys finding neat Santas and giving them to me for Christmas. More than half of my Santas have been gifts from her and her husband. It all started many years ago when all the kids were still living at home, none even thinking about …
~Here’s my granddaughter with the puppy I decided to keep from the litter the neighbor’s dog had in our garage. She’s a very cute puppy and my daughter-in-law named her Latte.

Although I have to admit the way we say Versailles with our Kentucky country pronunciation doesn’t make you think much of France. Then there’s California, KY – Washington, KY – Texas, KY – Moscow, KY – Newfoundland, KY. –I …
–Here’s one of my precious reasons for thanksgiving. I’ve got almost as many little grandbaby blessings to count as I do fingers. Nine beautiful blessings. –I knew I wanted to get married and have children when I was fourteen. I remember thinking about what I wanted to do in life one morning on the school bus and of course, I …

–I’ve been thinking about writing about how a story can be an intricate web like a spider web for a few weeks now, but I wanted a picture of a spider web to go with it. I went out to the free photo files on the internet. There were some great spider web shots on those sites and it said …
