In Plain Sight

July 11, 2021 Several years ago, I sought Joe’s advice on where I should hide something to keep the boys from finding it (it was probably jelly beans 😂). His reply was that the best method was to hide it in plain sight. Joe had proven the effectiveness of this strategy on the day heContinue reading “In Plain Sight”

Mean as a Snake

July 4, 2021 There once was a man traveling to the top of a mountain. A snake approached and begged the man to let him rest in his pocket on the way up. The snake promised not to bite him, so he agreed. When they reached the top, the snake bit the man. His lastContinue reading “Mean as a Snake”

Get Somewhere and Get Still

June 27, 2021 Mama Eula loved everybody. I know everyone believes they have the sweetest grandma in the world, but I’m telling you…she was about as sweet as they come. I NEVER heard her say an unkind thing about anyone. I never even heard her raise her voice (and I promise you we all gaveContinue reading “Get Somewhere and Get Still”

Right Hand Man

June 20, 2021 Vacation season is upon us! My Facebook memories have been FLOODED the past few weeks with vacation pictures, honeymoon pictures, etc. I love these pictures of Joe and Jackie Beth, because they seem to exemplify my own personal philosophy that if you can just get your toes in the sand, it’s allContinue reading “Right Hand Man”

Forever And Ever Amen

June 12, 2021 **The blog is a little bit different this week. Joe wrote these words, just not in the little black notebook. These are the words he wrote on my heart. Back to the notebook next week, I promise.** Today is our wedding anniversary. Don’t you be sad for me—I mean it. Well, ok,Continue reading “Forever And Ever Amen”

Stormy Weather

June 6 2021 Joe was predictable. It was part of his charm. He wore button fly Levi jeans dungarees. He wore Sperry’s. He wore soft knit Polo shirts and plaid Polo button ups. He wore his cap propped on top of his head like he was hiding a small kitten under it. He wore aContinue reading “Stormy Weather”

Because He Lives

May 30, 2021 Cinderella. That was the name Joe picked out as he waited for his new baby sister to arrive. He was excited about having a sibling–a playmate–a partner in crime. Cinderella (we call her Sarah 😀) arrived, and friends visited with food and gifts. One sweet, thoughtful neighbor, Mrs. Marjorie Shivar, brought aContinue reading “Because He Lives”

Tying the Knot

May 23, 2021 These pictures were taken when Joe and I tied the knot. Here’s another way we tied a knot: Once upon a time there was a sock. This lone sock kept ending up on the dryer. I thought it belonged to Joe, so I kept putting it on the stack of laundry IContinue reading “Tying the Knot”

Good Old Days

May 16, 2021 Joe and I didn’t date. We courted. Joe didn’t wear jeans or shorts. He wore dungarees and short pants or short britches. Joe didn’t go to the beach. He went down to the coast. Joe wore denim overalls to work, and he listened to Willie’s Roadhouse (Monday-Saturday) and the Pinecone Bluegrass ShowContinue reading “Good Old Days”

Enough

May 8, 2021 In case you wondered, this picture explains where Joe got those pretty eyes–from his mama! Just look at her…she had pretty everything…and she still does! But what I really want you to notice are her hands. She is holding sweet little Joe. Her arms are wrapped around him securely. Does she lookContinue reading “Enough”
