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”

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”

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”

May 2, 2021 Y’all, Joe told a small fib in his lesson this week. I hate to sell him out, but… Joe said he really liked to get a new shirt. THAT. IS. NOT. THE. TRUTH. Actually, he might have liked to look at new shirts, because he had SEVERAL hanging in his closet withContinue reading “New Shirts. New Shoes. New You.”

April 25,2021 I love this picture( I know…I know…I say that every week when I post a pic…but I really mean it this time). You know what makes it especially pretty to me? You can’t see Joe’s feet! 😆 Now, you all know me well enough by now to know that there was not oneContinue reading “Foreheads and Feet”

April 18, 2021 “Why are you doing all that jerking and snatching??” -JMP I am an early riser. Most days, I am up by 4:30 am. By 7:00 am, I have completed a work out, done a load of laundry, unloaded my dishwasher, and spent some quality time with Jesus. Full disclosure–I am “gowned down”Continue reading “A Good Workout”

April 11, 2021 Yesterday, I read Joe’s lesson and wondered how in the world I would find a picture that related to smell. This morning, my Facebook memories delivered with two images I can still smell, along with a reminder of why Joe worried about me in our kitchen! I present to you “A MeltedContinue reading “What’s That Smell??”

April 4, 2021 A picture’s worth a thousand words, right? I am SO THANKFUL to have photos of Joe, but getting those pictures of him was sometimes a chore. More than once I’ve run across a picture I wanted to use in this blog, but could not because Joe’s sneaky self had crossed his eyesContinue reading “The Story of the Cross”

March 28, 2021 Two of my favorite things are in this picture: The boy and the path. “On the path” was our code for home. If I called Joe to see what time he wanted supper, he would respond with something like, “I”ll be on the path by seven.” Or, if he needed me toContinue reading “On the Right Path”

March 21,2021 Every Sunday, Joe either made us almost late or just plain late to church. Cross my heart, I was always ready before him (and the poor fella is not here to deny this statement…which he absolutely would!). I KNEW I would change clothes ten times before I decided on my outfit for church,Continue reading “You’re So Lucky”
