Once, somewhere, on a piece of paper or a greeting card I saw a list of reasons why it is important to do certain things, “Just for today.” As I remember, this list was designed to bring out one’s compassionate, loving and caring side—urging us to do something for ourselves and/or others to make the … Read more
Papa and I had an uneventful trip to the area, but it is a long haul, longer each year. The beach is beautiful, and we saw a dolphin near shore feeding on Wednesday. The bluegrass show put on by Adams and Anderson has been enjoyable for Papa and I. Yesterday, we had an experience … Read more
D3 is off to work, Papa is driving her today. She is plenty old enough to drive herself, but her place of employment is 10 miles in the direction we’re doing after she finished work. It makes sense for us to pick her up on the way. And, she won’t have a car sitting in … Read more
Today is the 23rd, usually a busy day. But we didn’t have a thing to do. We removed our tree and packed Christmas away for another year. We cleaned. We packed our car for the trip to Jekyll on the 26th, and packed our van for our Christmas with grandma up North. We visited some … Read more

Our car needed some repairs, so I took it in yesterday. Papa drives the car for work, and it gets a lot of miles put on it. It took us to Pigeon Forge, and it will also take us to Jekyll Island later this month. We have a long-standing relationship with the car repair man, … Read more
So, we’re home from Tennessee. We had a great time at the Larkin family’s Christmas in the Smokies. We slept in, talked to a bunch of nice people, looked at the great light displays in Pigeon Forge, all the Fudgie stuff. On the way home we noted some changes in the scenery since our last … Read more
