Greetings from the money pit! When it rains, it pours, and July certainly has been “one of those months” so far. It Bees That Way Sometimes The first of our woes started with bees. Every single summer we have lived in this house, except one year, we have had a problem with bees wanting to…
A couple of weeks ago, I got to meander around downtown Ruleville, Mississippi, while waiting on my mama to finish up at a doctor’s appointment. Ruleville is a very small town located in the next county over from where I live. I passed through there daily when I worked at my last school, and I…
Happy Belated 4th of July! I meant to put up a post yesterday, but the day got away from me so quickly. Not that we did anything earth-shattering. Haha! It was just another typical day around here but with the sounds of fireworks. Raising the Flag I had errands to run yesterday, and one was…

This week, Hubby and The Teen have been after-school blues travelers! We live in the Mississippi Delta, the birthplace of the Blues. People from all over the world travel to our little part of the state to visit Blues landmarks and take in some of the amazing Southern soul food and live music. Living surrounded…
