I think I've set a record for number of posts in a day, which are now bookended with images (this one is from last night, driving around the ridge cut toward Lookout Mountain shortly before a storm). I was cleaning...
We made it to Flordia. There was a plane ride from Chattanooga to Atlanta, a train ride to baggage claim (instead of concorse T) a teary eyed Momma crying to the ticketing agent that she and the child strapped to...
Well, so much for reflective posts. Instead, how about a few mundane details of my busy week? I've been busy looking for living room curtains--in stores, in catalogs, online. I think I may have found some today that will look...

It is Friday. As in T?IF. And it's Cinco de Mayo. Once a year, we get to reflect on our southern neighbors' unfortunate experiences with imperials. The 1860s version, that is, with France. Oh, right, and today...
Do you have a few friends that you always forward your interesting spam to? If so, I would love to be added to your list. Just forward it on to me, and if I post it I will...
