We saw “Precious” at the Esquire Theater—at the matinee—yesterday, and let me tell you…that’s one movie that will stick with me. Forever. If you haven’t seen it, and if you can take it, go. I got so choked up a couple of times that I thought I might actually sob out loud in the theater. [...]

Reasons to Wag the Tail

On our way out of the movie last night we ran into Jana, the brand-new, hasn’t-even-started-her-new-job-yet Associate Pastor of our church. She’d been in town less than 24 hours. She intentionally slipped quietly into town early so she could poke around a couple of weeks before she starts work in October.
Anyway, she had decided to [...]

Over pizza the other night, Mary told me about the upcoming “Julie & Julia” starring Meryl Streep and Amy Something-or-Other. They both played in “Doubt,” too. You know I am in love with Meryl Streep, right? Well, now I’m all happy about August 7th when it’s released. We watched the trailer on my iPhone over [...]
Falling in Love with Irvine, Kentucky

Can’t someone turn off this RAIN? Okay, it’s better than snow, but I want to get outside and do something more than cut the grass between cloudbursts.
We spent last weekend at the farm without running water and without electricity. Pipes had burst in the house, and we knew we’d have no water; but then while [...]
What’s the Point of Gardening, After All?

I’ve been shaping up the gardens these past couple of days. I mean, I have hauled load after load of dead leaves and perennials out to the woods…I pile them all up on that big plastic tarp and use it as a sled. But there are some plants that refuse to cooperate with the clippers…no [...]
Maria, There Isn’t Going to Be a Barronness

We saw Seven Pounds with Norma and Starlee last night…I admit I was really lost and kept asking Norma (on my right) and Deb (on my left) what the heck was going on. I mean, you learn to trust the director and the writers that you’ll have the information you need when you need to [...]
Gag Me

I could hardly sleep. Why?, you ask, dear Reader. Because the title of yesterday’s post drove me stark-raving mad…it followed me like a little gross thing all day long. So I got rid of it. Wiped it out. It is gone. And unless you’re really really good at this stuff, you won’t ever remember it. [...]
No Country for Old Men

We rented two movies this weekend and watched them both…one on Friday night and one last night. “Into the Wild” bored me a little bit on Friday, though who of us doesn’t sometimes dream of leaving everything and everyone and heading out to Alaska to be on our own for a year or two. Ooops. [...]
Honey

The next thing will be a bee hive in my yard and honey from my hive in my pantry. I LOVE honey…love all the flavors and stages and colors and every single thing about it. I eat it every day and can think of nothing cooler than to have my own hive and collect my [...]
