Last night, Jeanette and I went shopping for "all" of those last minute vacation essentials. After several hours of shopping, a large Donatos pizza, and a cherry Icee, I think we were exhausted and the sugar in the Icee went straight to our heads. How else can you explain two gals taking pictures on the kids rides at the mall? And for the record, this time, the pictures were Jeanette's idea!! I am so ready for this ...

As I was looking through pictures preparing for my Father's Day tribute, I came to an unsettling realization: I have very few pictures of me with my parents, even as a child. I have thousands of pictures of nature, sights around the world, special occasions like birthdays and holidays but very few individual photos of just me and my mom or my dad. How could that be!! So, I made up my mind (family members - please don't ...

In a world where there is seemingly a great lack of true fathers, or even mentoring father figures, I count myself very blessed. So I would like to take a moment to tell you about the "Fathers" in my life.My dad, Clyde Buster Hodge, is a great example in all the roles of life of just what a father, husband, pastor, provider, employee, and now grandfather should be. One of several children growing up in the coal mining ...

FABULOUS!!! Breathtaking!! Inspiring! Heart Touching! From the first harmonious note to the last slide of the fiddle, the ladies of Celtic Woman, their backup singers and musicians gave an awesome performance. Every time I heard the "next song", I said, "This one is my favorite" and then another would begin. I just couldn't get enough!As everyone knows by now, I have a great love for fiddle music and this pixie-like ...

Our office has been working very hard for several weeks preparing for this past weekend's two day auction. Finally, after the long day was finished, we breathed a sigh of relief at another job well done. So what else is there to do...tired, hungry, and more than little giddy, we gathered at El Cazador's for a late supper. El Cazador's is our local Mexican restaurant and one of our most popular eating destinations! ...

There, I've said it! I know that you were probably ready to finish my sentence with the dogs, the teens,the skaters, the tweens, probably anything but the Oppossums! One of the ladies, Sheryl, recently rescued three babies about two weeks ago - Larry, Curly and Moe! However, Larry and Moe have now become Laverne and Shirley (according to internet research). These little gals are a big hit with everyone but their main ...

What could be more relaxing on a lazy Sunday afternoon than to find a nice sunny spot(one not too hot, not too shady)with a good book? What a life!When suddenly to my wondering ears, what should I hear? Was I napping? Was this a dream? But, no, it was the thrumming of hummingbird wings. I was so excited at first that I could not even get the camera to focus (oh, and yes, I realize I am "one" of the "few" who just happen ...

As I was driving home Friday night, I had a view of the most awesome full moon and realized it was time for the Moonbow at Cumberland Falls. We have visited several times trying to see this event with little success. With the full moon and clear skies in the forecast, I thought it was time to try again. I am so glad we did!!With the assistance of some helpful photographers, I was finally able to get some pictures of ...

So I just had to share the antics of my nephews and their dogs with you. Remember, laughter is as good as medicine! Hope you enjoy ...
