While mine wasn’t bad enough for any kind of prescription strength anythings, it was maybe the worst constant pain I’ve ever experienced. I pride myself on my pain tolerance (just recently due to … Continue reading »

Photo Blog: vintage polaroid model 450
Last weekend my friend David gave me one of the neatest gifts I’ve ever received– a Polaroid rangefinder camera from the early seventies. It came all folded up inside of a big, black locking box… next to it’s manual, cold clips, flash, flash cubes, extra unopened flash cubes and even an old photograph of two … Continue reading »
Coffee Cake on the up and up

Photo Blog: Mom & Dad come to Memphis
My parents drove 400+ miles just to spend last weekend with me. It was so much fun and I wish they could have stayed longer.

Due to some weird-for-the-time circumstances, June 28, 2003 was not only the day my husband Trip and I met in person, but it also ended up being our >12 hour first date… y’all know the story by now, right? Here’s a little interview … Continue reading »

Some of my favorite pieces of clothing are embroidered and I embroider a lot of stuff myself. I. Love. Embroidery. I even like the word “embroidery”. I’d name my daugther … Continue reading »
