Some Of My Favorite things...At Least At The Moment

I thought I would post some of my favorite things right now. It is most random, but I am pretty random...so here goes:

Hot rollers are my friend again. The pregnancy hormones are doing weird things to the hair these days so back to the ole hot roller we go! I love it.

No, this is not me or Randall, nor is it anyone we know. It is a photo I got off the Internet. We do have this pool though....and shamefully, I love it. Not knowing anyone with a pool in this town, nor being the "country club wanna-be up with the jones" type people, was going to make for a long and very white summer. I am still pretty white, but I am working on the tan in my little blue blow up pool. I sure miss the summers at the Takei's and at Ms. Jenny's pool. Ahhh....the memories. Melissa was kind enough to send me a picture of the pool today at Ms. Jenny's and say "wish you were here"....I am hanging tight in my blue blow up though...it ain't no thing!



These are the cookbooks that make meal time great at the L house these days. I know the women in my family will gasp that the red & white check cookbook is not in this picture. I don't just love it so much, sorry. Maybe I will grow fonder of it with time. Anyway, the one on the stand is one of my "fru-fru" books, the laminated one is our family cookbook and the other is Bell's Best that my Great Aunt Julia gave me for a wedding gift and it is honestly my favorite, aside from the family book. I have a cabinet full of cookbooks and these are the ones I go to the most. I wish I was more loyal to all of the books, but I play favorites.


Completed scrapbooks make me happy and these days there are more NOT completed than completed. It is my current goal to finish the ones that need to be finished before summer's end. I just haven't had the drive or motivation for my hobbies or crafts lately. I hope it comes back to me real soon!


Not a pretty picture, but is a fan on a stand ever pretty? No. This fan is getting me through the night though and for that it is attractive to me! I have been so hot and at night I get extra hot. The ceiling fan was not cutting it, so this puppy blows right on me all night long. I love the sound and the breeze and I am sleeping much better because of it.



Summer's harvest. I love this time of year because it means tomatoes, peaches and other great picks. I like sharing and trading fresh produce with co-workers and friends. It makes life seem simple and pure, if only for a brief moment. I am such an old soul, I know.



And at last, my summer sandals. I love these 4 picks. They are my summer staples. I have many sandals, yet these are the 4 I find on my feet each day. I honestly look forward to wearing them. For a few summers I went without caring about shoes but the sandal fetish is back this summer in full force. I think it is because I am trying to accessorize more to cover up this growing body. Whatever it is, these are my top 4 and you will see me in one of them each day, more than likely.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
