I grew up in a really small town. If you became sick, you went to the Doctor’s Building and saw either Dr. Hicks or Dr. Lumsden. My brother and I always saw Dr. Hicks.
Dr. L.G. Hicks was a General Practitioner and cared for patients of all ages. Also, Dr. Hicks [...]
I would like to report a robbery!
Someone stole my éclair.
It was last seen in a bakery box sitting in Mama’s refrigerator.
It is light brown with a chocolate icing.
Here’s a picture of it:
Seriously, I had an éclair stolen from me. It was a case of theft by taking.
My client, Jane, brought me an individually boxed [...]
Do you remember my baby brother?
This guy:
Remember?
My brother? The Prince of Darkness or P.O.D. for short?
JOHN?
The Crown Prince of Alabama (long story)?
Big guy? Tall? Black hair and black eyes? (Seriously, his eyes are the darkest brown you’ve ever seen. They look black.) JOHN? Prince of Darkness? Crown Prince of Alabama? [...]
Tomorrow is P.O.D.’s birthday.
He will be OLD.
Like.
ANCIENT.
Dude.
More on P.O.D., the birthday boy, tomorrow.
See that smile on my face? Know what it is saying? It’s saying: Be afraid Brother Mine, Be VERY afraid.
My mama was very close to her mama. Mama called her mother, Mother Fig. Mother Fig is short for Mother Figure.
Aunt Bobbie (Mama’s older sister) took care of my mother when she was a baby and small child. Aunt Bobbie would teasingly tell Mama, “I’m your real mother, she’s just your [...]
Mama had friends over last night. She served The Pioneer Woman’s Best Chocolate Sheet Cake. Ever! It was a HIT! This is what she wore:
Note the spider web stockings:
Also, I love the choker:
Remember that cute fabric I told you I had? The red fabric with skulls? Yep. It’s now [...]
For Father’s Day this year, I invited the family over to Mama’s house to celebrate. (Daddy won’t drive all the way to my house.) Although the event was held at Mama’s, my sister in law and I prepared the feast!
I made Daddy’s favorite meat, pork. I used The Pioneer Woman’s Spicy Shredded [...]
I think my mama is beautiful.
Here she is at an art exhibit. The large painting of the barn scene is her work as is the chicken tower behind her. The art exhibit was titled BARN AGAIN. (It was the second Barn themed show at that gallery. The title tickles me.)
Mama wears a lot [...]
My Aunt Bobbie and I were really close. She taught me a lot of things about life. She also taught me to make icebox pickles. It’s not THE most important thing she taught me (she taught me about men, money and men and money) but it is one of the top 10.
Aunt [...]
Yesterday my family celebrated my birthday. We met at a local park and picnicked. After over-indulging on fried chicken and potato salad, we went for a walk.
This park has insane hills. I thought I might just lay down and die after scaling one of them…twice! It was at the top of [...]
