May we always remember our shirts
I don’t enjoy the fussing and fighting of politics, but the pageantry and hoopla never fail to enthrall. The recent inauguration had me texting with friends in a frenzy of messages, approving some elements of the pomp and circumstance, and recoiling in horror at others. As star graduates of our childhood Sunday School classes, we…
Read MoreStill – a little bit of Christmas?
My Christmas decorations are packed away except for this framed 12 Days of Christmas collection. I love it so much that I think I’ll let it linger a little longer. Is there a rule against that?

Hulk Hogan caused quite a stir when he came to the Fairhope Piggly Wiggly today. That’s such a funny sentence, I think I’ll just let it hang there. And tomorrow? (Thursday Nov. 7th) I’ll be at The Pig. Hulk Hogan is a hard act to follow, but I’ll be with lots of others at the…

It’s been a whole week since the release of my new book, We Don’t Push in Fairhope, and I want to thank each one of you who was able to attend the launch party. What a fun night! My grandmother would say, “Come here and let me hug your neck!” If the long signing line…
