Two observances, one front our Old Testament and one from our New Testament, that are holy religious holidays practiced around the world.

Back In The Beginning
This week in 1812, Clarke County, Alabama was established by the Mississippi Territory.
November 19, 2011–A Blast From My Television Past
From 1984-1986, Airwolf aired on CBS and was the favorite of many people. Every night it came on, our television was tuned in. Granted, I didn’t get the full benefit of the show as our house had only one television…a black and white, aerial only, knob tuned wooden box on four legs. Trust me when [...]
The Story of My Underwear Life
Everything has a beginning. My love of underwear started much like a maze in a puzzle book. You enter in and through twists and turns, you find yourself lost in the fun. I don’t know how early it started, but it was as a young child. I love remembering back to my first pairs. Do [...]
Happy Birthday To Me!
It’s December 4, 2010. Thirty-three years ago today, I was born in a small town hospital in southwest Alabama. It was the late 70s when people were wearing short dresses, short shorts, and tons of plaid. Dear Lord, all those plaid pants. Where did they come from? And polyester was running rampant.

This audible sound is looked at differently in various cultures. I have always been told that in some cultures, the sound of a burp is kinda like a [...]
Good morning, Farmer Travis!
What we are doing now should prove to anyone that living inside city limits does not mean you cannot have a vegetable garden. The other half found a site a while back that told of a way to grow vegetables in a planter box. I do love a little gardening every now and then. It’s [...]
Music is a journey through life
My taste in music couldn’t be any more vast than it has been most of my life. I will always love rock & pop since it is what I first began listening to. I can remember listening to the stations out of Mobile and Pensacola with my sister and my cousins. Remember the song “Take [...]
His name shall be “BEAR”!
We have officially named the new pup. His name is Bear. It’s kinda symbolic in a way. My grandparents had a dog while I was growing up that my dad and his brother called Bear. It was the same kind of dog except for the blue heeler part. I sometimes wondered why they didn’t call [...]
