Pardon me if this is crass, but yes, this is real. Jason and I drove past it a few weeks ago (on Charlotte Pk. in Nashville) and busted out laughing. We had to go back for a photo.

Splashing in puddles on the patio chairs.
Please pray for us today… it’s an important day. Thanks!

We’ve tried so hard to keep our cocker spaniel Lucy from getting fat but she’s getting a lot of extra snacks these days.


New ice cream haven in the neighborhood: Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. The line has been seriously long all 4 times we’ve gone in the 3 weeks they’ve been open. So far I’ve tried Lemon and Blueberries, Wildberry Lavender, Bourbon Buttered Pecan, Rock Mill Ale with Apricots, and the Milkiest Chocolate in the World. The first is my favorite. Jason loves Salted Caramel and Black Coffee. Mmm…

These shoes represent two things to me: years of hard work done by a good man (my man) and thriftiness to the max. I think our raised-in-the-depression grandparents would be proud. Or embarrassed. After serving well for at least a decade, into the trash bin they go.


Special Edition: This is from Jason’s phone, though I took it. His mom found his and his brother Daniel’s Cabbage Patch Doll piggy banks recently. They were quite excited! I love how one has orange hair and one has yellow hair. It’s hard to tell now that they’re adults, but as little boys Jason’s hair was pretty red and his little brother’s was whitish-blond.


What?! Graeter’s—Cincinnati’s best ice cream—at our neighborhood Kroger? I definitely bought some Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip.
