I’ve been tagged by Marie (a good friend of Amanda and one of her bridesmaids) to list 10 things that make me happy. So, here they are in no particular order (well, maybe after the first four): Tommy–he is truly my best friend. Good thing too since we spend so much time together. He very …

Fun & Games
I started out last week by playing Mahjong with my sister-in-law Anne, Linda and Deb. What fun this game is. We usually play 4-5 hours at a time and it’s never quite long enough.Saturday night was the annual Brownell side of the family get together for dinner and Tripoley.I would say that this is my …
I Love High School Football!
Hall’s, Amanda’s and Tommy’s alma mater, the Darlington Tigers, played in the semi-finals of the State football championships last night. So Tommy and I decided to go up for the game. We left home early and went to Schroeder’s for a bite to eat (a must when in Rome). When we walked in we saw …

Day Tripper
We started out this morning for a day trip thinking we would head up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. When we left the house, we could barely see the mountain range. This is a small barn that is directly across the road from us. Unfortunately, the cows I was looking for were not there. I …
