Have You Seen It


I know I can write some of the stupidest things but I promise all these stories are true, who could make this crap up. Just read on, you'll understand.

Y'all we hadn't been married long, maybe 9 months, and it was late at night or maybe early morning hours, I really don't know cause I was asleep. Anyway, Sammy wakes me up just a hollerin' said his ARM was gone. Now,you know how it is when you are dead asleep and I sure wasn't use to anyone hollerin' in the middle of the night. Lord I sat straight up in the bed, of course I didn't have a clue even where I was at. So I looked to my right and there he was just a carrying on. I said, WHAT IS IT!!!!! He (a little excited) said, its my arm, its Gone!!!!!! Well.you know me I think its my wifely duty to get up and look for it. Y'all, I tore that room up looking for it. I'm tell ya I got busy, I yank all the covers off the bed, I looked under the pillow , under the bed, even picked up one side of the mattress. NOTHING THERE! this whole time hes just lying there hollerin'. At one point I thought maybe someone had come in our bedroom and gotten his arm and there wasn't Anyone gonna take my new husbands arm. Just as I got that thought out, Sammy said, Oh My Gosh!!!! here it is!!! and I said, where-did- you-find -it. He said, right here beside me.( use your imagination here)  with his left hand he picks up his right arm and holds it straight up in the air. All of a sudden he starts laughing and I reckon' I snapped out of whatever I was in and start laughing too. I was laughing cause he found it and relieved that someone wasn't snooping around in our room. He was laughing cause he realized what had happened. His arm had gone to sleep and fell off  the side of the bed and when it started tingling all he could feel was his shoulder and it felt like a nub.( y'all try it and see) He gave me a big old kiss and thank me for looking. I kissed him back and said, just doing my job.

Dear Lord,
 I'm so glad I can look back and laugh at some of the crazy things we did. Some nights when I look over and he's not there, I just slide right over and have sweet dreams. Thank you for my memories. Amen

One Leg Over the Threshold

Hey, have y'all ever heard of carrying your bride over the threshold when you get married? I doubt couples even do that any more or maybe I just thought that was the finishing touch but apparently Sammy had never heard of this. Now y'all remember I was only 17 1/2 and this was my way of thinking. I thought before you ever set foot in your house or apartment and after the honeymoon your new husband was suppose to carry you in his arms through the doorway. I'll go ahead and apologize for this image!!!!! so we get to our little apartment, we are so excited and we walk straight in and sat on the couch.I remember we sorta looked at each other as if to say... what next. Then it hit me,oh my goodness, he forgot to carry me. This is our conversation: (me) get up. (Sam) why, what is wrong? (me) we gotta go back outside so you can carry though the doorway. (Sam) why, you just walked through it with me? (me) well, I think this is some kind of rule when you first get home. (Sam -

Sometimes You Just Gotta Laugh

I don't mean to brag, and some may beg to differ, but I think our parents did a pretty good job of raising us three, Keith, Lisa and me. And as Daddy and Mama get older, we want the best we can give to them. They are both on the front side of 80 and, as we know with age, we all get to slipping a little. Whether it be our health, our bodies, or our mind as with the case with them. Oh, we're all gonna be there one day.  Time please slow down. Daddy and Mama are very independent, PTL, and they got each other. What one can't remember the other can on good days. Hehe!  But occasionally, they need our help. They don't really like to ask for it. Keith helps out with the handy man stuff and lawn work when Daddy will let him. Lisa helps out in the business department and doctors appointments / medicine and then there's me. Let me just say, it's a good thing none of us are jealous or get our feeling hurt because I was once their cook and out- of -town driver but not so mu

My New Journey

I may not understand but.... by faith, I'm gonna give it my best shot and move forward. After 3 months of me sleeping with house plans and then Lisa (my sister) trying to please me with house plans she has drawn up, I finally have one. Yep, I have a plan. I bought a house. Lol!!!! Finally, the middle of November I had settled on my new dream house. This may seem a little weird to y'all but it was so hard coming from a huge house to a 3 bedroom home. Also, it was hard not having my side kick with me. Although Sammy and I had the same taste in things I missed him making decisions. To this day I still hate doing that. Anyway, Lisa and I met with several contractors and finally settled on the perfect one. He put me on his list and promised to have it built by May or June. So, I was really ready to sit back and wait. Kinda like taking a loooong winter's nap with Mama and Papa Bear. But, guess what? God had another plan.... his plan, the perfect plan. I get a message from a s
