Too Many Chiefs?

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker As I think of my grandma and grandpa, I just wonder what they would think of the world today.

SAVING PENNIES

SPRING AND 200 TOADS

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker  I am always wondering about something. Sometimes I just like to sit and contemplate things. Today I was thinking about mirrors.

Frankly My Dear, I Don’t Give A Grit

Penny For Your Thought By: Nancy Whitaker  Bring on the grits, black-eyed peas, cornbread, ham hocks and beans and fried chicken, chess pie for dessert and you’ve got a meal. Southern cooking has become more popular with the recent cooking show hosts and the idea of good home-style comfort food. I know my grandma was…

Changes; Changing Changed?

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker     Sometimes, I believe  the older we get, the harder it is to accept change. If we stop and think about it, life is full of changes. We come into the world, learn to eat and walk, go to school, attend college, hopefully get a job and…

Oh My Aching Bones

All keyed up!

Penny For Your Thougths By: Nancy Whitaker Keys, keys keys. We have keys for everything. There are keys to get in the house, start our cars, mowers, golf carts and keys to get in the garage.

THE GHOST ON FLOOR 13

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker  When we were young kids, one thing we used to do was sit around at night and tell scary stories. The stories were usually about creepy monsters grabbing children. Of course we all made up stories trying to scare maybe a friend as well as each other to…

Apple of Our Eyes

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker When I think of apples, apple cider, apple pie and apple dumplings come to mind.

Penny For Your Thoughts
