You should see how gray my hair is nowadays…..yesterday I was getting into my car outside the butcher’s shop, clutching a bag of hot links like they were my new lover, when one of my neighbours from a year ago spotted me. I really don’t like her...

My husband and I have been busy planting in our yard, this is our first year at the house, so it has been an education. I take care of the flowers, he takes care of the veggies, and we are a little competitive about whose garden is doing the best. However, both our...

Darlene is my friend. We have worked together for the past ten years. Darlene is the typical Southern girl in my eyes. She has a drawl that gets about three inches longer with every margarita she drinks. She is sassy, and she can talk to a brick wall and make it feel...
