Driving in these parts is always an adventure. I set out to visit my grandparents in Kentucky last week and ran into this monstrosity on I-65. Oh, ya know, just a HOUSE headed north. I took a bit … Continue reading

The Garden: Progress Report #8
I went to up to Kentucky to visit the grandparents this week. And I FINALLY had a mess of beans to pick out of the garden! I headed over to Granny and Papa’s from Grandmother’s Thursday morning, and not long … Continue reading
Peach Jam
I made and canned peach jam last week. My kitchen is still recovering from the mess I made. I’m finding little globs of stickiness everywhere. I got the peaches at the Nashville Farmer’s Market downtown. I have to say … Continue reading
Hooligans
My cats are such peculiar little furballs. In case there is any doubt, I have evidence to support this claim. Mr. Gus thoroughly enjoys an evening under my clothes drying rack. He prefers the clothes to be damp. If they … Continue reading
Kitty in the Window
I decided to organize my photos the other day, a task I’ve been moving to the next week on my outlook calendar each week for a few months now. I’m a fairly organized person, but I have terrible procrastination tendencies. … Continue reading
Electrifying
A storm rolled in the other evening after a fairly uneventful few days on the weather front. The wind picked up quite a bit and the lightning was nearly constant. I ran to brush my teeth before the storm got … Continue reading
Let Go and Remember
I have days where I get myself all wound up in a knot about silly things that don’t really matter, but I let them bother me. Sometimes I blog about these things and other times I don’t because they’re not even worth the energy to write about. And then, just when I am about to go bonkers over the stupidest thing, someone writes a comment on my blog that cuts to my core and makes me realize that some things aren’t worth stressing over, because in the grand scheme of things, they just don’t matter.
I have written several posts about my sister leaving for Paris for a semester. I am very excited for her, and yet I will miss having her just a car-ride away. A fellow blogger commented on my most recent post about my sister leaving, saying that it brought tears to her eyes over her sister that she lost not so long ago. She thanked me for sharing my story.
Reading that brought tears to my eyes and reminded me how important it is to focus on the things that really matter, like the ones you love and the memories you have shared. Thank you to my blogging friends for reminding me how much there is to celebrate.
Love y’all,
Sugarlump
Stormy Drive Home
Clearly I’m having a hard time accepting the fact that my sister is leaving the country for 4 months as this is my third post on the subject. This post is more focused on neat skies and my random thoughts. … Continue reading
I Take it Back
Since I have made such a big deal about the skies, clouds, and storms in the South during my first few months as a Nashvillian, my former hometown of Boston decided to teach me a lesson. While I was back … Continue reading
Butterscotch Brownies
As a devout chocoholic, I am very skeptical of desserts without chocolate. Recently, Grandmother has made me question my chocolate beliefs by introducing me to “butterscotch brownies.” These things are so decadent and satisfying and buttery and fudge-y and delicious … Continue reading
