"GET YOUR BRITCHES ON!"
x
x
I have an Aunt named Josephine. As a child, I was fascinated by her - and still am. Aunt Josephine wore petal-pushers (we now call them "capris") and tennie shoes (we now call those "disposable Walmart sneakers") and she could light up my life, just by showing up. I LOVE something she used to say and I have adopted it as one of my own sayings. She used to come to our house and would want us to go someplace with her. When my Mama would balk, Aunt Josephine would say, "Get your britches on and let's go!" Oh - how I loved to hear that! It meant we were going somewhere because, WHO in the world, could resist that order?
x
Now, years later, when I am trying to get a friend to do something with me and they say some nonsense like, "Oh - I couldn't do that," I simply repeat my Aunt's command: "GET YOUR BRITCHES ON AND LET'S GO!"
x
Works every time.

May Jesus hold you tenderly - today and always.

To Touch...
Human touch is powerful. Oh - to long for it and not be able to have it. Gut-wrenching loneliness....
Don't forget to hug the one you love every day....

WAIT...
-
-
"Wait," I begged.
"Wait just a little while.
There is more I want to say to you. I have some things to show you.
We have more things to do."
But you paid no attention.
You ignored me quietly and then curtly,
with your eyes fixed on something I could not see nor be a part of - yet.
You had something else to do and it could not wait for me.

Hitch-hiking
"Miss Lilly's Place"-
Do you remember when it was common for people to pick up hitchhikers?
-
You could drive down the road anytime and see somebody with their thumb stuck out. My Daddy used to drive a long way to work, so he had lots of opportunities to give folks a ride. People used to tell Daddy he needed to be more careful about picking somebody up off the side of the road. But Daddy would just grin and say, "I'll be alright. I don't stop unless the Lord puts on the brakes."

Just a Thimbleful...
-"Muscadine Vine Swing"
-
It's New Year's Eve.
I have a bottle of wine.
I have a thimble.
I'll have a thimbleful for medicinal purposes. My back hurts.
-
Thimble 1: Ate 10 Jeno's Pizza Rolls (they're SO small!)
-Thimble 2: Made 4 of the cutest little chicken pot pies with some leftover chicken (put in freezer for later).
-
Thimble 3: Facebook friend's post asked "What to do on NYE that doesn't involve drinking?" and I'm thinking of answering - "What a silly question!"
-
Thimble 4: I saw Oprah on tv and thought - "Girl, you are looking HOMELY - you need some work done!"
-
Thimble 5: Seriously considering signing myself up on eHarmony.com
-
Tjshnef 6: Now I know why those old broads on The Andy Griffith Show were always so flippin' happy with their thimbles!
-
NINE: Oh my goodness, it's 8:00pm! I need to get to bed!
-
:)
-
Happy New Year!
-
P.S. Don't forget to find the "funny" in every day! Blessings for a wonderful year!

It's Raining...
"Alone"
_
It's raining. A slow sleepy dripping on the roof that makes me want to go back to bed - but it's 2:30pm and I feel obligated to be productive. My current goal is to paint the livingroom. I moved a bookcase out of the livingroom last night - into the back bedroom. Books are stacked on the floor. One picture is down. One chair askew. The livingroom begs me to paint it, yet I balk. I have been totally unproductive since Christmas. I want to blame it on the long road trip I took, but I know I can't. Something holds me back. I have always despised laziness but it has occurred to me that maybe I am just being lazy.
_
We'll see about that. I'll let you know how the paint job comes out...
_
Blessings for a happy day!
Joanne
