Tell Me About….My Hometown
Our bloggers group prompt this month is to write about our hometowns (or home towns, depending on where you live…) I’m delighted to write about my town, as I’m so proud of it! My hometown is Versailles, Kentucky. And no, not like the Palace of Versailles in France – we pronounce it VER-sales. Yup. Before you snicker, I ask you, do you call the French capital PAIR-iss, or pear-EE?!?!? Do you say “Vee-EH-nah”, or “VEEN” like the locals would? My point is – you don’t pronounce places like the people who live there do, either! The “dad joke” here is “Our town was founded in 1792, and the French have…

Tell Me About …Gardens
Our blogging group has picked a topic I’m quite keen on – as a matter of fact, it’s the reason I don’t post as often as I’d like – I’ve got my hands in the dirt! All the photos in the post were taken by me, at my house…. I follow many folks in the UK on Instagram and blogs, and often wonder why here in US, a “garden” most often refers to a vegetable garden. When we refer to our “yard”, we usually mean a patch of lawn bordered by flower beds. The question “do you have a garden this year?” means “are you tilling up a patch for…

Play
The lovely blogger-pals I join with to write this Tell Me About Series have picked the theme of “play” for this month. That initially threw me for a loop, as there’s nothing I do “play” – not golf or tennis, video games, cards or board games. I’m never bored, but instead am reading, writing, cooking, taking photos, or gardening. I’ve never thought about it before, but all the things I now think of “playing” require at least one other person. The pattern may have been set because I grew up mostly as an only child. My brother and sister are 9 and 10 years older than me, so they were…

Is it too late to look back at 2022?
Serious bloggers probably put their “year-end” posts together early in December, but I haven’t posted in the last, um…many months, so we know I don’t fall into that category. Anyway, I’ve been inspired by those who have, so here’s my stab at it. The important stuff Big stuff that happened this year included the youngest and oldest members of the family being healthy and happy. My great-nephew David is the first baby on the farm in 30 years, and is a source of joy to all. My awesome mother-in-law Goodie turned 90, still lives alone in her own house, drives with confidence, and volunteers weekly with Altzheimer’s patients. The massive…
