Gramsie and November
November is such a great month. The weather finally decides to be fallish, or hellish rain in our case, but the trees are showing off their colors and the air has become snappy. The clocks turned backwards for an hour, so we come home in pitch dark, but the youngest can now wait at the morning bus stop in the light. Last week he saw a deer across the road because it was neither light nor dark…

On this beautiful morning, I am sitting in front of my electric heater, reflecting on sixty years of life. My birthday was on Wednesday and I really didn’t think much of it except to be thankful that I could get out of the bed and get to work. I did get to my hairdresser in the afternoon to get a new “do.”
When I was a child, sixty was such a long way off, that I never considered the idea of…

ZZZZZZ’s
In my position as the Office Manager of an up and coming Psychiatry and Psychotherapy office I try to make things work smoothly. We work the schedules and send off bills. We offer lots of advice, keep the candy bowl full, and make people feel OK about being there across the window from us. Sometime back I had some great ideas about how to expand our offices.
We started with the Psychmatch.com…

BIG
In my job as an office manager at an up and coming psychiatry office I work constantly with insurance companies. This work is annoying, irritating, and absolutely non-productive.
Here is how most conversations – if you can call them conversations – go.
I look up the number and dial it. It is answered by a robot with horrible music playing in the background.
The first message is all about how the…

Learning Changes
I wrote this in August about the time school started, but did not get it posted until now. The thoughts still apply.
It’s that time of year again when all schools have either started or will start shortly. I well remember the first day I was left at home with my momma while all the other kids got on the bus and went to school. I must have stood by the window for hours waiting on the bus to…

The Least Advice
We will travel to Texas this weekend for our oldest son’s wedding. It is an event we have long waited for and looked forward to. Immediately after High School he served in the United States Marines and put his college off until later. In his classes at University of Houston he met a wonderful young lady who will soon be my new daughter. My wishes are for them to have a good life together and, of…

Monster on Vacation
Last week we went on vacation. We enjoyed the sights and sounds of the coast of North Carolina. We explored the area around Atlantic Beach and Beaufort. It is a less traveled place and we had a blast. We visited the North Carolina Aquarium and I would recommend it for everyone. The exhibits were great, and the bird show was fantastic. I did get to “pet” a ray as he swam past and pick up some…

The Selfish Epidemic
As many of you know, I have a tendency to put my foot in my mouth at times. Not often, but at times. That’s from my point of view of course. Well, here is what happened at graduation when I openly gave my opinion.
Our graduation was held outdoors on the football field. Let me backtrack and say that girls in ridiculously high, high-heels, really need to graduate from a school who uses an inside…

Dangerous Words
I was sitting on the edge of the bed last weekend talking to hubs over in his chair. We were planning and discussing our weekend and the things we wanted to accomplish. His favorite weekend statement is, “I plan to have no plans.” Of course, as a good wife, I believe it is my God given role to disrupt that statement and I was pressing for some feedback on the ideas I had in mind.
Now, if you…

The Cat's Advice
The Cat’s Advice
I often think of different things throughout the day and wonder “Why.” Why are things the way they are and why do we do the things we do? Why is our world complex and confusing and wonderful and scary all at the same time? Why can’t humans get it together? I often ponder the things of life when I am watching my chickens or working in the garden.
Chickens are a funny sort. They start off so…

Surrounded By His Glory
It is Easter weekend and I hope you all have a great time with family and friends. If you have little ones I wish only the best of weather, so the egg hunt can be carefree and fun. Our youngest is entranced by the idea that Easter comes on April Fool’s day this year. I do not know what he is planning but he sure is having fun thinking about it. Last week we took the youngest to see a movie titled…

When I was a child I listened to Paul Harvey. Each radio article began with “Hello Americans.” He would tell fabulous stories, but he would hold back a little bit of information so that his audience could ponder and think about what had already been said and anticipate the last bit of information which completed the story. And then, of course, he would famously say, “And that is the rest of the…

Air Miles and The Binty
As many of you know, when I am not raising the kids or writing articles, I am the office manager for an up and coming Psychiatry office. While there, I pretty much do everything and keep things running on an even keel. If the phone rings, I answer it. If there is a problem with the bank, I deal with it. If one needs an appointment, I search the calendar and get them signed up. If a patient is…

Reality Strikes
Happy March to everyone. It was warm for a day or two and now it is back to cloudy and cool. Well, cold actually, but isn’t that the reality of late February and early March? We get a few days of sun and the trees begin to bud and open. Our peach trees are sprouting a few pink blooms as well as the cherry trees. While I enjoy the blooms immensely, I fear that March will sweep in some cold…

The Church Music Debate and My Funeral
The Church Music Debate and My Funeral
Over the past few years, I have seen many articles written about churches and what churches ought to do to get with it or what churches need to quit doing to get with it. One of the most controversial issues has been about the singing/praise part of church service. I certainly have joined the fray with my facebook comments. I have aggravated some and encouraged others. I definitely have put my…

Advice: In Case You Need It
I had a very young lady in my office last week. She was crying and upset because her car hadn’t started, and she was a few minutes late to her appointment. She was shaking so badly that I didn’t think she would be able to sign the papers. All she could talk about was being a few minutes late and that her car had trouble starting and THEN she had to call to find the office. She was so embarrassed.…

Winter Freeze
I hope everyone survived the winter freeze that seemed to run rampant across the country last week. I saw a film from a swamp in North Carolina that showed alligators, and maybe crocodiles, with their snouts frozen and sticking up out of the water. Several, including myself, have had frozen water pipes and some even went without electricity for a bit. And, of course, there were many jokes about…
