Jones on the Jukebox

Hearing about the passing of George Jones this week caused my mind to rewind back to the 1950's and early 1960's when we lived just north of Antlers, Oklahoma. At Kellond, in a small, white-framed house called a 'teacherage' (think... Continue reading

Y-A-W-N ! What is it about the word Y-A-W-N ? Seeing it. Saying it. Just makes me Y-A-W-N and slow down for a second or three. Love the photos of the precious cousins. As I read your post, I could hear your soothing voice. So helpful. The last few weeks have been like trying to take a sip out of a fire hose. Today, as the workers were ripping out my floor, hammering with what sounded like machine guns, dust flying . . . I loaded the dogs in the van and drove away. Of course, in my exit I forgot my purse but didn't plan to speed or buy anything. Your words resonated in my head and I became mindful of my breathing. (I even uploaded a breathing app on my phone !) Tonight, I'm planning tomorrow in my head, and it includes taking the dogs for a walk and looking at my surroundings as if I was seeing them for the very first time...and heading out in the van again to probably take a nap in it. Thank you for this post. It came at a perfect time. I love you. (P.S. What kind of camera did you get ?)
