I wrote a blog about my husband's tomato growing a few days ago. There is nothing that is more anticipated in the South than home-grown tomatoes. Except perhaps home-grown watermelons! I'm eating cantaloupe right now and I've always been too fastidious to really enjoy watermelon. I love this

I've been telling folks to get this tax credit by buying a house. This blog makes it very real! I hope some of my Searcy Arkansas White County readers may see this. This is an actual check from one of my First Time Buyers who bought a home last month, and immediately filed his 2008 tax re

A bear story made the news in Arkansas. The state newspaper Arkansas Democrat-Gazette carried the cute story of a bear being caught somewhere in the city. They tranquilize the bear, pull a tooth for some reason and tag him and go put him out in the woods somewhere. The editorial section had this

We got "rolled." We haven't been "rolled" since we had young kids at home and their friends thought that was a fun thing to do. The "rolled" greeted me as I went to pick up the morning newspaper. They musta got the houses mixed up because we've just got a new neighbor who shares the mailstand wi

What more can be said? This home inspector delivered two of these trays and sat them on our table at our office. If he brought them to us, he must have taken them to all of the real estate offices. He left his card and I'm putting it on this blog. I've used him and like him. How can you not

Perhaps being married to a blogger makes you fair game. Of course, he didn't ask for it when he married me because he didn't know I'd become a tattler on a blog site. But he's stuck now. What is his latest thing to do? He went to the barber shop and gathered human hair to put around his six fo
