Country Life – Then and Now

Guest writer:  Beth Littlejohn I thank God that Mother started this blog.  I am finding a grand diversion writing and selecting photos to make the stories more interesting.  I also thank God for the readership who continue even though the namesake is gone. My daddy has dentures.  Nothing strange for someone 89 years young.  During…

Guest writer:  Beth Littlejohn Mother died Sunday afternoon and still Monday morning came.  I was at home when Mother died and asked Donna and Daddy if they thought it would be appropriate if I kept an eye appointment.  “Yes!” was the resounding reply.  Mother was a practical soul!  She would have wanted me to do…

Riding with my Daddy or should I be more specific and say having my Daddy ride with me, is quite an experience.   Today has been a day where I am tele-working to my Kennesaw job and being a friend to daddy.  He is quite the man and his talents are many.   The first act…

One day recently, a dear friend of Mother’s stopped in to visit at the hospital. Celestine or “C” to some is a gardening friend.  To the best of my knowledge they met at the master gardners group in Fort Payne. These two ladies have a love of hydrangeas. When I was a child the only…
