Seriously – is it me, or do all women fight a constant battle with their hair? Mine started very young. I have thick and curly hair. My mom would have to chase me through the house to try to brush it. My first cousin and I have very similar hair. I remember once we were […]

Savannah’s Amazing Grace
August 26th, 2011 
LeeAnn I have written several posts on our part-time paradise in the North Carolina mountains, but have neglected my true home of the past fifteen years – Savannah, Georgia. And there is so much beauty in Savannah. I live on an island on the south side of Savannah and cross a bridge usually four times a day […]

August 23rd, 2011 LeeAnn The blogging world has been both fascinating and overwhelming to me. I hesitated starting a blog for years. I had difficulty overcoming the thought that it was self-centered to assume that people would want to read what I have to say. I am so grateful that I finally overcame my fears and entered into this arena – and a […]
My May-December Romance
August 15th, 2011 LeeAnn Did I get your attention with this title? I promised myself that I would be honest on this blog. So, here goes… If you know me and my husband, my guess is that you know that there is an age difference. How much? My husband will tell you exactly. I am a little more protective […]

August 1st, 2011 LeeAnn Shortly after we bought our house in North Carolina two and half years ago, our next door neighbors invited us over for a drink. Our neighbors live on the mountain full-time, and have for a number of years. They are delightful and we have very much enjoyed getting to know them. I have always remembered that […]
How Did That Happen??
July 25th, 2011 LeeAnn I was a bit of a baby when I was a kid. I didn’t like to get far from my mama and I did not like to leave home. Camp was out of the question. I don’t think anyone would have called me adventuresome or a risk taker. I remember specific incidences of my unwillingness as […]
Dodging Grizzlies
July 21st, 2011 LeeAnn We are vacationing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and spending much of our time hiking in the Grand Teton National Park. The scenery is absolutely stunning. We arrived here about two weeks after a tragic accident where a man was killed by a grizzly bear in Yellowstone Park, which is about an hour from here. There […]
Hiking in Grand Teton National Park
July 20th, 2011 LeeAnn Greetings from Jackson Hole, Wyoming! We are on vacation and hiking in the Grand Tetons. On Monday, we took a five plus hour hike up Fred’s mountain. It was a steady climb up and it was beautiful. The scenery was incredible, with wild flowers and mountain views. At the top (over 10,000 feet elevation) we […]
When Sleep Becomes the Enemy
July 7th, 2011 LeeAnn When I was in college, I used to pride myself on my ability to maintain my balance in situations of stress. While I watched those around me pull “all-nighters”, struggle with eating disorders or otherwise deal with the stress of the college environment in ways that I thought were unhealthy, sleep was a priority for […]
