Speeding Down a Country Road at 70 (sometimes) MPH
By Beverly Hicks Burch
Last week after spending some time with my folks we drove up to Asheville, NC. The portion of the drive between East Tennessee (where I was born) and Asheville is one of my favorite drives in the country.
I had been dozing in the front [...]

Laundry Day, by Beverly Hicks Burch

Laundry Day
By Beverly Hicks Burch

What would we do without our little helpers?! This was just too cute to pass up the opportunity for a “photo session” with my littlest “Momma’s helper”. Yeeaahh… Does this qualify him as a service animal?

Music is provided by Blake Shelton’s Home. Why? Well, T & H is on [...]

Encounters…a Little Further South
By Beverly Hicks Burch

For any new readers, let me refresh the scene a bit. Last year I had a spat of “encounters” with critters…beasties if you will.

There was Mr. Chicken Hung Phooey…or as we fondly called him “Dead Chicken Walking”. He had a companion and together they brought us hours of [...]

So What’s New…and What’s Old
By Beverly Hicks Burch

It came and went…the very last day of the year. For some reason, I have always found New Year’s Eve to be the gloomiest holiday there is. Don’t ask me why. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe it’s the passing of something you will [...]

Take for instance the two [...]

Encounters

I am a suburbanite. I am a child of the burbs. So, what the heck is it with me and critters lately?! Mind you, I’m not talking about your run of the mill, mediocre, pedestrian house pets. Oh, no…

Don’t get me wrong. I dig animals…most of them at least. I wouldn’t [...]

We Had to Coat the Marshmallow with Chocolate
By Beverly Hicks Burch

The day has arrived. We’ve had to coat the marshmallow with chocolate. No, I’m not crazy, and no, this isn’t one of Bev’s cooking blogs, BUT, it is about Tall and Handsome.

The marshmallow in this case is his heart…at least when it comes to [...]

My Little Willie Wonka Wanna Be
By Beverly Hicks Burch

I was busy working on a project on the computer this morning…probably email or something. I was sitting on the bed with my laptop pulled up in my lap. Scooter, aka, “Watson the Miniature Schnauzer Wonderkin” was close by as was “Winfield, the Cat formerly on [...]

There Was Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth, by Beverly Hicks Burch

There Was Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth
By Beverly Hicks Burch

Ok, I have a confession to make. It’s been a lousy week. I have not been well and we have had a cacophony of disasters to knock on our door one right after another. Some I can talk about, some I can’t.

It started like this…well, [...]

A Cup of Coffee…or a Cue for You…
By Beverly Hicks Burch

Well, he’s done it again…my little Scooter…that little 15 pound canine wonder named Watson who lives in this house and on occasion amazes not only me, but, Tall & Handsome…he’s pulled off another “oh wow” moment with hubby. He IS a little a guy, [...]
