No Place Like Home…in More Ways
Than One
By Beverly Hicks Burch
Why are we so stupid when we’re young? We spend wasted time…days, months even years pursuing the hubris of youth. Time is spent on things that in the grander scheme of life mean absolutely nothing in the long run. We can never, never ever [...]

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 [...]

Heirloom
By Beverly Hicks Burch
Over at Helium.com I wrote an article about collecting cookbooks. Of course, as many of you know Tall & Handsome and I enjoy cooking and collecting cookbooks. We both have our own individual cookbooks, and then ones we have gotten together since we’ve been married.
In the Helium article I mentioned [...]

Bev’s New Year’s Beans
By Beverly Hicks Burch
Every year after Christmas I usually have a ham bone leftover. I like to leave a little meat on the bone so I can make a big ol’ pot of bean soup shortly after New Year’s. My favorite ham to use is one of the spiral-cut hams because [...]

The Last Widows of the Confederacy
By Beverly Hicks Burch
It happened on the Friday before Labor Day 2007. Tall and Handsome and I were driving back to Knoxville from another lovely Southern city. We’d been in this city for about two weeks…well at least Scoot, AKA Watson the Wonder dog and I had been in this [...]

You Don’t Say
By Beverly Hicks Burch
I am a hard sell. I don’t know if it’s the Scotch-Irish in me, or a touch of Cherokee. It could even be the frugal German. Better yet, a throw back to the East Tennessee Mountain roots that run deep through my veins. They were hardy, independent, self-reliant stock. [...]

When Love Hurts
By Beverly Hicks Burch
This last week or so I’ve had a general overall feeling of malaise. Part of the source has been the fact that I’ve had some kind of funky bug and/or allergy. It started when my eyes did that wraith number, then made the transition into a cough that felt [...]

My First Crush
By Beverly Hicks Burch
Most little Southern girls’ first crush is on their daddy. It’s nothing weird or unnatural…it’s actually quite chaste and natural. A good daddy gives us our guidance, is our rock, our example, our protector, our everything…well almost. To me there was God…then there was Daddy. Daddy is like a [...]
