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 [...]

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 [...]

These were taken last year, but since it’s been a little dry and colors are a little late and seem a tad dull this year, I thought everyone might like to be reminded of just how brilliant an East Tennessee autumn can really be. Enjoy! Bev

Encounters
By Beverly Hicks Burch
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 [...]

Ouch
By Beverly Hicks Burch
Tag sale…yard sale…car boot sale…garage sale…rummage sale…what ever you may want to call it, Tall & Handsome and I have just survived our first one together. We held it at the end of a rather hectic week of getting ready for this move. Yes, “the” move.
It seems like this move has [...]

Chicken Hung Phooey
By Beverly Hicks Burch
It’s been a rough couple of years. It all started a couple of years ago when Tall & Handsome was transferred. We were transferred “back where I come from” to paraphrase the Kenny Chesney song. Yep, it was even East Tennessee. I was really glad to have the chance [...]

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. [...]

Relay for Life
By Beverly Hicks Burch
It happened the first time when I was 28 years old and the mother of an eighteen month old tyke. I was told the absolutely impossible and unthinkable. I had a tumor on my right lung. How could that be? I had never smoked, wasn’t raised around smokers, therefore [...]

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 [...]
