This time of the year can be really hard, and for some of us, Christmas is what we get through. That’s where I was last week. Counting the days until it was over. There was no magic, no little kids around for me to watch as they enjoy the season. Then I went to our Singing Christmas Tree, and the …

And the November Super Sleuth Winner is…
We’ll get to last week’s Mystery Question and winner in a bit, but I thought since December begins this week, I’d do something different in the way of prizes. Like give away books from some of my favorite authors. **Disclaimer** These books are from my personal library so they aren’t brand-spankin’n new…but they still look and smell new. 🙂 Just leave a comment …
Happy Thanksgiving!
Since this is Thanksgiving week, I thought I’d ask my readers to share something they are thankful for that isn’t your normal thing to be thankful for.

When It Doesn’t Pay to Carjack
Can you believe it’s only two weeks until Thanksgiving and then Christmas?? I’m already seeing Christmas decorations in the stores and a couple of my friends have their trees up already. Once I would have fussed about Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving, but when I saw how much my friends enjoy their trees, I realized it doesn’t make any difference when Christmas …

And after you read it, would you please take the survey? Melanie’s Escapade: Anybody want to hear my newest post office saga? It’s not terrible, but here it …
Are Crooks This Dumb?
I don’t know how it is in your neighborhood, but it’s beautiful right now in North Mississippi! I love Autumn–there is a golden haze to the days. The trees are turning and it’s cool in the morning and rather warm in the afternoons. Perfect for driving to the lake! But, now on to last week’s Mystery Question! A bank robber’s carefully …
The Bank Robber Did What?
The past two weeks have been like a roller coaster. Two weeks ago, my nephew became critically ill and was sent to Barnes Jewish Hospital where he crashed not long after arriving. If he’d been anywhere else, he most likely wouldn’t be here now. I spent 8 days with his mom (my sister) and his dad in his ICU room. …
She Put a Pound of Meth Where?
Well Happy Thanksgiving yesterday to my Canadian friends and Happy Columbus Day to those living in the US! The winner for this week’s Amazon $5 gift card is: Sharon!

Thanks so much everyone for visiting and wishing me well on my journey to discover what sent me to the hospital. Tomorrow the monitor comes off and next week I’ll find out what it says. 🙂 The winner of the $5 Amazon gift card is Jennifer Tipton! And now for last week’s Mystery Question answer! The police made a sweep …
