It’s that time of year again, when I remember my mother’s advice.
Hurricane Dorian is history and now we’re on to preparing for the next storm.
Recently I made a vow to myself that I would stop telling people how old I am. I had two reasons for doing this— first, I no longer get the reaction of “You don’t look a day over 50,” and second, I feel like I might be using this age thing in order to be coddled and cosseted, and a strong fe…
With several females making plans for a family wedding, my daughter explained the mystery of the “gut sucker.”
Nobody seems to know who wrote this, and even though we both agree it’s kind of sad, I thank Rick for passing it along.
As I write this week’s Church Talk, Hurricane Dorian is monopolizing the news. The storm is churning across the Caribbean toward the United States and the “cone of uncertainty” has everyone from Florida to North Carolina (and maybe even farther north) concerned.
It’s confession time. When I’m in the car, and I’m out and about often during the week, I almost always listen to the radio.
School starts this week! Wow! It seems only a few days ago we were celebrating the end of the school year and graduation. Time really does fly as one gets older!
For an 83-year-old lady, I’ve been having a strange urge — I want to get my ears pierced again.
Having served in children and youth ministries for more than 50 years, summer camps and Bible schools are among my most favorite church activities.
The tree was as much a part of our house as the front door.
Horry County students start 2019-2020 school year on Monday Aug.19. We wish everyone a great year.
All of the workout classes have been a huge hit in the neighborhood. The activity committee has added more, and changed some times. These new classes and times started last Monday, Aug. 12.
I hope everyone enjoyed our second annual National Night Out block party this past week. Over 100 residents and their families, along with 20 police officers and firemen, attended the party.
Years ago the Gaithers sang a song entitled “Redemption Draweth Nigh”…
I took a four-day trip back to my beloved Smoky Mountains this past weekend.
I thank Rose Marie for what she calls A Few Musings that she received from her cousin and passed along to us:

In the last few months, a change has been taking place in my life — a change so slow I have scarcely noticed it.
A Day of Hope is about planting seeds and praying for deep roots.
The activity committee hosted another Friday Night at The Farm, and more than 70 residents attended.

It has been a hot week in Carolina Forest, and I’m enjoying our pool in the afternoons. I’ve had a busy week with the Friends of the Library bag of books sale, so I enjoyed the time I had reading a good book.
My new favorite Facebook group, Curly Silvers, is pretty exclusive.
In the last few months, a change has been taking place in my life — a change so slow I have scarcely noticed it.
A combination of random thoughts from my email pals MaryLou and Rick are responsible for these offerings:
Someone I know was given the Wonder Bible. This battery-operated device reads God’s word to you; or at least it’s supposed to. This one however had a problem; something in the battery charging portion didn’t work so the device did not read to you. That Bible don’t work no more.
Summertime here in Berkshire brings out the best of the best. Some of the children in our community decided to have a lemonade stand on July 8. Olivia Latham, who has always wanted a lemonade stand, asked a friend to build her a lemonade stand as a birthday present.
As I write my column, we are having another afternoon shower. I’m thinking about all of those people in the track of tropical storm, Barry, who has his heart set on flooding out some homes and lands in Louisiana. I will keep them in my prayers and be glad that we are just getting an afternoo…
One of the things I hate to do is to miss a column. After 10 years, I have only missed about five times. Last week was one of those times.
Someone I know was given the “Wonder Bible” (As Seen On TV). This battery-operated device reads God’s Word to you; or at least it’s supposed to. This one however had a problem; something in the battery-charging portion didn’t work, so try as you might, the device did not read to you. That Bi…
Be safe during thunderstorms by not using running water or anything connected to electrical outlets.
Summer is in full swing, and my garden is producing all kinds of vegetables and fruit. When we got home from California, we had piles of radishes, cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, cantaloupes, musk melons, green beans and yellow squash. I made some pickles and gave lots away to the neighbors.…
Well, June is gone and here comes July.
Something akin to road rage was creeping up on me as the driver in front of me slowed down and sped up, depending on how close I got to his vehicle.
I made a mistake.
July 4 marks the 243rd anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, one of the greatest documents ever written by man. Fifty-six patriots signed that document, pledging their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.
If they can unplanetize Pluto, they can certainly create new definitions for words.
During the 13 years since I began writing a column, several times I have mentioned the fact that expressing myself in this way is very good therapy.
Hope everyone enjoyed a happy Independence Day.
It has been a busy two weeks for me, as Norm and I have been in Long Beach, California, visiting our daughter and son and their families.
Last weekend the Myrtle Beach Bowl invited The Farm residents for two hours of free bowling and free shoes. Christina Stanley put together a group, and 11 lanes were designated for The Farm.
Each evening was a pure misery to the man.
Thursday July 4 marks the 243rd anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, one of the greatest documents ever written by man.
