It’s What’s for Breakfast: Bacon & Eggs, Please

June 22, 2014 by Patti 51 Comments

It’s a rare thing to have the inn to ourselves – very rare – but the other night I took the opportunity to actually sit in the unusually quiet dining room to work on my weekly breakfast menu planning, bacon & eggs and so much more, while Abi watched the world cup soccer game back in our apartment.  It’s true.  I admit it.  I could care less about watching the world cup soccer games.  Am I the only one?

The Story of Matilda & The Battle of Franklin

June 15, 2014 by Patti 35 Comments

As we traveled across the USA this past December and January, there were several places and stories, such as the Battle of Franklin, that really stood out and have stayed with me; sitting on a little brain shelf waiting to be dusted off and told.  Some stories are easy.  Some, not so much because I want to do the characters justice by finding just the right niche…the not so common side of things.

Alfred Jackson, An Enslaved Man

June 8, 2014 by Patti 53 Comments
Alfred Jackson

Imagine living to be 99-years-old and living your entire life in the same place, never going beyond what you know.  This is the story of Alfred – Alfred Jackson – an enslaved man who spent the better part of his life in servitude to President Andrew Jackson.

Thank you! 250 & Counting

June 4, 2014 by Patti 21 Comments

Two-hundred-fifty.  That’s the number of published posts – as of today – I have written.  Yep.  In less than two years live, I’ve written 250 posts.  That’s a lot of thoughts.  No wonder my brain hurts so often.

Joy, Laughter and Yes, A Few Tears

May 29, 2014 by Patti 34 Comments

The alarm nudged me out of a deep sleep at 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning.  Tuesday, May 27, the last day of what was a practically perfect 8-day whirlwind of joy, laughter and yes, a few tears.

The Proverbial Sardine in a Can ~

May 19, 2014 by Patti 28 Comments

At this moment I think I understand the feeling of the proverbial sardine in a can. I am currently somewhere around 30,000 feet trapped in a tin cylinder with about 240 other sardines. The man sitting next to me is probably 6’2” if he’s an inch and although I pity him, practically folded in half in his middle seat, no way am I giving up my aisle seat for anyone.

When Mother’s Day Rolls Around

May 11, 2014 by Patti 31 Comments

Each year when Mother’s Day rolls around I give a little extra thought to my life as a mother; a precious part of my life for which I am boundlessly thankful for the gift of the incredible young man I call my son.  Actually, I call him, my son the attorney, because I love the sound of it and I love the way he rolls his eyes when I say it.  I never get tired of it.  😉

Walk the Line at the Johnny Cash Museum

May 4, 2014 by Patti 36 Comments

When we travel, and when we walk in the paths of those who came before us, I have a tendency to fixate on a singular person of interest.  I want more than the surface story, I want the details, the behind the scenes story. I’ll read everything I can find on the person, i.e. Johnny Cash, until I exhaust the resources.  And, if I’m lucky enough to find videos on YouTube, I’ll watch as many as I possibly can.

Sun Studio, The Birthplace of Rock & Roll

April 27, 2014 by Patti 22 Comments

I had someone correct my grammar once on a blind date, and within the first 10 minutes the date was over. You just don’t correct somebody’s grammar. That’s just not okay. I’m from Tennessee, so I probably say everything wrong. I might have said ‘ain’t,’ or something like that.

Man, that record came out and was real big in Memphis. They started playing it, and it got real big. Don’t know why-the lyrics had no meaning.
