The oldest has narrowed her college search down to three schools. She has finished the paper work for two them, but still has one to go. The major that she has chosen seems to be offered only at this school.  However, she really likes this school.  Here is her third choice. Whichever way the Lord [...]

Tonight preacher daddy and I jumped in the pickup and headed to downtown Atlanta. Someone had generously given p daddy a gift card to a fancy schmancy restaurant. Once inside the restaurant I knew it was country come to town. Probably pulling up to valet parking in the pickup was the first clue. Thank goodness [...]
