I love summer, because I feel like it’s ok to be lazy. Maybe this is just more of my twisted thinking, but when school lets out, I suddenly go on holiday in my mind. Life is becomes all about easy meals and soaking up sunshine. It’s right and good to sit by the pool and [...]
Hello old sweater who found new life as a circle scarf and boot socks. I’ll show you how I repurposed my sweater on Wednesday. Hello almost teenage son with his fancy new electronic toy. It’s kind of weird having someone else on the picture snapping end of the camera. I have a feeling many, many [...]
Today I am linking with a Mom2MemphisAndRuby for Thrifty Finds Link Party. Hope over and see lots of other great finds…after you read this post and see mine. My name is Ade Johnson. I was born in Brooklyn, New York on a warm summer’s night in 1920. I am the oldest of four children, three [...]
Once upon a time, I did not think much about The Hunger Games. Then I finally read the books and the story got stuck in my head. Before reading this series, I listened to all the hype and feared they were a repeat of Twilight. No offense Twilight lovers. I did read the first two [...]
You may need a little background before you read this excerpt from my larger work of fiction (still very much in progress).

I didn’t think this was good enough to show you last week and sadly, I haven’t changed one little word in it all week. I haven’t even read over it. So, forgive me for giving you the rough and undone. It’s all I’ve got. Chapter 3 continued from week 8… “One of Mason’s boys gave [...]
Good morning Friday. I’m glad to see you; however, I would prefer your sunny smile to your sad, gray mood. We are wet with your tears. No need to be sad. It’s officially summer, and we need your warmth. Our southern friends are bragging of your goodness, your smiling face, and the warm golden glow [...]
I’m continuing the story, It’s Not My Life, from last week. If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you’ll recognize that I’m weaving truth and fiction very closely. I’m still not sure it’s a great idea, but many of you seemed to enjoy, so here’s page 2. Hope everyone has a [...]
Today I decided to share something different. I once had the idea of weaving truth with fiction and creating a novel about a woman married to a pastor who began secretly blogging her life. I thought it would be a light, funny book; however, I soon discovered it had no plot. Books need plots. Also, [...]
