That’s … Continue reading Six Tips to Avoid Holiday Stress

Seasons: FALL

October 31, 2019October 31, 2019 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

I’m writing about seasons.  I’m writing about ghosts.  This is the first in a series. Indian Summer Saturday blossomed on our farm hilltop. Gold flickered up from the bristling corn stalks. They crackled and shimmered in the breeze. It was a glorious day.  We were  working. The barn was dreary and dusty.  We had to … Continue reading Seasons: FALL

Flea Market

October 24, 2019October 26, 2019 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 4 Comments

OK...I admit it.  Today is my 63rd birthday.                                     This morning I took one look at myself in the mirror and groaned. Truth be told, I was feeling            a little sorry       … Continue reading The Big Three At 63…or…Advice to the 63 Year Old ME

Grateful: An Island Story

August 19, 2019August 20, 2019 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 4 Comments

Three lessons today, God. Hmmm.  OK. I think I got the message. I haven’t exactly been a stellar wife lately.  As I’ve noted before, this Type A gal tends to be high on crabby and low on patience.  God knows I need a lesson in gratitude.  Lesson # 1 I saw John. He was a … Continue reading Grateful: An Island Story
