Death of a friend

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 12 Jul

We just learned that a lifelong friend of ours passed away last night. It was rather sudden, she seemed fine not too long ago. Not sure, but I think it was cancer that she just didn't know about. She was about 83. Vivian was one...

Wonderous blueberries!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 2 Jul

I absolutely adore blueberries. And what could be better than getting them fresh picked this morning from a friend's berry bushes. I had forgotten she had blueberry bushes until she called to see if I wanted some. Dale and I rode...

A very blessed Sunday

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 29 Jun

Our old church (the one that burned three years ago) had a dedication of their new Fellowship hall after church this morning. The service was good and there were lots of visitors, most relatives and/or neighbors. The new...

Definitely not a vacation

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 26 Jun

Dale and I went to Cherokee on Monday to the casino resort there in western NC. The whole trip was pretty close to a nightmare. First of all the car rental company messed up our reservation so we didn't have a good car. Then the...

A quick hello!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 17 Jun

Nathan and Landon, our grandsons are here for the day. They're outside helping Papa with a couple of chores. I wish they could help dig potatoes, but too much rain lately. Dale had a doctor's follow-up appointment yesterday and...

Has this happened to you?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 9 Jun

I was just remembering something from many years ago...although I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday. We were visiting Dale's family in Arkansas and his mother said to me, "You know, you look just like that woman...

Dale's book of sermons

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 7 Jun

Dale finished the book he was writing and we recently received the copies from a publisher. They look so professional, we were very pleased with them. The book is seventeen sermons that Dale has preached over the years. They...

Goodbye Brightspeed, hello Starlink

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 7 Jun

Hopefully, anyway! Brightspeed has been our internet provider for years (only because being in a rural area limits our options.) It has been the bane of my existence. Customer service is nonexistent and if you ever do get a...

A fire in the back yard

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 28 May

During the night, Dale heard a loud sound. Saw that a transformer next to our house had broken and was on fire. The line went from the electric pole to our house, so I'm so thankful it didn't catch our house on fire. Dominion...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 21 May

My friend Ann who lives in Massachusetts has been fighting cancer for a good while now and it has spread to her back and other places. But yesterday her body scan showed that the tumors have shrunk a little! There's no cure, but...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 20 May

Dale and I went to our daughter's house in Charleston SC this weekend to celebrate his 80th birthday. The whole weekend was so special. We ate at a calabash seafood restaurant on the way which was delicious. That night we all sat...

A technical scare

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 14 May

I clicked onto FB yesterday and saw that I had two messages. It wasn't the usual little N to read them, but I clicked on it anyway. Big mistake. I immediately got a screen saying that Windows Defender had locked me out. I tried...

Late happy Mother's day!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 11 May

If your country celebrates today as mother's day, I hope it was a good day for you. My day was good. Robert had to work and we'll see all the kids at our daughter's this next weekend to celebrate Dale's 80th birthday. We went...

What's in your med cabinet?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 10 May

I made the most amazing discovery last week. I have taken Gabapentin for a couple of years since I had breast cancer and a partial lung removed. It worked well for nerve pain. But for a good while now I've been really concerned...

I'm heart broken

On our way to church yesterday, we got a message that my friend Winnie in Scotland has passed away. She had lung cancer that had spread and she died one week after being diagnosed. We were friends since the 7th grade when we met...

Farmer's market

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 3 May

Dale and I went to a local farmer's market this morning. Once a month our small church has a concession stand there to raise money for different families. Just found out we raised almost $3,000! After a sausage dog and sweet tea...

Literary limbo

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 27 Apr

I'm mentioned that my husband Dale has written a book of several of his sermons. What a stressful endeavor! But between the two of us and our son in law who is a college professor, we finally got it ready to send to the printer....

Such a nice Easter

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 21 Apr

Dale and I went to our former church, the one that burned two years ago, for their Easter service yesterday. They rebuilt it, but on a smaller scale, although the inside looks almost identical. It was a nice service and they had...

When kindness means more than manners

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43836) • United States 8 Apr

I don't think I'm named after Queen Victoria, but I love the story of when she showed kindness to a dinner guest. After a formal dinner, a foreign visitor who didn't know that the small bowl of water was to be used to clean one's...
