Chapter Eight of Sierra’s Story — With a humorous confession from Shellie
I hope y'all are enjoying Sierra's Story. For newcomers to this podcast, I'm dropping one chapter a week this summer as a gift to my readers and podcast listeners! We'll go back to regular programming in the Fall. For now, I do hope you'll find the earlier chapters, catch up, and walk with us the rest of the way. In Chapter Eight we hear Charles
Birthing Woes, Canine Terrorists, and a Potluck Podcast
Hey y'all, have a seat, and let's chat… I hope your summer has gotten off to a great start. It hasn’t taken long for things to heat up here in the northeast corner of Louisiana. Ironically, yet true to the life of the farmer, we were super late getting our crops planted because of all the rain—and now, we’re laying poly pipe and watering. So are
How not to bring the house down
Hello folks, let's chat…Although I gather some interesting anecdotes on my travels around the country, rarely do I hear any that are more intriguing than those that come out of my visits to the Lone Star state. Those TX girls are reliably entertaining. Take the story of a cowgirl named Tootsie. That’s not her real name, mind you, ‘cause I promised not to use it, but
Life is Grand
Hey folks! Today’s southern chuckle comes to us compliments of my friend John at the Good Clean Funnies List, that’s . Do yourself a favor and check it out. You can subscribe and get a nice clean free joke delivered to your email box every single morning. Oh, and did I mention it would be clean? Yeah, that’s my favorite part. By the way, if you
Too Much Culture for Mr. Clyde
I was surprised to see Mrs. Cecelia uptown this morning. I thought she and her man were still out of town. I told her so once we had exchanged howdies. Mrs. Cecelia said they pulled into town late yesterday evening. Mrs. Cecilia retired from the public school system in May. A couple weeks later she and her husband, Mr. Clyde, took off in their new travel
Meaningful Conversation Can Be Tricky
One day an old man walked into the small town lawyer’s office and announced to the receptionist that he was there to get a divorce. After a short wait, he was escorted to the lawyer’s office where he repeated his mission. “I want to get one of them divorces.” “I see,” the lawyer said. “I’m sorry it’s come to that for you, but I believe I
Mama Takes Care of Her Man
My parents love story is into its fifth decade. Their relationship is strong and enduring and pricelessly idiosyncratic. I’ve told so many stories about those two here at All Things Southern that my readers and listeners have fallen for their love story, too! Occasionally I try to rest them from the spotlight but it never lasts. If I go too long without a Charlotte and
Terminal Trouble
It’s been years since I first rode one of those super fast terminals in the Atlanta airport but I still remember the instant education I got on translating the disembodied voice blaring from the speaker. When the nice lady suggests that you hold on because the train is leaving the station and it will reach a high rate of speed, she is actually saying, “You
Down by the River
As I’ve mentioned on the porch, I am the granddaughter of a Southern Baptist preacher, and I’m from the south, AKA, the Bible Belt. I like to say I was in church nine months before I was born and ever since. My point? You might think I would’ve witnessed a river baptism or two. I haven’t. I’ve heard about some good ones, though. My Papaw
Give Me Your Money and Mine, Too!
John Price started The Good Clean Funnies List in December of 1996. He sends out good clean jokes and stories once a day. Granted, the word clean can mean different things to different people. John defines “clean” as something appropriate for both sexes, and something family members and friends of all ages can enjoy together with zero foul language or subject matter. John’s byline is
