Cornbread and Cool Points 10/12/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I’m in the midst of doing something rather unique, and every time I mention it, I end up having to give the backstory. There’s always a long tale of how things came to be, and I can never quite tell if people are genuinely intrigued or if they secretly find theContinue reading “Cornbread and Cool Points 10/12/2025”

Just a Game, But More 12/1/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I didn’t expect it to have the impact on me that it did. Yes, I knew it was a big deal. It has been a big deal for the better part of my life, but I just wasn’t ready for how deeply and emotionally powerful it would hit me at theContinue reading “Just a Game, But More 12/1/2024”

Small, But Mighty 11/24/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt As I sit here, it looks like it is snowing.  Now it most certainly is not since in my neck of the woods we are not often blessed with such pleasantries.  And I do realize that snow is not necessarily pleasant in the opinions of all my readers however if youContinue reading “Small, But Mighty 11/24/2024”

Just a Thought… 9/1/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I think this week I shall be brief. I have said that before and it tends to be an almost foolproof guarantee that this will prove ridiculously lengthy. I assure you that I am not making this statement in any attempt to employ reverse psychology to be able to produce quantity. Continue reading “Just a Thought… 9/1/2024”

Everything All at Once 8/25/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I cannot promise you a great deal of quality or quantity in today’s blog. It is a time of year that is full of, well, quite frankly it feels like it is the time of year that absolutely everything is happening all at once.  I even have a bit of extraordinaryContinue reading “Everything All at Once 8/25/2024”

Things ‘Round Here 7/28/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt In perusing social media recently, I stumbled upon a refreshing little anecdote amongst the rubble that is current American society. It was one of those lists describing the qualities of a certain area and how if one is familiar with all the traits on the list then they can be certainContinue reading “Things ‘Round Here 7/28/2024”

You Just Never Know 1/14/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It has been one of those weeks.  And I do realize how vague that statement is but with the vast spectrum of out of the ordinary that has gone on this week, it will be somewhat difficult to nail down anything more specific than that.  I will say this, the goings onContinue reading “You Just Never Know 1/14/2024”

My Own Concoction 1/7/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I have mentioned before about both myself and my family being weird.  I feel like perhaps I should explain this a bit more as that is a very broadly stroked painting which I have applied to myself and those that I love.  I realize that there are vast number of definitions thatContinue reading “My Own Concoction 1/7/2024”

The Legacy Continues 12/10/2023

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt They were calling it The Great War.  I am not sure how it got this moniker. I am not quite close enough to the action to have heard the backstory though acquiring such information is still a goal. On the day I began writing this, every mind in my small townContinue reading “The Legacy Continues 12/10/2023”

Very Traditionally Speaking 11/26/2023

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I will go ahead and confess to you now that I am writing this a week early.  So, I am typing here the week before the week of Thanksgiving because, well, quite frankly, my week of Thanksgiving is going to be very, very busy.  I don’t really foresee me having anyContinue reading “Very Traditionally Speaking 11/26/2023”

A Somewhat Civil War

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt We’ve made it to the “ber” months.  I have to admit that this is my absolute favorite time of year. Almost all the things I love are in these months. We have fall, which, don’t worry, I’m not going to tax you with another love letter for autumn. Don’t tempt meContinue reading “A Somewhat Civil War”

A Small Town Thursday Night 8/27/2023

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt There is just something about the start of high school football in a small southern town. This is a time of year that is full of reminiscence for me.  I suppose this is mostly caused by the fact that the school that my daughter attends is the same one I attendedContinue reading “A Small Town Thursday Night 8/27/2023”

Passion and Potluck 10/25/2020

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It was two different plants that are apparently in the same family that got me thinking about today’s topic.  First off, the massive showy blossoms of a confederate rose caught my eye as they cannot help but do.  When you see a giant ball of white ruffled petals first thing inContinue reading “Passion and Potluck 10/25/2020”
