This Street Parking Prohibition We Have

I get that LaVergne doesn’t allow parking on the street so that emergency vehicles can get through to fight fires, help at crime scenes or accidents, to rescue kitties from trees.  They have to be able to access all areas of the city to keep us all safe.  Not only do I “get” it, but [...]

Josh Osborne Law Signed by Governor

Josh Osborne lives in LaVergne with his Aunt Kim Tammy. Before that, he lived in Lebanon, spending most of his time chained to a bed, craving food and water.  When he was rescued, these neglectful parents were only sentenced to a few years in prison because there was no law on the books that made starvation and dehydration [...]

LaVergne Bible Park?

I don’t “get” why everyone in the Murfreesboro and Blackman area was so opposed to the Bible Park.  Noise?  Pshaw.  Jobs?  Heck yes!  Revenue for community.  Heck yes! 
I wish LaVergne could have the Bible Park.  I don’t know where it would go, but maybe we could knock down some of those eyesore warehouses along Sand Hill Road [...]

Report Card Day Ramble

Last day of school in technical terms… kids picking up report cards today.  How bad would it suck if you were a student and looked outside to see rain on your last day of school when all you want is to run outside and hang out with your friends? 
Kroger signs are up!  I just sank [...]

I Hereby Nominate Ivy for Mayor

After Ivy’s thought-provoking, problem-solving comment about education in America, she’d get my vote.
Vote for Ivy!

Oh No. Oh Wow.

I just read Empty Fortune Cookie’s post about a guy working on her neighbor’s lawn who had his fingers accidentally cut off this weekend.  Holy crap… her details remind me of when my brother lost two in a table saw accident (but they were able to retrieve and sew them back on).  But the truly [...]

Floating Some Info Your Way

I just read in the Daily News Journal about how-to avoid getting sick from swimming.  I want to link to the story here because it isn’t something that you think a lot about, but getting sick from a swimming pool is not uncommon.
Several years ago my daughter was invited to a swim party with a [...]

Open Thread Friday

I was up at 6:00 a.m. getting the daughter off to her last day of school.  Then I went back to bed for two hours and it was mahhvelous. 
Heard yesterday the new Kroger signs went up. Someone asked in a comment if we’d heard about a higher ($30) wheel tax coming to Rutherford County.  Here’s [...]

Some Retail & Twitter Tidbits

Our friend Walper commented yesterday about Kroger,
The Southern Family Market…… Signs are gone!!!!!…. The inside has marking of Kroger all over it… Looks bigger too!
I’ve said it before and will babble it again, I’m so pleased Kroger is coming! 
Also just read in the Tennessean that Demos’s just purchased land to build a restaurant off of [...]

Claire Needs Our Prayers

UPDATE: Claire went home yesterday after great improvement!
My daughter’s friend Claire is the 13-year old girl who fell off the hood of a car this weekend and suffered severe head trauma.  She is currently in stable condition at Vanderbilt after being airlifted from her home in Lake Forest Estates.
The kids were goofing around and doing things [...]
