I have a major gripe (or several)… what’s yours?

Ants!!!  The lil bastages are invading my space!  I’m going to be purchasing some instant grits to cover the ant hills.  I don’t know why it works to get rid of them, but it does.
Uninvited solicitors are another major nuisance.  If I didn’t call them, why are they bothering me?  I know that my driveway [...]

Open Thread: The Out of Town Version

I’ll be out of town starting tomorrow afternoon for about 8 days so am opening this thread for you to talk about what you want to talk about. There will no moderation unless other admins jump in, so if your comment gets lost in la-la land, I apologize.
My open thread start is to thank the [...]

Housing Finally Picking Up

On a national level, sales of existing homes was up 5.1 percent in February.  Locally we’ve seen a surge in phone calls.
Buyers are finally starting to take advantage of the crazy low prices (I’ve seen some incredible deals in LaVergne hit the MLS in the last two weeks but no longer talk about other [...]

Who’s running around with a U-haul trailer??

Hi TiLaV! Long time no see! Sorry I’ve been absent for so long…you can catch up with what’s been going on with me over at my regular blog here.
What I’m kinda freaked out about today is that while I was scrubbing the baseboards and washing the walls…yes, I’ve lost my mind since being out of [...]

Brainstorming for the City

You know how sometimes a passing suggestion can germinate into a full grown idea?  I’ve continued to consider what LaVergne can do to 1.) Improve its reputation, and 2.) Help itself out of the housing slump.  I’ve had another brainstorm which I wrote about over at Shak & Jill today.   UPDATE: Let me add I’m [...]

A Garden Party

There’s a Friday trend in the online community of posting “Feel Good Friday” videos of songs, music that make you happy.  I just plucked a title of a song that makes me happy instead for this post.
A couple of weeks ago – and I think it was in the post about gang issues escalating – [...]

Did Someone Almost Rob You?

In what I thought was a completely bizarre story, the LaVergne police are looking for two people – victims of a robbery attempt.  After the attempt, they didn’t go to the police but witnesses reported the incident to the police after they pulled up at the ATM and scared the would-be robbers off.
So why wouldn’t [...]

City Now Owns Old Post Office

I think this was a smart move by the city of LaVergne.
The city has bought the old post office from the federal government for $575,000. The codes department and stormwater will set up offices there.   If I may ask, what is stormwater exactly?
Speaking of codes, this may be a good time for someone to drive [...]

Daffodils in Springtime

Because I’m tired of reading about old lady whiskers, let’s change the top post.
I love that we’re seeing daffodils popping up all over the place, but I’m about to gag smelling the bradford pear trees!
I know the weather is supposed to cool off again, but I won’t let it deter me from looking forward to [...]

Girl Whiskers & Bad Hair Day

And I didn’t even mention the LISP that my daughter makes fun of! While working on Saturday, WSMV-tv (Channel 4) reporter Deanna Lambert called me.  She reads our own This is LaVergne!  (Woo-woo!).
Remember our post from last week about the New Economic Stimulus Bill?  Ms. Lambert was doing a story on my favorite part [...]
