Carol Perkins: When you frankly just want to slap somebody She had so much malaise and maladies, she didn't feel like herself anymore, she told her Bowling Green doctor, telling him, 'Frankly, I just want to slap somebody.' But a trip to her herbalist with sidekick Carol, and a 'feet in the tub' detox and the world became more right again. The next previous column: Carol Perkins: Mama Don't Cook No More Posted April 28, 2014. By Carol Perkins Every six months I have a routine check up for my high cholesterol. I fully understand the need to do this, but I am a total wreck when the nurse approaches me with a needle and starts slapping my arm to bring the veins to the top so she can poke them. I have been known to swoon and need a quick smell of something under my nose to keep me from hitting the floor. Knowing my weakness, I warn the nurse she may have to use a child's needle. Only once has a nurse resorted to drawing blood from my toe. That won't happen again.

Geniece Marcum - My Mother's Garden A family favorite Mother's Day Story, last reposted on 2010-03-22 17:29:18 Click on headline for story with photo By Geniece Leftwich Marcum My mother's garden lay on the southerly side of our old house between the edge of the yard and a dense woodland which belonged to an unsociable uncle. I found little of interest in this garden in spring with its neat orderly rows Poppa and his trusty mule had laid off. Nor in early summer when the labor of Mama and my older siblings resulted in flourishing stick beans, hearty red tomatoes, sweet corn, and green onions. Ah, but when fall came, when the last of the vegetables were about all gathered from this plot of ground, this was my favorite time. Morning glory vines that had escaped the hoe ran riot among the rows and blossoms in every color would come laughing to greet me and turn that corner of my world into a rainbow.

There is one Mother who is amazing and that is Mother Nature. When we used to raise horses it was always interesting to watch the mares. They knew when the time to foal had come and would try to find somewhere quiet to give birth. I've seen mares lay down on one side only to get up and then lay on the other side. It's as if they're putting the foal in a better position.
