Keep Your Hat ON!

December 2, 2019 by Tracy Gaines

We just spent Thanksgiving without any of the little ones, and it was…um, how do I say… GREAT! We slept in…without guilt. We ate breakfast without sticky syrup for starters. We strolled at our own pace up and down Savannah’s streets without saying, “NO!” “DON’T!” ” STOP!” or “COME!” a  single time. It was nice …

The “Well To Do’s”

October 13, 2019 by Tracy Gaines

I’ve been home from the best girl trip of my life for a week…and I’m just now sobering up! You know when a story begins with, “Once upon a time” you get the strangest sense that “something” is about to go awry for the princess, but you move on raising your expectations and high hopes …

Summer camp…is in the cards!

July 2, 2019 by Tracy Gaines

I miss curling up on my sofa with my throw, close to my fireplace, chowing down on Cape Cod potato chips, and writing a blog. Actually…what I miss are baggy sweaters, my sweat pants, and sunsets at seven. I don’t do hot. Holy Moley…Summer is dragging on forever…especially the hours between my first cup of …

It’s just me and you… EmmyLou!

March 1, 2019 by Tracy Gaines

So how does one “Get A Life”? I know…because I use to have one. I can try to explain … but mostly it’s all a blur. I believe it was Gary’s 69th birthday and we were enjoying quality time with Kelley and the kids when this delusion suddenly transpired… I am talking as quick as …

Pa Rum Pa Pa Pum

December 5, 2018 by Tracy Gaines

It must be with great wonderment to you as to how in the world she has the time to write a blog when she has thousands and thousands of “Almost Famous” cheese wafers to bake. It is an issue yet so are the Holidays. You know I’ve gotta throw out a few thoughts about this meaningful and most …

“These People”!

October 12, 2018 by Tracy Gaines

It seems only logical for me to write a big ol blog today about MelaNoMo! I mean, after all, we just wrapped up our 10th and final fundraiser and I could not be prouder. R U kidding…we raised a boatload of money! That is the power of begging! Proud! Happy! And done! But honestly, I’m not …

AND THEN CAME AUGUST!

August 26, 2018 by Tracy Gaines

I was reluctantly packing up a few mornings ago to return from a month long beach a thon, when my friend and my usual roomie Sue asked me, “Does this mean summer is over?”  As I was rummaging through my belongings, my wearied brain began reflecting… “Yep”, I said…”I think this sweltering summer may be …

“Mired Up”

June 29, 2018 by Tracy Gaines

Prologue We have been traveling with David and Gail Chester for almost half of a century, and it isn’t because we want to…(wink) it’s because Gary and Gail happen to be brother and sister. (more like clones…but later on that) We were married 3 months apart 42 years ago and have been friends ever since. …

Game On!

April 5, 2018 by Tracy Gaines

          I was a terrible “Soccer Mom”. Just ask my kids. It wasn’t uncommon to find me sitting in my car at my son’s baseball games…hey, don’t judge…too cold, but everyone deserves a second chance in life, so…here I go again.  The Grand kids ball games have begun, and I’m wondering….do …

Jolly and Nice!

January 12, 2018 by Tracy Gaines

When I started my blog I had no idea where I was going with it. (Umm… acutely apparent!) All I knew, in the spring of 2015, that it was important to me to share my prolific stories about this craziness we call life from a Mrs., a Mom, and a Gracy’s perspective. It’s difficult to …

Out on a limb…again!

November 7, 2017 by Tracy Gaines

  Footloose and fancy free…well that’s not exactly me! I aspire to be a free spirit and adventurous like my friend Susan. Susan is hiking to the base camp of Mt. Everest (as we speak). We can all concur that this is not the same struggle I encounter when walking up Whiteside Mountain in Highlands, …
