Curious George and the Horse Show

Posted on 10/27/2014 by ashleekiser

For most parents, that moment is when they hear their child say, “I Love You.”  And I agree; hearing Ian whisper those three words absolutely melts my heart, but there are two words he has recently learned that affirm my … Continue reading →

Ian and I visited one of our favorite places again yesterday: Rock City.  We started the day with an early drive to Chattanooga (with Biscuit in tow; thanks Dottie!), to meet up with Ian’s Nana and Aunt Joy.  Our first … Continue reading →

Posted on 04/21/2014 by ashleekiser

We celebrated Easter week (as opposed to Easter day) this year.  It began Tuesday evening with Tabitha stuffing stickers in plastic eggs as per the preschool’s instructions.  I probably should have finished stuffing the eggs on Wednesday, but alas, I waited … Continue reading →

Posted on 01/17/2014 by ashleekiser

Growing up in East TN, I frequently encountered barns painted with the iconic Rock City sign across their roofs. While the signs were a familiar presence, I never actually visited Rock City as a child.  It wasn’t until my late … Continue reading →

Hello 2014… Hello winter!

Posted on 01/08/2014 by ashleekiser

2014 kind of sneaked in on me.  2013 ended amidst head colds and RSV, which left the Kisers a bit frazzled and stretching ourselves to make it to the holidays.  I can’t believe I haven’t chronicled any goings-on since early … Continue reading →

The Inspired Quadruped Domingo Asno of Tennessee

In a township of Tennessee, the title for which I don’t care to remember, there recently dwelt a chap who always had a walking stick in the barn shed, a skinny thoroughbred, and a mountain cur for treeing. A bucket … Continue reading →

Brinn and I dreamed of the day we could have a dog together.  During my time in college, then in graduate school, we would spend evenings and weekends walking at the park while jealously watching dog owners out with their canine … Continue reading →

Spring Time Happenings

Posted on 04/07/2013 by ashleekiser

Yesterday started entirely too early.  Ian hasn’t yet learned the value in sleeping late on Saturdays, so up we got at 6:00 am while Brinn was out in the woods with some of the boys from the ranch.  Turkey season … Continue reading →

Miss Majestic Star

Posted on 02/18/2013 by ashleekiser

We lost Star today.  The most intelligent, aggravating, bossy, hateful, particular, sweet, cunning, witchy, stealthy, precise, destructive, club footed horse to walk the planet.  It took Star and I 25 years to finally learn to get along.  She demanded subtlety, … Continue reading →
