By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate Is there anyone out there that is like me and you have very deep intense conversations with yourself when you are driving? I had one today on my way to work and I actually made myself mad. I was thinking of all the prejudices...
By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate The deep freeze from Christmas has passed most of us by, but I understand parts of the country are still digging out from record breaking snow fall. We only got about 3 or 4 inches and that is enough for me. The cold was...
By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate Well, here we are ready to close out another year. It went by so fast that I had to stop and make sure I wasn’t in a time machine or something. Momma Said, “Make every moment count you never know when it will be...
By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate I absolutely detest rude people and they are becoming more prevalent every day. The worst place is Wal-Mart and the worst ones are the employees. The ones that push those big giant carts around shopping for people that are too lazy to get off...
By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate I don’t understand why people have to be so wicked, shooting up electrical power plants, leaving thousands of people without power or heat and calling in active shooters at schools when it is not happening. The police and first responders are stretched thin enough,...
By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate Thanksgiving was great with my brother and part of his family. We hunted and cleaned the house and made a fantastic dinner. We had roast chicken, gravy, potatoes, vegetables, cranberry sauce and it was all super good. Didn’t have any luck with bagging a...

By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate First and foremost I want to thank all the veterans out there for their service to our great country. They are the reason we live with so much freedom and I cannot thank them enough. I was at the grocery store and met an...
By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate I marvel sometimes at the grit my mom had and the hardships she faced as a new mother. She had my oldest sister and 14 months later she had my second sister. And two years later I came along so that made three children...
By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate Fall has set in and we are having a beautiful Indian Summer. We had temperatures in the low 40’s during the day a couple weeks ago and now it is back in the 70’s, my kind of weather. Just right for outdoor activities, it...
By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate Did you ever think that when you are drinking a drink you are drinking from the top but when you use a straw you are drinking from the bottom? Stupid thoughts when I am driving down the road, do you ever do this? Also,...
By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate Another birthday has come and gone and the only thing any good about this one is I am eligible for Medicare now. Whoopie!! I always figured by the time I became eligible for Social Security and Medicare all the money would be gone and...

By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate Well fall is officially here as of Thursday, Sept. 22 and it is so hard to believe another summer has come and gone. We have had some beautiful days this past week and I for one could stand to see it like that until...
By Teri Cayton The Parsons Advocate Did you know that a hose is just an extension cord for water? Who sits around and thinks of this stuff? It is actually true but I never think of things like that. I don’t know if I am just too practical. I use...
