MiaGM and Be a Good Neighbor (a Nugget about Ditties)

 

Make it a Great MondayWe woke up to a sweet hand-written note from Fort Herndon, after Sunday’s birthday celebration for Jim. It got me thinking about ditties. You know the original ‘ditty-writer’ in our life was our dear neighbor Ken King in Nashville, husband to your godmother, Ann. Here’s an example of Ken’s work: Farewell to the Singleterrys. Classic stuff!

Anyhoo, I looked up the word ditty and realize that ditties are meant to be short songs. But that’s okay, we can stay with our own meaning – something someone writes and recites to celebrate an occasion or someone special.

Here’s the note from Jim:

 

 

Make it a great Monday!

P.S. Side note: On the other side of Fort Herndon (Unit B) . . . Jim and Marisa Bushee also arrived safely home yesterday from their summer in the Northeast. Jim B. and I hope to take Jim H. to lunch one day and start documenting some of his military stories. Jim Bushee is a writer. You can learn about his first book here.

NUGGETS began in the fall of 2010 when our oldest daughter left for college. (Make it a Great Monday; Stay Whole Tuesday; Woman Power Wednesday; Make Anything Thursday; and Fit as a Fiddle Friday.) All these years later, we have a UGA grad, a SCAD grad, a Fightin’ Texas Aggie grad, and 1500 nuggets. Plus, Mum and Dad up and moved to England. Those are my daughters above, and their guiding light – truly my every gPage Singletary thing.

featured series: Staying in the Game

Dear Harvey: Staying in the Game

In the end, Harvey, you left us your Little Red Book—a lifetime of lessons condensed into something small enough to fit in a pocket, yet broad enough to guide generations. These letters are my attempt, in a much humbler way, to do the same—to gather what the game has taught me so far, and to keep discovering what lies at the edges.
