The Adventures of Fred and Ethel: May 2010
http://ethelmaepotterweneverforgother.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 14, 2010. Opening The Ashland City Times the following week, I turned immediately with an almost certain dread to the obituaries. There it was, in black and white. Jack Moore had died. But he didn't. I never saw him again. Who was this Jack Moore, that his death has touched me so? For that's what Jack did: he sat on the front porch. He counted cars. And he waved. He waved at every passing vehicle, be it friend, family, or stranger. And we waved back. In a public acknowledgement in the newspap...

The Adventures of Fred and Ethel: July 2012
http://ethelmaepotterweneverforgother.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Mayberry, My Hometown. The following is a post I originally wrote in 2010, but given the passing of Andy Griffith, I felt it worth repeating. My hometown is the greatest place I know,. Where the people I find. Are gentle and kind. And the living easy and slow. These are the opening words to the song Bee Taylor and Clara Edwards. Wrote as a tribute to their hometown, Mayberry, North Carolina. Their hometown, my hometown. There were many people responsible for. The Andy Griffith Show.

The Adventures of Fred and Ethel: So, Whatcha Been Up To?
http://ethelmaepotterweneverforgother.blogspot.com/2013/09/so-whatcha-been-up-to.html
Friday, September 6, 2013. So, Whatcha Been Up To? Free to a good home. This was my Facebook status a mere five days after Fred's retirement began early last year. He was restless, he complained, he wanted something to do. His retirement was my curse to bear, but it soon turned into a blessing. Me and Pete.we got it like that. Since "the bug man" began his regular visits, I have seen only one live spider in the house, and it was doing the death dance. The cash-strapped Post Office offered VERY SMALL INCE...

The Adventures of Fred and Ethel: May 2011
http://ethelmaepotterweneverforgother.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 22, 2011. Is There Anybody Out There? I guess it's the size of this place that makes it so hard to find my friends. I'm not even sure who's here with me - I've really seen very few people so far.not even Reverend Harold Camping, who I kinda thought would be leading the parade. That certainly put me in my place. I was chastised right away for bringing my own laptop. I don't know why it was such a big deal - there was this older couple ahead of me in line with two trunks, five rolling suitc...

And that's his house. It was everything a bird could want.yet Ben was unhappy. He was alone. He was also camera shy. One snowy day he caught the eye of the lovely Molly, and he instantly fell in love. Butbut, I'm not ready for that kind of commitment! Look, I'll refurnish the house just for you! But still she refused.

The Adventures of Fred and Ethel: August 2013
http://ethelmaepotterweneverforgother.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 26, 2013. On Life and Love and Friendship. The screen on my little netbook dims in energy saver mode, a tactful reminder that I've been staring at the blank page too long, staring as if waiting for the proper words to magically appear. But they don't. They won't, for some emotions have no proper words, and there is nothing magical about death. I won't speak more of Maria, for her story is Eddie's to tell. If you haven't already done so, I urge you to read Eddie's tribute. And in the only t...

The Adventures of Fred and Ethel: March 2011
http://ethelmaepotterweneverforgother.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Seriously, y'all, this is a story of experimentation best left to the imagination for any male readers out there. Sorry, guys, but y'all just don't have the stomach for this subject. What am I talking about? Feminine products, that's what. Are all the boys gone now? Good, we can get on with our story. So I went with the obvious solution: maxi pads. But no maxi pads. So off to Dollar General Store I went in my coat thrown over my pajamas. I have no shame. I had no idea what Flex W...

The Adventures of Fred and Ethel: November 2009
http://ethelmaepotterweneverforgother.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 10, 2009. My Invitation Into Society. I have finally made it. Socially speaking, that is. No, I'm ages beyond having a coming-out party. And no, I've not been invited to the Swan Ball. Or asked to join the Belle Meade Country Club. And I'm still waiting for my invitation to the inauguration. It must have been lost in the mail. But I WAS invited to apply for the exclusive Visa Black Card. Now, THAT makes me feel special. Encouraged me to open it. Dear Ethel Mae Potter,. By invitation, yo...
