stone soup

I noticed last night while browsing the web that Stone Soup Station had crossed the 25,000 visitor mark.  I don't track unique visitors to the site, so I know that these aren't all "new" visitors, but I'd like to thank each and every one of you who come here to check out what I've got to say.

Anyone who assists folks here in Nashville with public housing applications knows that getting someone into that housing is often like pulling hen's teeth. Myriad restrictions apply, Section 8 is closed until further notice, and people are often penalized for things that have occurred many years prior in their lifetimes.

When Big Fella and I were young marrieds, we ate bean soup for dinner at least four times a month because it was cheap. Which is why it took me so long to realize I don’t like it. It invariably disappoints. Either it’s watery, or strongly beany tasting, or bland. Or if the mixture includes a lot of meat for flavor, the soup is greasy or salty.

From some very humble beginnings, Stone Soup Station just had it's 10,000th visitor.
