The first bit of good news is that it has warmed up just a bit and some of the places hit the hardest with winter storms this week are getting a reprieve. It’s a balmy forty degrees here, and I am so glad I did not have to haul buckets of hot water to melt

Daybreak. Coffee. The Big Two

My friend, Slim Randles is back again as Wednesday’s Guest. This essay is a bit different from most of his others that are laced with lots of humor. This one is laced with a bit of homespun philosophy. I like it, and hope you do, too. Since we are not down at the Mule Barn

Monday Morning Musings – Too Much Money?

4 Comments / Maryann Miller, Uncategorized / By mcm0704

A few times I’ve mentioned on my blog my dismay over the widening gap between the very, very rich and the rest of us. Some folks have wondered, by way of a comment, whether I was suffering from a bad case of sour grapes. They have pointed out that this is the way the free

It seems the very cold winter we’ve been having has frazzled the nerves of lots of people across the country. I snagged this quote from Becky Lewellen Povich’s blog and just had to share it. In commiserating with a friend here in Texas about our cold weather, I told her I couldn’t wait for summer,

Monday Morning Musings

Leave a Comment / Maryann Miller, Uncategorized / By mcm0704

Today we honor Martin Luther King, Jr. Some people don’t think any more of the day other than the fact that it is a holiday and a day off work.

The area is more than 30 inches shy of normal rainfall over the last six years, yet nobody has

One Man’s Art is Another Man’s…

Please help me welcome Slim Randles as Wednesday’s Guest this week. I laughed when I read this story from the Mule Barn truck stop.
