We’ve had pleasant days here in Texas recently, and yesterday I took advantage of the warm weather to undecorate from Christmas and get things packed back in the garage. Normally I wait until after January 6, the day the three wise men visited baby Jesus, but it’s going to get wet and colder here. I […]

First, a comment for those Republican senators who are going to try to block the resultsย of the electoral college vote. That’s a ill-conceived idea. An embarrassment to this country. A total waste of government time. The election is over. Accept that and let’s move on. Please!!! Okay. Just had to get that off my

Okay, two “I-knows” coming at you. First, I know I said I’d be gone for a couple of weeks, but since Slim Randles is here to entertain readers, it’s almost like I’m not here. Right? Second, I know it’s after Christmas Day, so this story’s a little dated, but it’s priceless. Reminds me of when

Well, my family and I got through the Thanksgiving Holiday, each of us celebrating as best we could. There was so much talk on our Zoom gathering, and in texts back and forth, about pumpkin pie and how some of us were suffering from pie depravation that one of my sons came to my house

Yesterday I took my dog for a walk in a nearby park. It was a pretty day, warm and sunny, and we both enjoyed the outing. Of course, I can’t resist taking a picture or two. As we all know, today is the biggest retail day of the year for most retail stores, but it

I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I do hope whatever you have planned for the day brings you joy and peace. Today I’m thankful for technology that will unite some of my family via the Internet. Too bad we can’t squeeze some of the delicious food through our computer connections. ๐ I’m also

When I was a child, we would often go to West Virginia for Thanksgiving. My father would feel the pull to visit his childhood home, and his kinfolk, and my sister and I would go every other year, as dictated in divorce papers. Back then, I didn’t know about divorce papers, or what my mother
