This story by Slim Randles put me in mind of a deer-hunting experience that my husband and I had one Autumn early in our marriage. We were both avid archers at the time, but we only had one bow and one quiver for arrows. I don’t even remember why that was as we both eventually had bows, and […]

These questions were sent to me by a friend via e-mail, and I thought they were very clever. Put me in mind of comedians George Carlin and Steven Wright, who both gave/give us things to think about with their humor.

The other day I put up a little Christmas tree. The last one we had, several years before my husband died, had been attacked by the cats, and ended up out in the sun-room for them to play with for a while. For three years I never decorated. I didn’t have the heart for it, plus
Grab a piece of this Christmas Bunt Cake and help me welcome Slim Randles as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. He is having fun with the guys down at the Mule Barn Truck Stop. Enjoy…. “I can’t stand winter,” said Herb Collins, who had dropped in at the Mule Barn’s philosophy counter for a quick cup.
