Slim Randles is back again as today’s Wednesday’s Guest, and I really like this essay about the state fair. I have always loved to go to fairs – the rides, the livestock barns, the funnel cakes, the cotton candy, and have I mentioned the livestock barns?

First this meme to start us off with a chuckle. I couldn’t resist. My husband was a minister, frequently wore a white dress, and doused many a child. And before we move on to the news, don’t forget to enter the YA Back-to-School Giveaway. The last day to enter is September 12. I am one

First off, I just want to say that it has been a rough couple of weeks for me. First my sister in Houston died and I went there for a funeral. Developed an absessed tooth and came home to get that taken care of. This past week has been one of pain and meds and

This essay by Slim Randles, today’s Wednesday’s Guest, put me in mind of the summer evenings of my childhood when us kids would be playing baseball on the street while the grownups sat on porch swings, enjoying a cool evening after a sweltering day.
