My apologies for not having anything on my blog to commemorate Memorial Day. It’s not like the holiday meant less to me than it has is years past, it’s just that my body decided to rebel with a myriad of issues that made me feel sicker than death on a cracker. Thankfully, my kids came …
Since I was in full recovery mode yesterday from an exhausting weekend, I didn’t even try to put a blog together. It probably wouldn’t have made any sense, anyway, because my brain and my body both were slogging through molasses. 🙂 Today is better, so I’m going to let Slim Randles entertain you. First, I …

As part of the celebration, I’m sponsoring a giveaway, and the first place winner receives a $50 Amazon Gift card and signed copies of the first three books. Details …
It tried to be spring here in my corner of Texas the other day. Temperature got all the way up to 73 degrees and the daffodils decided it was time to poke their pretty little heads up to bask in the sunshine. Windy Wilson is my guest today – brought to you by the humor …
Let’s all take a moment to stop what we are doing and remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr as we commemorate his birthday today. If only his dream of equality and justice for all could come true for people of color everywhere. In years past, I’ve written about Dr. King and his legacy here on …
Something to make us smile before the heavy stuff. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remembering January 6th.
