I wrote the following post Tuesday early afternoon before hearing about the shooting at the school in Uvalde. My posts are often written the day before they go live, often to give myself a chance to edit or change entirely. I’m not going to change this one. We do need a moment to focus on […]

Good Monday morning everyone. How was your weekend? Mine was very pleasant and I was thrilled to see my rose bushes starting to burst forth with flowers.

What would I do without my friends who send me fun memes and other humor to share on my blog? Well, I’d be up the proverbial creek when I want fresh content and my mind is fresh out of fresh content. Between the pain in my head from trigeminal neuralgia, and the meds I take

Since I’m plumb out of ideas and time but wanted to have a new blog post up, I thought I’d see what Slim Randles has to offer as a holiday-themed essay, and this is a good one. He’s given us glimpses of Mabel’s life in the retirement home before, always presented in a warm, thoughtful
I’m sharing this meme a friend sent me because when I saw it I thought of the schtick I always did when playing Nona at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts. Nona was always looking for her marbles, going thought the audience asking if anyone had seen them. Okay, I was going to write a
