Slim Randles is making a visit to the blog today with a nice story about hunting. My interest in hunting tends to follow that of Jasper in this story. It’s not that I have anything against hunting, and have even done some in my past, but that was more for the pleasure of being outdoors […]
Every day I fill a small black pan with water for the birds. It sits in my front flowerbed, and I see cardinals and finches that often come and take a drink, but have never been able to get a picture. Either I don’t have my phone with me, or by the time I open

First up, I want to say what a wonderful time I had speaking to folks at the Holly Book Club at Holly Lake Ranch last Friday. A nice group of people make that club so welcoming and appreciative of the authors who come to share writing experiences. While in East Texas, I had to stop

First off I want to wish all my friends in the U.S. a happy and safe holiday weekend. I hope whatever plans you have include good times with family and friends. As most of you loyal readers know, today is my birthday. However, I’ll be celebrating rather low-key as a nasty summer cold was one

As always, I’m happy to have Slim Randles as my Wednesday’s Guest. He never fails to entertain us with a yarn or two about the guys at the Mule Barn Truck Stop. He shares these columns free with us here, as well as readers of several hundred newspapers around our fair nation. So, if you

When I saw this meme a friend sent me this morning, I cracked up. Seeing the garage packed like that reminded me of the garage my father had when I was a kid. The garage had been built as a three car garage, with one third of the space dedicated to woodworking tools and equipment.
