Slim Randles is back as today’s Wednesday’s Guest, and while his post is about June in New Mexico, his thoughts about the heat of summer ring true no matter where you live in the United States. Well, with the exception of Alaska and Hawaii, where summer is a bit different from here in the continental […]

The good news here in Texas is that the storms and relentless rain have let up. This year the total rainfall for the month of May has exceeded any prior year since records started being kept over 100 years ago. The total rainfall as of Saturday was 16.7 inches and there are some interesting facts

Please help me welcome Kristy Woodson Harvey back as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. She is finishing up her blog tour celebrating the release of Dear Carolina, and this is her final stop with me. I have enjoyed getting to know Kristy, through the book as well as the interview I did a couple of weeks ago.

Even though the past weekend was a holiday, it was a rather quiet two days for me. No company for Easter, and it was cold and wet here in East Texas. I felt bad for all the families that were trying to do the usual Easter traditions like egg hunts and Easter parades. It was

My weekend was busy with a concert on Saturday night at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts. (Yes, that has become my second home. LOL) Sara Hickman played to a sold-out crowd, and her show was great. In addition to telling great stories in music, she also tells great stories to introduce songs, and the

I am pleased to have as today’s Wednesday’s Guest, author Emma Calin, who has written some delightful children’s books that I reviewed last Sunday. In visiting her website, I discovered that she has also written books for adults. She lives part of the time in the UK and the rest in France, thus her unusual
