A-Z Challenge – C is for Cats
I know it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to come up with C Is For Cats, but I simply could not pass up the opportunity to write about my cats again. Mostly because they are here. All the time. Right here. Walking all over my desk and keyboard. Sometimes they will leave me alone […]
Say Hello to Spring
Please welcome my semi-regular Wednesday guest, Slim Randles as he shares more fun from the gang at the Mule Barn Truck Stop, who are featured in his popular weekly column, Home Country. It was the sun’s fault; that’s all we could figure out later. Well, that and the demise of Doc’s phantom squirrel. For a […]
Wednesday’s Guest – Slim Randles
I always enjoy the cowboy philosophy and humor that Slim Randles shares with us. I hope you do, too. For more of his wit and wisdom, check out his new book A Cowboy’s Guide to Growing up Right Life is kinda like a corrugated, washboard ranch road, I believe. Give anything enough time and experience […]
Wednesday’s Guest – Slim Randles
I must have been cloned. Otherwise how could I be in three places at once. Here in my office working. Over at the Blood Red Pencil for my usual first Wednesday blog, and as a guest at a neat blog, Coffee With a Canine, where I introduce our dog, Poppy. While I am off gallivanting […]
The Day After Christmas – What a Mess
The day after Christmas was usually one of the best and one of the worst days of the year for our family. If that doesn’t make sense to you, don’t worry, I’m not sure it does to me either. But let me try to explain. It was the best because:There were now 364 more shopping […]
Wednesday’s Guest – Slim Randles
Here is another offering from humorist, Slim Randles, and his “Home Country” syndicated column. By the time we saw Dud, of course, the damage had been done. It was Steve who spoke first. “I don’t believe it,” the tall cowboy said. We all turned then, and the full impact of the deed struck us almost […]
Wednesday’s Guest – Tom Turkey
This time of year, turkeys are the most popular birds in the United States, so I thought I would go try to find one to see what he, or she, thinks about all this attention. ME: Um, excuse me. Are you a turkey? TT: Hey, keep it down. I’m trying to hide here. ME: Why? […]
Wednesday’s Guest – Slim Randles
Since it is deer hunting season in most states, I thought this piece from Slim would be fun to share. Enjoy…. It was that particular crispness in the pre-dawn air that got Jasper up and out early. He wasn’t going to the diggin’s today but had something else in mind. After Arthur finished his kibble, […]
Wednesday’s Guest – Slim Randles
When Dewey realized what he’d just told the woman of his dreams, he couldn’t say another thing. Struck dumb by the shock of telling her he was in cow manure, he silently handed her the flowers and looked down to see if the sidewalk would kindly swallow him. But Emily Stickles, she of the perfect […]
Wednesday’s Guest – Slim Randles
The actual dressing and preening took place in Dewey’s house, witnessed by Doc and Steve. Dewey told them that morning over coffee and horoscopes that the stars were right. Today would be the day. This very day, before lunch had settled upon the land, verily, he would approach Emily Stickles and introduce himself. Doc and […]
