Nothing Like a Good Dog
Slim Randles is my guest today with a touching story about a dog and a man. Billy, the dog, is not a registered therapy dog, but it is obvious he brings great joy and comfort to those he meets on his rounds around town. I can attest to the value of having a dog as […]
Monday Morning Musing
Did you watch the Superbowl last night? I did not, as I don’t have television reception here in my new house. I don’t even have Internet service yet, so all my online business is happening with the help of the hotspot on my iPhone. My computer has built in wi-fi, so once my office was […]
Christmas Magic
Here is a story from Slim Randles that is sure to make you smile. As we celebrate so many winter holidays at this time of the year, stories like this touch our hearts in a special way, no matter which holiday we claim as our own. And I dare you not to smile at this charming snowman. For years […]
Monday Fun and a Free Book
Thought I’d start the day with a fun meme. I love this little kitty, and she can steal my mouse any time she wants. Things are getting busier and busier for me as I get closer to my moving date, which will be sometime right after Christmas. Adding all the things that have to be […]
The Perfect Dog
It’s hard to believe, but it is four years to the day since my husband, Carl, died. Thoughts of him, and the life we shared here at Grandma’s Ranch, have been poignant of late as I prepare to sell the property and move. All of the busyness of preparing for the big move has led […]

Those of us who have had dogs that defy description can relate to this story from Slim Randles about Dud and his dog. And hopefully it can bring a smile as you read along. I’m sure the guys at the Mule Barn Truck Stop will be happy to share some of the coffee and french […]

Between preparing for the summer drama camps at the Winnsboro Center For the Arts and extra time spent with the new dog, Hannah, I have not had much down time. Which is probably a good thing in a way, as I am getting lots of exercise. Today I’m going to share another excerpt from Evelyn […]
Monday Morning Musings
How was your weekend? Things were busy here with company that arrived on Thursday and stayed until Sunday mid-day. We had a grand time doing some gardening one day, then visiting shops in town on another – well, the company visited shops. I stayed inside the art center because the heat and sun made Ramsay […]
Monday Morning Musings
I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was very busy. First on Friday I drove to McKinney for the McKinney Book Festival. It was held on Saturday, but I wanted to go early to see some of my kids and be in town for the 8AM set up on Saturday. It was a fun […]

A Special Dog
Slim Randles is my guest again today. This time with a sweet story about a dog and his job. I’ve just returned from a quick trip to Austin, so no time to bake. Does anyone have a cookie or scone to share with our coffee? Before I turn the stage over to Slim Randles, I […]
