Putting Differences Aside
When I posted this last Wednesday, I had no idea how fitting it would be in light of the shootings in MN, TX, and LA. I truly wish it wasn’t. Slim Randles, my frequent Wednesday’s Guest, is a man of humor and wisdom, and today he shares a touching essay on how the Fourth of July […]
This Time Called Autumn
Please help me welcome Slim Randles back as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. While I do love his humorous offerings, now and then he gives us something that is incredibly thoughtful and, well, pretty. Not that a cowboy ever admits to pretty, at least not out loud to his friends at the Mule Barn Truck Stop. Why […]
Man’s Best Friend
Slim Randles is my Wednesday’s Guest today with a poignant story about a dog and an old man. They are so good for each other. If you are looking for some humor today, you could hop over to The Blood-Red Pencil where I have a post about the fun of writing with kids underfoot. They […]

Well, with the exception of Alaska and Hawaii, where summer is a bit different from here in the continental […]
Daybreak. Coffee. The Big Two.
I’m happy to have Slim Randles here again as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. I thought this was a nice piece that invites us to stop and appreciate our days, especially those early morning hours when the world is waking up. I do love those daybreak times when I go outside and the sun is rising over […]
An Ode to Autumn
My Wednesday Guest is Slim Randles. This time he is here with something more thoughtful than humorous, but, as always, a good read. I really like this piece as this is the way I feel about Autumn. It is my favorite time of year as it seems to beg for contemplation. Here in East Texas […]

Ah, September
Slim Randles is here as today’s Wednesday’s Guest, and he has a lovely essay about the first month of Autumn. I know a cowboy cringes when the word “lovely” is attributed to anything but a pretty young lady, but Slim might just forgive me this reference. The essay is so thoughtful, and, well, yes, lovely.
