Friday Read – Book Excerpt
As promised on Monday, here is another excerpt from A Dead Tomato Plant and a Paycheck, my humorous memoir. Back when I was writing the weekly newspaper column, from which most of this book is taken, I didn’t shy away from poking fun at anyone, including myself. Today, let’s share some chocolate, chocolate chip muffins. […]
Free Read – Book Excerpt
I will be sharing excerpts from my humorous memoir over the next week or so, with a break from this nonsense for nonsense, er guest posts from Slim Randles. Between the two of us, we ought to be able to keep you entertained. If not, don’t bother to tell us so. 🙂 For refreshments, I’ll […]
Celebrating Mother’s Day
In honor of Mother’s Day, I thought I would dust off a column I wrote when my children were young and I was writing for a Dallas publication. This column, among others, is part of a book I’ve worked on off and on for a number of years – I hate to say how many […]

Monday Morning Musings
Starting my third week with no Internet service, thanks to Cable One who lost my initial order that was placed January 29th. The service was supposed to be installed within a few days, but that didn’t happen, so I called back the following Monday. This time I was told that they could not find a […]

The following is an excerpt from my humorous memoir, A Dead Tomato Plant and a Paycheck, […]
Trick Or Treat
I know it is a little early. Halloween is not until next Tuesday. But with so many towns and cities having events this weekend, I wanted to join in the fun. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. When my kids were young, I looked forward to the family rituals of costume-making and pumpkin-carving with […]
Book Excerpt – Evelyn Evolving
This is always a really busy time for me as I jump between two drama camps – one that just finished and one that starts July 10th – and have my birthday bash in between. But I love the company, and I love the kids who come to the camps. Even though I am ready […]

#Fridayreads – Excerpt From a Humorous Memoir
Now that I am back living in a neighborhood and not out in the country anymore, this excerpt from my humorous memoir, A Dead Tomato Plant And A Paycheck, is particularly meaningful. I did like my country home that was surrounded by pine trees, so there was no real lawn to deal with. The rest […]
