An Epitaph or An Epithet
Help me welcome Slim Randles as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. He has another fun story from the guys down at the Mule Barn Truck Stop. You just never know what the gang is going to talk about and this conversation is full of toads and spuds and pirates. Read along and enjoy some pie and coffee with […]
Special Picnics
Slim Randles is here as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with a thoughtful piece about shyness and friendships. We have all had moments of being extremely shy – well some of us – and maybe feeling so awkward that we could hardly say a word. But maybe not to the extreme of Richard. I hope you enjoy […]
Solving World Problems
Slim Randles is here again as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with a fun essay about men and horses and the benefits of pairing up. I have long known the benefits of pairing up with horses. I’ve had three in my lifetime, and below is a picture of my current horse, Banjo. I have had him now for close […]
Quilting Could Take Years
How absolutely horrid that terrorists chose a family-friendly site to enact another bombing that took so many lives and injured so many more.

Meet Irma the Chicken
Please help me welcome Slim Randles as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with a fun story about Irma the chicken. I tried to have chickens once. Even have a very fine coop in my barn with a roost and a nifty ladder up to the roost. I bought five chickens from my neighbor and thought my grasshopper […]

I thought the little details about the trains and the steam engines rang very true in the book, and here’s why: As a certified locomotive engineer, and […]

Help me welcome Slim Randles as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with a few words of caution about bears, assuming you might live near, or visit, a place where a bear might stumble upon you, or you, it. Keep in mind that this is a more serious offering than his usual fun stuff from the guys at […]
