∞ Please help me welcome Terry Korth Fischer as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. I previewed her newest book, Gone Astray, on Sunday, and the book released on February 15. If you live anywhere in the central part of the U.S. from Texas up to North Dakota, you need lots of hot chocolate to stay warm. I’m adding […]

∞ The kitten has nothing to do with today’s post. I just love the meme. I dare you not to smile when you see it. Double dare you. 🙂 Before I turn the blog stage over to Slim Randles and the gang down at the Mule Barn Truck Stop, I want to acknowledge the glimmer of […]

∞ We’ve had pleasant days here in Texas recently, and yesterday I took advantage of the warm weather to undecorate from Christmas and get things packed back in the garage. Normally I wait until after January 6, the day the three wise men visited baby Jesus, but it’s going to get wet and colder here. I […]

∞ When I was a child, we would often go to West Virginia for Thanksgiving. My father would feel the pull to visit his childhood home, and his kinfolk, and my sister and I would go every other year, as dictated in divorce papers. Back then, I didn’t know about divorce papers, or what my mother […]

∞ Thanksgiving is right around the corner. That is if you think in terms of calendar corners, since we just have one weekend to go then Turkey Day will be here. The holiday will be very different this year, thanks to COVID19, and families may not be gathering like in the past. As for my family, […]

∞ As I write this, we don’t know for sure who has won the elections across the country. Lots of mail-in ballots are still to be counted. I’m still staying away from news for the most part, and I thought a little humor from Slim Randles might be in order. The following is an older post […]
