Mid-Week Humor
This picture has nothing to do with the content of the blog today. I just thought it was so amusing to see Sammy in the shower yesterday. He appears to be asking if I’m coming in or not. 🙂 The cats are intrigued by this whole shower thing, sometimes actually coming in while the water […]
Books And Cats
Tomorrow, Saturday, I’ll be at the 2nd Annual Book Festival in Winnsboro, sponsored by the Winnsboro Center For the Arts. There will be 20-plus other authors in attendance, and here’s hoping the weather holds for us as this will be an outdoor event for the most part. I’m looking forward to sharing a table, and […]
Dogs And A #FridayRead
It’s taken my dog, Dusty, a long time to feel comfortable enough in the house to play, but he finally decided the other day that it was okay to chase this toy. Some of his reticence might be due to how the cat, Sammy, terrorizes him, but some of it is due to the fact […]
Great Summer Evenings
Before moving on to the guest post by Slim Randles I want to share something special from last Sunday. The Let’s Play Beginner Drama Camp at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts was dedicated to me, and I must say it was a great honor, as well as a huge surprise. I was the Theatre […]

Shift Happens
As someone who resists even rearranging the furniture in a room, imagine how hard it is for me to deal with a major change. I am also a person who puts down deep roots in a place, so it is hard for me to pull them up and go to another city or state. The heel […]
Monday Morning Musings
I’m back! Did you all play nicely while I was gone? The two-week drama camp was amazing, and the performances were outstanding. Here is a picture of just one of the scenes. The show title was “Mayhem on Market Street,” and the story involved thievery, mischief, and a search for a mcguffin. One of the parents […]
Monday Morning Musings
How was your weekend? Whatever you did, I hope it was fun and enriching. As usual, I had a busy two days. On Saturday there was an event at the GIlbreath Memorial Library here in my small town to once again celebrate the Official Winnsboro Historian, Bill Jones. We were both at the library to […]

How I Spent My Vacation
Last Thursday, May 31, I left for a short trip to Missouri to see my oldest daughter Cindy and her family. I couldn’t post about the trip in advance as it was a surprise for her birthday weekend. I went to see her in “Steel Magnolias” at the historic Farris Theatre where her family has […]
