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 […]
Happy New Year
I hope 2018 brings everyone much happiness and good health. This certainly is going to be a New Year for me as I leave this place that has been home for nearly 16 years. In so many ways this plot of land and this house has been more than a home. It was the fruition of my […]
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 […]

Monday Morning Musings
How was your weekend? Things were busy here with company that arrived on Thursday and stayed until Sunday mid-day. We had a grand time doing some gardening one day, then visiting shops in town on another – well, the company visited shops. I stayed inside the art center because the heat and sun made Ramsay […]
Memorial Day
First things first: This is a day we typically celebrate with cookouts, visits to cemeteries to put flowers on the graves of our loved ones who died in battle somewhere, sometime, and build memories with family still living. Since I am far away from graves of military men in my family, I will not be […]
Book #Excerpt – Evelyn Evolving
Last weekend the “Generations” art exhibition opened at the Winnsboro Center For the Arts, and I was so thrilled to see an entire wall taken up with art from my family, starting with my mother. I posted a couple of pictures on Monday, and here is another one. The bed dolls were made by my […]

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 […]
