Friday’s Odds and Ends
Heading into the Labor Day weekend, we who are still safe and dry are conflicted about doing the usual end-of-summer celebration. At least I am a bit.

Monday Morning Musings
I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was very busy. First on Friday I drove to McKinney for the McKinney Book Festival. It was held on Saturday, but I wanted to go early to see some of my kids and be in town for the 8AM set up on Saturday. It was a fun […]
Monday Morning Musings
First I want to share a picture of the lovely rose I received from one of my cast members Sunday. That was the last performance of our comedy show “Anne-Arky,” and we had a cast party afterward, which was as much fun as the show. Now just a bit of a rant. When I read […]
