Sweet Story by Slim Randles

On Monday I won’t be watching the inauguration ceremonies. Not just because I am heartsick at who is being sworn in, I haven’t watched many of those for a long time. Why when my patriotism has only slipped in recent years? I think the money spent on all that pomp is money wasted. And especially

I’m back from a wonderful vacation in North Carolina to visit with a daughter and her kids and grandkids – my great-grands. What fun it is to spend time with little kids who delight in so much – from coloring to swinging at the park to reading books. We had a terrific Thanksgiving gathering at

Thanksgiving Humor

By far one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving dinner involves pumpkin pie. This is the first year in I don’t know how long that I won’t make the traditional pie for dinner today. My granddaughter-in-law prepared the dinner and I’ll honor whatever she has chosen for desert, but rumor has it that I make
