Maybe it’s the time of year. Or the challenges we are all facing with uncertainties that are out of our control. Or just the fact that sometime Slim Randles gets very thoughtful in what he writes. He is more than a humorist after all, and through the years that I’ve gotten to know him by …
Since we’re are all still dealing with lock-down, social distancing, health scares, and so much more because of the COVID 19 situation, I thought a little fun on the blog would lighten the load for all of us. A version of this post first appeared on the blog in 2006. Enjoy… My very first publishing …
Slim Randles is my guest today with an essay about Spring that encapsulates how many of us view this season of the year – new growth, new hope, new wonder. In the spirit of all that is wonderful about Spring, here is a picture of some wild flowers that pop up everywhere here in my …
Slim Randles is here as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with an entertaining story about rain and storms. When was the last time you said “thank you” for the rain? Before I turn the blog over to Slim, however, I do want to take a moment to remember my father who died on April 1, 2010. I’ll …
I just returned from North Carolina where I attended my granddaughter’s wedding. (By the picture above, you can probably guess what city we were in.)

I hope you enjoy reading these excerpts, and I’d love any feedback you are willing to give. If you’d like to get the first two books …
Once again I welcome Slim Randles as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. The guys from the Mule-Barn Truck Stop are out at their favorite fishing hole. It’s getting to be that time of the year again for casting a line out at the lake to see what you can catch. Many of the columns Slim shares here, …
Join me in welcoming Slim Randles as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. This story about Steve and the goat really resonated with me. When I first moved to my little “ranch” in East Texas, I wanted a goat. Despite what folks said about not getting a billy, I bought the cutest little kid, that soon grew into …
Sharing another excerpt of the new Seasons Mystery, Desperate Season. I’m doing a final edit, then I hope the book will be ready for a publishing home. Sarah Kingsly eased back to a comfortable lope a quarter of a mile from home, then slowed to a walk for the final block to cool down. When …

Slim Randles is here as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. The guest here at my house is a return of the nasty cold I had last week. I thought I’d kicked it out, but somehow it slipped back in. Must have been that day it was unseasonably warm here in Northeast TX, and I had a window …
