Slim Randles is back again as today’s Wednesday’s Guest, and I really like this essay about the state fair. I have always loved to go to fairs – the rides, the livestock barns, the funnel cakes, the cotton candy, and have I mentioned the livestock barns? Not everyone likes to tramp through those hot, smelly …
First I want to share this picture I took the other day. I have a lovely bed of Mexican Petunias, and they are in full bloom now. This shot was taken with my phone camera, which isn’t the best, and I could not get the colors to show true. The flowers are a deeper purple. This …
First this meme to start us off with a chuckle. I couldn’t resist. My husband was a minister, frequently wore a white dress, and doused many a child. And before we move on to the news, don’t forget to enter the YA Back-to-School Giveaway. The last day to enter is September 12. I am one …
Slim Randles is here as today’s Wednesday’s Guest, and he has a lovely essay about the first month of Autumn. I know a cowboy cringes when the word “lovely” is attributed to anything but a pretty young lady, but Slim might just forgive me this reference. The essay is so thoughtful, and, well, yes, lovely. …
First off, I want to wish all my readers in the U.S. a Happy Labor Day. I remember the Labor Day celebrations of my past, mostly a day to go to the corner to watch a parade and mark the end of summer with one last picnic before school started. After I married and joined the Miller …
Starting off today with a contest. I have been sponsoring back-to-school contests, one of which just ended, and this new one runs until September 12th. The Grand Prize Winner will receive a Kindle Fire as well as one e-book from each of the participating authors! The Runner-Up will receive a selection of 15 e-books from the featured authors. Not too …
This may or may not be my last commentary about the political scene, but I will try my best to not rail against the candidates too often. IN RECENT NEWS The Trumster has realized he has to soften his stance on the immigration issue, as well as tone down his racist rhetoric. All that because …
Slim Randles is here again as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with a story that many of us can relate to. At least those of us who are familiar with small town grocery stores where checking out can take a little longer than at a big city move-em-down-the-line kind of mega store. Since it is still so …
How would you like to win one of four $100 Amazon Gift Cards just in time for the new school year? You could use the gift card to buy school supplies for your kiddos, or maybe splurge on something just for you. No matter how I decided to spend a gift card, I’d be thrilled to …
Instead of having a guest post from Slim Randles or another author, I thought I would feature some of the Olympians as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. Have you been watching the Olympics? I have caught some of the events and was so thrilled to see Simone Biles win 4 gold medals in gymnastics. Her floor event was spectacular. And another …
