Good Monday morning everyone. Before moving on to a bit of a snarky commentary, I want to share a pretty picture – just because. Looking at pretty things can bring a sense of peace and calm, just like a good belly laugh can. So I hope the picture and the jokes get your week off …
Slim Randles is my guest again today. This time with a sweet story about a dog and his job. I’ve just returned from a quick trip to Austin, so no time to bake. Does anyone have a cookie or scone to share with our coffee? Before I turn the stage over to Slim Randles, I …
As promised on Monday, here is another excerpt from A Dead Tomato Plant and a Paycheck, my humorous memoir.

I have had a long love affair with trees. It started when I was a child and would climb the large Elm in my backyard. Sometimes to read. Other times to just sit and be away from everything and everybody else. Often it was a refuge. And I was devastated when the people who bought …
Here’s another fun hunting story from Slim Randles. These are almost as good as “the one that got away” stories. And what would we do without friends to help us out when we need an extra hand? I am sure appreciating my friends a lot in this moving process. It has gotten a bit nippy …

Today I can wish folks a happy Halloween for real. It is also the last day I can wear my Halloween socks, which is a good thing as I wore them all week, and they really need to go to the laundry basket. Even the dog avoids my feet. But aren’t they cute. I felt like a …
