Today I’m thinking about my husband and missing him. Had he lived, this would be his 82nd birthday. When I was contemplating what to write about for today’s blog, I thought of how much he liked Halloween. He loved to sit out on the porch in a costume and make scary noises as the kids …

Slim Randles is here as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with some thoughts on colors of autumn. I think there must be autumnal reasons for Halloween being hued in orange and black. It’s a fun time, a magic evening if you’re a kid, and if you’re a grandpa-type guy, like me, who gets to …

Good Friday morning. I hope this is the end of a good, productive week for everyone. Mine has been anything but. Too many appointments taking me away from my writing this week, but I did get a little bit done yesterday on the third book in the Seasons Mystery Series. If I dedicate most of …

Slim Randles is here as today’s Wednesday’s Guest, and it’s actually Wednesday. 🙂 One of the many nice things about Slim is that he sends these columns out at no charge, and they are seen in hundreds of newspapers across the country and cyberspace. I’m always grateful that he shares these with us, and I …
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and that’s just what has kept some salesmen going, reaching deep into their bag of ingenuity to find a new trick. Slim Randles is here today with a story about Willoughby, the bane of the folks at the Mule Barn Truck Stop. Grab a cup of coffee and a …
