This has been a busy week at my house. Lots of company has come over to all contribute to the beautification of my back and side yard. Here is a picture of what was done to the side where no grass would grow because of shade and my dog made a terrific muddy path. Thanks …
If you’re Irish, and even if you aren’t, you can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day along with everyone else. And if you happen to be in Ireland on the day, well, the celebration can’t get any better. At least that’s what Windy, and probably a lot of other folks think. Slim Randles is my guest today, …
On my morning walk I saw some other flowers that survived the recent cold-snap here in North Texas. I think this is an Azalea bush, but it is different from any other bushes I’ve seen. If you look closely you can see my dog, Dusty. I didn’t know he was in the picture until I …
After the last week of freezing temperatures here in Northeast Texas, we are ready for spring, as are the guys at the Mule Barn Truck Stop. There’s something about those cold winter days that make our minds go down strange paths. Dud is on a particularly strange one today, as Slim Randles shares with us …

Slim Randles is here today with his friend, Windy, who likes to fracture the English language like nobody else. I admire the guys at the Mule Barn Truck Stop who can follow the conversation with Windy and reply with hardly a moment’s hesitation. More power to them. Let’s join the guys with a cup of …
The government is up and running. tRump has accepted Nancy Pelosi’s invitation to give the State of the Union Address on February 5. I finally worked through a major plot tangle in my current WIP. All is well with the world. WIP, for all you non-writers out there, means work in progress, and I have …
The little blue flowers in that picture were popping up in a field behind my house. I took the picture on a warm day last week. They must have liked the sunshine. I wish there was more sunshine in the halls of government these days. I, like so many others, am so tired of the …
We are back at the Mule Barn Truck Stop today with some of the guys who call that their second home. Join Doc and Dud as they have a little fun with Steve, proving you are never too old to let your inner child out. This story reminds me of the good times I had …
