This will not be my usual Friday fare. You may have guessed that already by the different title, and I was trying not to write about what is going on with some pro football players. Really I was. I didn’t want to enter into the media coverage of the latest “bad boy” behavior in the …

Autumn is Welcomed

Leave a Comment / Maryann Miller, Slim Randles, Uncategorized, Wednesday's Guest / By mcm0704

I’m so pleased to have Slim Randles as my Wednesday’s Guest this week. Instead of his usual humorous offering, he has a rather poetic piece about autumn. I guess since there is cowboy poetry, Slim won’t be offended by me referring to this as poetic. Since he is helping us welcome in Autumn, I thought …

I hope everyone had a terrific weekend. Mine was spent at the East Texas Book Fest where I connected with some of my author friends, met some new ones, and chatted with visitors about how much fun it is to read. There is a real passion on both sides of the book, and I find …

Remembering 9/11

Leave a Comment / commentary, Maryann Miller / By mcm0704

With the passing of time, the urgency we all felt that awful September day seems to have waned somewhat. Now we are more focused on the inconveniences of air travel that event spawned than on what we as a nation and a people experienced in the first weeks and months following the terrorist attacks. …

On this, the eve of remembering 9/11, I thought it appropriate to have a special guest today, Major Heather Penny. I read about this amazing woman last Sunday in Parade Magazine. In 2001 she was an F-16 pilot with the 121st Fighter Squadron of the D.C. Air National Guard at Andrews Air Force Base in …

Remembering….

3 Comments / Maryann Miller, Uncategorized / By mcm0704

One year ago on this date my husband died. We had just celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary and were so hoping we would make it to 50. Since his health had been so fragile for a year or more, we both knew that was a real long-shot, but we hoped nonetheless. That’s what people do, …

A Girl And Her Horse

2 Comments / Maryann Miller, Uncategorized / By mcm0704

Girls are notoriously horse-crazy. I know I was as a child. I collected plastic horses and ceramic horses, and the first stories I wrote were about horses. One of the stories won the Scholastic Writing Awards contest when I was 12, and created a writing monster. (smile) I couldn’t have a horse of my own …
