As always I appreciate my friend Slim Randles for sharing his columns with us, especially when it’s a day for a blog post and I have nothing. I mean no words. No issues to rant about, which may make some of you very happy. 🙂 Anyway, I’m going to let Slim entertain you while I …
Oh my, I can relate to this offering from Slim Randles, who is here as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. Anyone who’s been around large farm animals can. Read on and enjoy. But first, I want to share this photo of another flower that bloomed on my Hollyhock bush. I’m really loving this special surprise that popped …
Ah! I love this essay from Slim Randles, who is today’s Wednesday’s Guest. It reminds me of the swimming hole an uncle in West Virginia took us kids to one summer when we were visiting. I don’t remember a tire swing, but I do remember the deep, crystal clear water and the dead tree at …
Slim Randles is here as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with a bit of humor to get us over the mid-week hump. He always manages to enlighten and entertain. This meme has nothing to do with the topic of Slim’s essay, but I found it quite amusing when a friend shared it with me. I figured we …
This is an older post from Slim Randles, obviously written before the pandemic had us avoiding avoiding restaurants and diners like they were filled with rattlesnakes.

It’s next to impossible for a writer to not bring the current pandemic into his or her writing now’a days, and Slim Randles is right there with the rest of us. It’s been fun seeing the pandemic through the eyes of the guys at the Mule Barn Truck stop, especially from good ol’ Windy. Before …
Well, it’s Wednesday again, and here’s Slim Randles with another bit of fun with Windy Wilson. If the social limitations of the current pandemic are starting wear down your coping skills, you have nothing on good ol’ Windy. He of the fractured English and limited social graces that make the guys down at the Mule-Barn …
Before I turn the blog over to Slim Randles for his Wednesday’s Guest post, I just have to take a moment to stop and remember George Floyd, the man who was so callously killed by a Minnesota police officer on Monday. Floyd was being arrested as a suspect in a forgery case, and after he …
Please help me welcome Slim Randles as my Wednesday’s Guest. He’s here today with another thoughtful piece about Spring and how some of the folks that frequent the Mule Barn Truck Stop are enjoying pleasant evenings in May. It’s been pleasant here in my corner of the world, too. Evenings and early mornings have been …
These lilies come back in my front flower pots every year, and they just recently bloomed. They were the first plant I bought to add to this little rock garden along the side of my garage at my new house two years ago, and I now have two pots of them blooming. Now I’m going …
