Slim Randles is here to entertain us with another story about one of the guys from the Mule Barn Truck Stop gang. These people are imaginary…maybe, and we don’t know where the truck stop is located, but I imagine it could be any small rural town in any state in the country. Well, except Hawaii. …
Slim Randles is my guest today while I am otherwise preoccupied. I love this story about Marvin and his new fishing rod. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. It’s really starting to warm up here in Texas, so maybe it’s time for some lemonade. Help yourself. It was just one of those …
Slim Randles is here to entertain today, but before I let him take the stage, I want to explain why this post is going up so late on Wednesday. My plan was to get it ready to go live yesterday, but that plan came to a screeching halt when I had to have a root …

The couple who bought my house in Winnsboro were kind enough to post pictures of the roses growing on that property. I always enjoyed stopping to smell the roses as I headed out for a walk in the mornings, and one bush did produce the prettiest roses. Of course, I don’t remember the name of …
Slim Randles is my guest today with a touching story about a dog and a man. Billy, the dog, is not a registered therapy dog, but it is obvious he brings great joy and comfort to those he meets on his rounds around town. I can attest to the value of having a dog as …
