The week between the holidays gets a bit chaotic for many people, myself included, so I am letting Slim Randles entertain you today with an essay. Jasper and Sarah and all the people in this make-believe world do remind me a bit of folks in my small town. Somehow they are more willing to act on impulse …
I have a surprise guest today. I know, it isn’t Wednesday, but Slim Randles is already scheduled for Wednesday, so I thought I’d introduce you to a fantastic singer. First I have to say I had not heard of Heather Schmid until I received an e-mail from her publicity folks. I guess because I’m on …
Earlier this week I received a phone call from my niece, Pat, telling me that her father had died a few weeks ago. Somehow in the confusion of the sudden death there was a mix-up in the phone calls, and I was not notified at the time. George Watson was married to my husband’s sister, Mary, …
Before getting into the usual topics on my Friday blog, I wanted to share some exciting news. S&H Publishing is a small publisher with a big heart that releases quality books. I first did business with them when they accepted my story, “To Love Again” for their International collection of short stories –Short & Happy (or not) Now they …
First this meme to start us off with a chuckle. I couldn’t resist. My husband was a minister, frequently wore a white dress, and doused many a child. And before we move on to the news, don’t forget to enter the YA Back-to-School Giveaway. The last day to enter is September 12. I am one …

Please help me welcome Slim Randles as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. As a divergence from his normal Home Country humor, he is sharing some thought on those wonderful, lazy summer evenings, when the work is done, dinner is over, and we can sit outside on a deck or porch, or even a stump, and simply enjoy. …
While I am still recovering from Ramsey Hunt Syndrome, I’ll let Slim Randles entertain you when I am able to be on the computer long enough to get his post up. This is a good one, so I hope you enjoy it. And help yourself to a cookie. Steve reached up and put his …
It was a very busy weekend for me, this third week of our Autumn Trails Festival in Winnsboro. It was Trail Ride weekend, so Friday afternoon I rode in a wagon in the Welcome parade. Here are some of the local rodeo riders leading out the parade. I rode with the Man of the Year, …
I hope everyone had a great weekend. As so often happens, mine was spent in large part at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts. On Saturday there was a concert with Beyond the Pale, a wonderful band that does a mix of Celtic, Americana and Folk, with a polka or two thrown into the mix. …
