Happy day after Thanksgiving everyone. Are you as stuffed as the turkey was and lounging in front of the television, not venturing out to the stores this Black Friday? I’m not stuffed, but I’m still not going out. I’ll be sharing time with my daughter-in-law putting up her Christmas tree. Then later going to my …
Slim Randles is here again as today’s Wednesday’s Guest, bringing us another distorted history lesson from good ol’ Windy. You just never know what he’s going to come up with, but it always brings achuckle or two. Before turning the space over to Slim and Windy, I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I …
One of the perks of attending Bouchercon was getting tickets to select four free books from the book bazaar. I was delighted to see books from some authors I’ve enjoyed reading in the past, especially Timothy Hallinan. We’ve been virtual friends for some time, and I’ve read and enjoyed many of his books. It’s hard …
My Thanksgiving week was pretty terrific. My son, Mike, and his family came up from Austin for a few days, so I got to spend some good times with them. Then on Thanksgiving day, another son joined us for the day and we ate a great meal that my daughter-in-law prepared. Yeah Corina. The next …
HAPPY THANKSGIVING Sending out good wishes to everyone who celebrates this day of gratefulness. I hope you have much to celebrate. It always seems a little trite, and almost a cliche, to say one is most thankful for family, but I am. I have the most amazing children, grandchildren and extended family, and that was …
And the fun begins! Heading toward Thanksgiving here in the States many of us are knee-deep in preparations for company and for the day of celebrating. That is true for me, too. I’m going to have my first gathering for the holiday here in my new house, so I am working toward having the house …
Before moving on to the letter that Beto O’Rourke sent to his supporters last week, I want to share this picture of what I thought was the last rose to bloom before winter sets in for real here in East Texas. When I took the shot, I noticed a few buds on this bush and …
Perhaps it was the holiday, or perhaps it was because the server was down, and I did not know it because of the holiday, the website was nonfunctional for several days. My apologies for not seeing it right away, but all is well now. I do hope that all my U.S. friends and family had …
Looking ahead to next week, it is not too soon to have a fun Thanksgiving story from Slim Randles. It’s also not too soon to start testing the pumpkin pies. In my mind, there are never too many pumpkin pies. Help yourself. Steve will have Thanksgiving dinner over at Doc’s and Mrs. Doc’s this …
Since things have been so dire in the news, in the world, and even in some of our own lives for a while, I thought we could use a little relief from the stress with some fun from Slim Randles. He is usually my Wednesday’s Guest, but the week got away from me, as did …
