There’s a New Mule in Town!
I was walking Porche Dog at the golf course last week, head down, watching my step. thoughts a million miles away. As we neared the turn at the first green, I looked up, and look what greeted me. A surprise mule! Naturally, I had to stop and do a closer inspection and...
The Hail Storm
Sunday night we were given that trite weather report that we might experience golf-ball sized hail and high winds. We have had hail, but this time the weather gods really did send us Golf-Ball Sized Hail ! The wind blew the hail in a nearly horizontal line out of the...
The Soccer Games- Kids in Constant Motion
I happened upon a batch of soccer games last Saturday. Kids were scurrying around chasing balls all over the place! I was intrigued, so I thought I’d find out how that all came about. Well, it seems back in 2016 Raul Mata was looking for sports for his kids to play...

Marshall and Helen
On most Sundays at First Methodist Church in Muleshoe, I sing along with the organ music played by Marshall Cook. The same hands that play that organ hand-crafted the communion table that holds the elements of the Last Supper when I take communion. And that’s not all...
Cowgirl Things
I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t drawn to horses. I don’t know that I can even explain what the attraction is. That they are beautiful goes without saying. Their strength is obvious. Their intelligence is sometimes overlooked. Riding, for me, was being one with...
