Relay for Life and the Yard Tour
Muleshoe’s annual Relay for Life was held Friday, June 6th at the Bailey County Coliseum. I attended last year (see “Muleshoe Does Relay for Life,” June 12, 2013”) but chose to support the fight against cancer this year by purchasing a ticket to the yard tour...
The USAF Flying Thunderbirds
The Flying Thunderbirds gave new meaning to the phrase shock and awe at the Cannon AFB air show we attended on May 24th (“Memorial Day 2014,” May 26, 2014). If you have never had the privilege of seeing them fly, add them to your bucket list. According to...
Heritage Center Open House
The Muleshoe Heritage Foundation hosted a right nice evening of food, entertainment, and viewing of the Heritage Center’s new office. An appreciative crowd gathered Saturday evening, May 31st, for a variety of activities, starting with a horsemanship demonstration...
Memorial Day 2014
Marine Corporal Eddie Alvarado and his family at the Bailey County Cemetery Memorial Day Service. This is what Memorial Day is all about; not some sale or cook-out or day off work. Memorial Day is a day to remember; remember and honor and give thanks. We started our...

On Tuesday, April 29, Beta Sigma Phi sorority in Muleshoe held its annual Founder’s Day celebration. The highlight of the evening is naming a Woman of the Year, someone from Muleshoe who has given of her time and talents for the benefit of the community and its...
Ingrid’s Custom Hand Woven, Inc.
if you are in the area of the Texas Hill Country, I suggest you take a little side trip to Paint Rock to see what I fear is a dying art once done by hand-taking fleece, cording and spinning it into yarn, and weaving the yarn into rugs. Beautiful, one of a kind rugs....
How to Get the Man of the Year to the Chamber Banquet
You lie and plot, that’s how. And oh, what a tangled web was woven. Right off the bat things were more complicated because Lonnie Adrian had made plans not to attend the Muleshoe Chamber of Commerce banquet, but to travel to Liberty, Texas, to build playground...
Only Put Off Until Tomorrow…
…that which you are willing to die having left undone. I shared this little gem with you in a past post (“The Vitamind,” December 15, 2010), but it really hit home during Spring Break when we discovered we had waited too long to do something we had thought about doing...
