KCBD Comes to Muleshoe
About this time every year KCBD Channel 11 in Lubbock sponsors an event they call Community Coverage and run away from the offices in Lubbock for a round of road trips to visit five towns in their viewing area as a way of saying thank you for watching. This year it...
Galveston
Last summer we traveled to South Padre Island; this year it was Galveston Island’s turn. Those of you who have had the pleasure to play on both beaches will probably agree with me that Padre is the prettier beach, hands down. But the island has history on its...
Meet Me at the Yellow Jacket
If you went to school in Muleshoe from 1946 to 1999, chances are you ate a few lunches at the Yellow Jacket Inn. Or wished you could have. The Muleshoe mascot in those days was the yellow jacket, the school colors were gold and purple, and all grade levels were...
The Valentine Rocks
This past Valentine’s Day my valentine presented me with a rock-gathering trip (“My Valentine’s Day Rocked!” February 21, 2012). Well, I am happy to report those rocks have been rolled around, planted and placed, arranged and rearranged, and are now all settled in...

Now It’s Band, Choir, and Art’s Turn
Just like the athletes, speech, and one act kids, band, choir, and art can advance and be recognized for superior performance. But the process is a bit different in these areas. Athletic contests make it pretty easy to declare a winner; you run fastest, jump highest,...
Maya’s Dance Recital
Dancing With The Stars is a big deal right now. Well, not any bigger than our granddaughter’s first dance recital, which we drove down for the other day. The costumes were just as sparkly, the music just as danceable, the dancers just as attractive, the audience just...
Memorial Day
We chose to start our Memorial Day this year by remembering and giving thanks for those Americans who chose to serve in the military in the name of the United State of America. For about the...
The Wizard of One Act-and Other Literary Events
Way back last century, in 1960, Kerry Moore began his teaching career in Muleshoe High School. The century turned, the Y-2K scare became a blip in the time line, but the 74 year-old Memphis, Texas, native is still in the game, grooming debaters, coaching the finer...
