Ben’s Basketball Game
Our neighbors down Highway 84 at Sudan watched their girls’ basketball team, the Nettes, become the Class 1-A state basketball champs. The town was giddy with pride and joy over the team’s accomplishment, as they should have been. But we traveled south last weekend to...
In Honor of Black History Month
February is Black History Month, and before we turn the page on the calendar, I want to say thank you to some of the Americans of African descent who have enriched my life. Thank you to George Washington Carver for his work with peanuts. While he didn’t...
My Valentine’s Day Rocked!
No, really. My valentine was an all day road trip to gather rocks for my latest landscaping project. My husband has this knack for coming up with appropriate gifts for me. For example, after I received my fist Painted Pony from my friend Hellen, Bill gave me a second...

Back in the 80s the Muleshoe hospital auxiliary had a thrift store run by Jennie McVicker and Dorothy Green, wife of Dr. Green at the hospital. This thrift store operated from two different locations, the last one being on Highway 84. Time passed and about the time...

Man, don’t you just love computers. When they work. Perhaps you have noticed a slight change in format of the blog. And perhaps you have had trouble writing comments, because I have had trouble responding to comments for about the last week or so. My tech support...
Bare Legs and Bad Choices
Well, I made the mistake of clicking on one of those MSN teasers about what the movie stars wore to the People’s Choice Awards and saw that the so-called well-dressed are still undressed with bare legs. Britain’s new royal princess may have had brief success in...
Friends Accuse Me of Being A. R.
A. R. referring to anal retentive, of course. I figured I’d better not use the word anal in the title so the blog wouldn’t show up in some pornography website list, since questionable material appeared when I tried to Google the difference between being anal and...
Enchanted Rock
I was looking for something to brighten your drought-stricken, brown, cold, windy winter day and came across pictures from one of our visits to Enchanted Rock, between Llano and Fredericksburg, Texas. Just the thing to take one’s mind, ever so briefly, off the...
