The Blue Moon
Well, I completely missed the boat when I wrote about the full moon the other day (“The Moon is Amazing,” August 14 ) because when I told you to check out the next full moon on August 31st, I overlooked the the fact that this moon will be one of the fabled blue moons...
Stuck in the 50s, 60s…or 70s…Heck, Maybe Even The 80s
My son AJ accused me of hopelessly floundering in a sea of music oldies. Well, based on today’s music, I think this generation of kids and young adults is floundering in a sea of really bad music. Of course, the generation gap couldn’t possibly have anything to do...
Let Me Tell You About The Triumphs
If you read last week’s blog, “I Saw Old People!,” you know we attended a Lamar Consolidated High School All 60s Class Reunion and had the pleasure of listening to the music of The Triumphs and a special appearance by BJ Thomas, who used to sing with the band back in...
I Saw Old People!
That’s what class reunions are all about, right? What, you were expecting people to be walking around in some mystical reincarnation of their senior year portrait? Maybe at a five-year reunion, but not at an all 60’s reunion, like I attended last Saturday. This...
The Moon is Amazing
I hope you had a reason to be out and enjoy the full moon last week. It was spectacular. The moon just has to be one of God’s best ideas. It gives us light to find our way at night; it serves as a marker that a month has passed; it inspires stories of romance,...
Seventy Years is a Lifetime
When the invitation came, I told Colten to not make any plans for July 28, as we would be going to Graham, Texas, to help celebrate Dick and Loreda’s seventieth wedding anniversary. He stood there a minute and thought. “Seventy years,” he said. “Seventy years. That’s...
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...
