Let’s Put Some Miles on the Car!
We decided to try a lease rather than purchase this time around and signed up for 60,000 miles for the three years of the lease. That comes out to about 20,000 year, right? Well, we came home with the car last July, and nine months later the odometer registers 11, 449...
The Muleshoe Golf Team Goes to Regional
A Georgia native son may have won the Masters, but here in West Texas we are more excited about five local heroes placing second in district and traveling next week to tee off in the regional tournament. The district meet was held this year at the Muleshoe...
Cactus Flowers
Other than those I imported from Wyoming, my cold hardy cactus aren’t blooming yet. Making buds, but no blooms. That happens in May. But look at all the color going on inside the greenhouse: I snuck in a shot of Black&White Kitty just to see if you were paying...
Prime Time Pornography
I made the mistake of tuning into CBS for distraction the other day when I walked on the treadmill due to bad weather outside. I should have known better, as I had seen bits and pieces of their Monday night line-up before when looking for something to watch and was...
Nature’s First Green Really is Gold
Now don’t panic-I’m not putting you through an English lesson on poetry-and we could look at this one on several levels, but Robert Frost said it best when he wrote “Nature’s first green is gold/Her hardest hue to hold.” We drove down to the Texas Hill Country for our...
Dreary Saturday Blues
Pity Party Central here. B.B. King is wailing about the “Stormy Monday Blues,” and as much as I like B.B. King, Bobby Bland does that particular song better. The sky is overcast and gray, as it has been for several days, the wind is still blowing, the...
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...
The Heritage Thrift Shop
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...
