Mules 35-Portales 14
I’m afraid I have to admit we were what Aggies disdainfully label a two-percenter last night, you know, someone who only gives 2% in effort and loyalty to their team, and did not attend the Muleshoe-Portales football game. So I will give credit to Dave Wagner...
I Liked “The Help.”
I read the book last year and was sorry to see it end. So when I heard the movie was coming out, I couldn’t wait to see it. I wasn’t disappointed. I am not going to rehash the plot of “The Help.” Those of you have read the book or seen the movie...
Mules 28-Shallowater 35
Well, I don’t even know where to start. This first game of the new season was not one of our best efforts. To begin with, it was 103 degrees at game time, way too hot for football. Wearing shorts, sleeveless shirt, and flip flops to the stadium just isn’t right....
Poopie and Black&White Kitty
Poopie and Black&White Kitty came to live with us when Colten came to live with us in May of 2010. Caroline had just remarried and was moving to Clovis, which made sense since her husband’s business is in Clovis. Colten, however, didn’t want to change...
The Art Loft
Back in 1961, Inez Bobo, Marie Lenau, Arline Phelps, Matilda Slemmons, and Vere Fox embarked on a venture that gave birth to another one of Muleshoe’s claims to fame, the Art Loft. It all started when these five friends, neighbors, decided to take art lessons from Dr....
Random Acts of Kindness
I’ve often heard people relate times when they felt that God had spoken to them. While I definitely have felt like I have been in the presence of God, I’ve never really felt like He was sending me a message. Well, Sunday, all of that changed. Thanks to Monty’s...
The Velveteen Car
“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair...
In Memory of Little Cat
Little Cat was next on my list of cats to introduce to my readers. Unfortunately, Little Cat was missing when we came home from a trip to the lake on June 29. I have called and called, looked and looked, checked with Animal Control, alerted the vet’s office, and...
Steve Friskup’s Three Main Topics
In an earlier blog we talked about having three main topics in life (The Three Main Topics, April 7, 2010). Steve Friskup could tell you his three without missing a beat: roping, riding, and religion, not necessarily in that order. Well, family would sneak in there,...
Welcome to Garage Sale Central!
The time had come to deal with all the stuff we had culled and moved out of the house for the remodeling project. And while we were at it, I decided to tackle the mounds of forgotten treasures in the attic and in my side of the barn. Oh, and don’t forget the...
