Mules 63-Andrews 34

Mules 63-Andrews 34

Fall weather finally kicked in, homecoming was celebrated, and Muleshoe and Andrews traded touchdowns to the obnoxious blarings of air horns on steroids to a 63-34 finale. These stupid air horns had a heyday, what with all the scoring giving them way too many...

You Might Live in a Small West Texas Town…

You Might Live in a Small West Texas Town…

I suspect you are familiar with Jeff Foxworthy's You might be a Redneck comedy routine, and now he has taken it a step further with You may live  in Texas, which it was forwarded to me in an email recently. I could relate to all of his scenarios, but a few really hit...

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

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

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

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

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

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...
