More Tales From School
Well, sure enough, after the last Tales from School, I did think of more things that made me smile at school. Where to start? How about the time I had the Burmese python visit my leadership class? We got to talking about things that some of the kids had never done,...
Mules 26-Roosevelt 13
Another great night for football; another win for the Mules. I traveled to the far side of Lubbock all by myself, as Bill had to be gone, and Colten went with one of his friends-imagine that, a 17-year old choosing a 17-year old friend over his grandmother! But...
Tales From School
Funny stuff happens in classrooms and schools everywhere every year. Teachers fail to write down those funny things everywhere every year. I’m one of those teachers. We foolishly think we will remember all those funny stories. And of course we don’t. But I was able to...
I Wish I’d Said That
I am still dealing with boxes of stuff packed away for the house remodeling and then boxes left over from the garage sale. Last night I was sorting through yet one more of those boxes and came across a little book titled The Quotable Woman. All progress stopped as I...
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…
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 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...
