Given the fact we live less than 3 miles from the beautiful Neches River, I’m sorry to say we only visit it 2 or 3 times a year, at best. This particular Sunday morning, we ran lines. It was about 7:15 and as soon as we crossed under the Highway 84 bridge, we noticed a…
Hello Peeps! The Texas heat has been brutal, 106 the past few days and I’ve lost one hen to the temp’s already. So my family and I decided it would do us good to cool off a bit at a friends houseboat in Kentucky. We drove then walked, boated and floated about for a weekend.…
When I was growing up there was only 1 real way to have your photograph taken while on vacation. Ask a nearby, fellow tourist to take up your film bearing device and snap a shot. If you were lucky it would turn out halfway decent. A bit later in life, there came along the timer…
If you are searching for a really good idea, go fishing. Fishing won’t help you find an idea necessarily but is simply a good idea in itself. Especially when you have cute companions. The lake was still and the fish weren’t biting but that didn’t matter so much….. The mosquitoes were blissfully absent and while…
My mom has a picture of me when I was about 6 years old, riding my dad’s Harley with him. That was the coolest I’ve ever been and the pinnacle of my biker days. Except for a brief period in my early 20’s when I found myself in possession of a “crotch rocket” I couldn’t…
All through the South folks anxiously wait the entire winter long for crawfish season to start. And when it does you can bet there isn’t a mudbug safe from here to Atlanta! We have at least 2 boils every spring and this year my husband decided he wanted to go all out and host a…
I get a kick out of people who are afraid to let their kids get dirty. Now, I’m not saying you should let them lick the grocery cart handle, but a little honest mud (you know, dirt and water), never hurt anybody. Yes, one in a million catch some weird, awful, unheard of mud disease…
So the ‘fun’ didn’t really happen on a Friday, it happened on a Wednesday but whatever. I had to travel 50 miles to work several hours and I knew the day would be slow and drag on forevermore if I didn’t bring an activity for Addie and me. I decided we should paint so paint…
Some things get worse with age. Onions, potatoes, garlic, computers, grey hair, flab, swimming pools and Wal-Mart’s. Just to name a few. Other things get better with age. Wine, certain cheeses, men, movies (with Hugh Jackman, Robert Redford, Julia Andrews, Charlton Heston and Meryl Streep. Obviously, not all on the same film), books and true…
Since I introduced y’all to Rachel the calf last week she has experienced drama, love and fine cuisine as well as making several friends. A well-rounded first week of life if you ask me. Addie, Gus, Rob and I were her first friends. Then the chickens joined in the fun. Unfortunately our dog, Nosey, did…
