How about some happiness quotes to lift the mid-week blahs? I don’t really have mid-week blahs, but I’ve heard some people say they do. One thing sure I won’t next week since my twin grandbaby boys should have discovered a bright new world by then. If I can get on line I’ll let you know their names. If Mom and …
The Outsider is Launched
Hey, everybody. Here it is Sunday again. Another week passed by and the calendar turned over to August. Has anybody told you how many days it is till Christmas? Well, don’t expect me to talk about Christmas shopping in August! I do well to Christmas shop in December, although the way my family is growing, I should think about Christmas …
A Hallelujah Story and Proverbs to Live By
Hi, my book, The Outsider, is officially released Friday, but some people have already gotten it and read it. The beautiful young model on the cover is one of those and thank goodness she enjoyed the story. Her mom says she may read it again. I guess that is the supreme compliment a writer can get – for someone to …
A New Book in the Mail
Another busy Saturday with an even busier Sunday coming up – maybe. The Sunday School kids couldn’t make it for the Panther Rock walk last week, so maybe they’ll want to go this week. It’s a good thing we didn’t go last week because we had a gully washer about 3 p.m. We’d have been way down the creek by …
And the Winner Is..
I went bookstore visiting Monday since I was in Lexington for an appointment anyway. You know with gas prices you can’t just go somewhere without two or three good reasons, can you? Anyway my new book, The Outsider, was already on the shelves in a couple of stores. That was good. What’s not so good is that I still don’t …
Picking Blackberries and Other Berry Picking Stories
It’s Saturday night and I’m bushed. I usually don’t sign on to let you know what’s going on in my life out here on the farm until Sunday, but tomorrow promises to be one of those days when there’s no time for blog reflections. The guys are singing at the Mercer County Fair in Harrodsburg tomorrow night, so I’m hoping …
Enjoy your Summer Days
Here are those rest and relaxation in the middle of summer time quotes I promised. “Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” – Sir John Lubbock …
A Loving Church Family
Hi, everybody. Here it is Sunday again. Do you ever feel like the weeks are only three days long instead of seven? I know one thing – I try to shoehorn in about ten days of work into those seven days and it’s going to get worse for me before it gets better on the work front. The garden is …
A Good-bye Tribute to Hank and Other Good Dogs
We just got home from helping our daughter-in-law and grandkids bury their dog, Hank. He was 16 years old and my daughter-in-law found him as a stray before she and my son got married. My son is away on business and last night something happened to Hank and he couldn’t walk right this morning. Probably a brain tumor or a …
Independence Day Weekend – God Bless America!
Hi everybody. Hope you had a great Fourth of July with picnics and fireworks and fun as you celebrated our nation’s freedom. In our church bulletin today I put a quote from Pearl S. Buck “None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascination power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.” And that’s …
