We needed to stock up on groceries, and since this is a home football game weekend for the University of Alabama, along with Thanksgiving coming up next week, we knew if we didn’t get to town yesterday we would regret it because the crowds would only get worse. A while back Terry and I were […]
We were up early yesterday morning because we had to be at Western Alabama Animal Hospital in Carrollton by 7:30 to drop off BeeBee and Mai Lyn, Terry’s cats, to be spayed. They are both indoor cats, so we’re not worried about them having kittens, but BeeBee has been in heat twice now and it’s […]
Yesterday Terry was busy doing a final editing on my new book, Big Lake Assault, tightening the plot a bit here and there and looking for anything that might have slipped past the several stages of proofreading. While she was doing that, I was making her last-minute corrections and changes. We will finish today, and […]
We left the Hampton Inn in Jacksonville, Florida at 8:30 yesterday morning, eager to get back home.

We were on the go all day yesterday, from the time we got out of bed until sometime close to 8 PM, when we finally managed to settle into our recliners and relax in front of the boob tube for a while. I started the day with an appointment with Doctor Rob Kent at Coastal […]
Not every story we have come across in our travels is a happy one. Some of them are downright tragic. Such was the case of Steven Stayner, a young boy from Merced, California who was kidnapped on his way home from school in 1972, at the age of seven. For seven long years the poor […]
