It’s been quite a while since I’ve updated you on my ongoing barn project, mostly because it’s been too hot to do much of anything outside this summer, and because I’ve been busy with other things. But one of my priorities was to get a door put on the back of the barn. After our […]
I received an e-mail from a reader yesterday asking me why I would use my blog to promote other authors and their books, as I did in Thursday’s blog, New Mysteries For You. He asked what was in it for me to promote the competition. Here’s the thing. Other authors are not my competition. I […]
They say that laughter is the best medicine, and if that’s true, I think Terry and I might live forever. We definitely have done a lot of laughing in our 27 years together and I absolutely love hearing her laugh. Yesterday morning we were playing magnetic chess, a fun little game I told you about in […]
Yesterday was another busy day for us out in the humid heat of an Alabama summer. I had an appointment with Doctor Thom, my urologist, to go over the results of the CT scan I had on Monday. As I said in yesterday’s blog, years ago a nodule was found on my left kidney, and […]

Note: This is an updated post of a blog from Christmas Eve day 2015 that I thought was just as appropriate this year, too. Miss Terry is a difficult woman to shop for because she doesn’t want very much in the way of material things. Whenever I ask her what she wants for Christmas, her […]
Blog reader Randy McRae sent me an email yesterday asking me why there was no free drawing this week. Randy thought it was because of the holiday, but the truth is I goofed and just completely forgot about it. Sorry about that. I’ll get back on track for next week. This last week was really […]
Miss Terry is a difficult woman to shop for because she doesn’t want very much in the way of material things. Whenever I ask her what she wants for Christmas, her birthday, our anniversary, or whatever, she always says she has everything she wants. Once in a while, she’ll let me buy her a bottle of […]
