Mud or Not?

What You Say?

When I was in my mid-teens we lived in De Queen, Arkansas. A small town without many touristy sites. One weekend family friends came to visit and since there were not many sights to see, my parents decided we would all drive into Oklahoma for...

Daisy, Daisy

This is Daisy. She’s a mid-size full-blood Yorkshire Terrier with all the grit and guts of her breed. Back when the economy was good, I took my first full check that was not designated toward a bill and bought her. She was a tiny, tiny...

Small Pleasures

I’ve been busy — still unpacking and cleaning and working and, well doing all the things I have to do. If I don’t do them myself, then they kind of don’t get done….. That means I haven’t been able to post for a few days....
