Back To Our Regularly Scheduled Program

July 10, 2007

Whew! I put together some pages today to help me keep track of updates for Share A Square. NO, I haven’t had time yet to actually update, so don’t y’all go sassing me, even if you are on the SASS BLOGROLL. If you aren’t on it, you need to let me know that, don’t you? [...]

Share A Square Ongoing Update Page

July 10, 2007

Squares have been coming in like crazy the last few days: This is what tumbled out of the box that was sent by Yellow Rose’s Garden. Sherry, you’ve been a crocheting fool! I love it, and I hope your father-in-law is better. To have done all this while you were having to deal with his [...]

The Power of Schmooze

July 8, 2007

Whoot! “I’m bona fide!” Sandee, over at Comedy Plus, gave me an award for “schmoozing” ability. I now officially have the power of schmooze! For a person who spent most of her life being considered “shy,” this award is an honor (and a surprise) indeed! Thank you, Sandee. I consider you a schmoozer of great [...]

Great American Race—Lewisville, Texas Edition

July 7, 2007

Vintage cars lined the streets of old town Lewisville, Texas. “Oooh”s and “Ahhh”s could be heard from the excited crowd as they milled about snapping pictures. Bustling crew members wiped every speck of road dust from the cars until they gleamed as if they were on a show room floor. The exhausted drivers in the [...]

Random Ramblings

July 6, 2007

I wish I had the opportunity to “ramble,” but without a car I’ve been stuck here at the house. Those of you who are fretting, because I don’t have the crocheted squares for Share A Square that you have sent, please don’t worry. I’ll get my mail tomorrow and post more about it. You had [...]

Battling the Element(s)

July 4, 2007

A Texas gal loves her pony. That’s a natural fact. Now, I don’t have a real horse; I don’t even have a Ford “Mustang.” The “pony” to which I refer is my Honda Element. I lovingly “feed” it, “water” it, take it out for exercise, and sometimes I even groom it. I love that car. [...]

Say It In 7

July 4, 2007

The World According to Suz (who sadly no longer blogs) had a fun writing contest going on called “Say it in 7.” You were expected to write the world’s shortest story. Rules: Each story must have only 7 words. You may, however, add a “By” followed by a fake author’s name, if it adds something [...]

Some of my blogging friends may have noticed my “absence” on their sites. I assure you that I still love you, and I will be back soon. There are several things going on in my world right now that are keeping me from being able to visit: 1) My family will be gathering at my [...]

In A Pig’s Eye

July 2, 2007

Raise your hand if you had a piggy bank when you were little. Do you still have that first piggy bank? I have mine. In fact, I have a “pig” I got before my first piggy bank and a whole slew of others as well. My Granddaddy and I walked down to his bank in [...]

A Well Bred Texan Does Not Brag

July 1, 2007

At the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show and Rodeo many years ago, I met a long lanky man in a cowboy hat. His crisp white shirt was starched, his jeans were pressed, and his boots were made of ostrich skin, but they were “working boots.” When we were introduced, he shook my hand and smiled [...]
