Only The Good. It’s A Dog’s Life

September 11, 2007

When I saw this dog on the back of the truck at a gas station in Oklahoma, my first thought was, “Danger!” The dog could fall off the truck, harming himself or causing a wreck. But, this is a farm dog; and an obviously happy farm dog, as evidenced by the twinkle in his eye [...]

Manic Monday–Dear Abby, I’m Clueless

September 10, 2007

It’s Manic Monday over at Mo’s It’s A Blog Eat Blog World. Each week, Mo gives us a “theme word,” and we write a post from that. The word this week is “clue.” I’ve been pondering it. I’ve started a new writing contest this week, and I have no clue why people aren’t jumping in [...]

The “Doodlebug Caper”

September 9, 2007

I was not surprised to see that the “Roly Poly Sandwich Shop” in our town didn’t stay in business very long. With a name like “Roly Poly?” For many people that brings to mind the word “fat,” and in a society with severe phatphobia, few people would have the self-confidence to walk in the door [...]

Wishful Thinking

September 7, 2007

In Japan, I’m told, it is believed that if one folds 1,000 origami paper cranes then one’s greatest wish will be granted. I don’t know if that is true. I believe it’s just wishful thinking. However, a person with an aching heart will grasp and claw and cling to any hope. A hundred apologies, for [...]

Ripped From The Headlines

September 7, 2007

I was perusing my Denton Record Chronicle while I drank my morning coffee. Some people may prefer their news on the internet or the television, but I am a die-hard fan of the daily newspaper. It’s how I know the important things that are going on in the world. You know, like: what’s happening in [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 26. Scattered

September 6, 2007

I can’t concentrate, so this Thursday Thirteen will be all over the map. Usually, I take great pains to put together something silly, but today I’m just going with the flow, because I’m 1. Get cool letters with Spell With Flickr. They were much too large for this page, so I copied them into Adobe [...]

Share A Square September Update Page

September 5, 2007

Y’all have been waiting very patiently, and I thank you for that. I’ve been as busy as a one-armed woman saddling a horse, and a lot is getting done. On Tuesdays, I crochet with the Senior Center Needlework Group here in Denton, and on Wednesdays I drive to Roanoke to crochet with another needlework group. [...]

Only The Good—It’s For The Birds

September 5, 2007

We had been driving around town looking for garish yard decorations to photograph. I don’t know why. I think I wanted to poke fun at them, because sometimes I’m just ornery. We saw these birdhouses, and I shrieked, “Stop the car!” My first thought when I saw this yard was, “Whooo Doggies! I bet they [...]

Please Don’t Bring Me Flowers, Honey

September 4, 2007

We watched the man strutting across the parking lot carrying a huge flower bouquet in his hands. You could tell that man was quite satisfied with himself, because he was grinning like a small dog with a big bone. My husband is a wonderful man, who rarely ever thinks to buy me flowers. That type [...]

Manic Monday. Labor of Love

September 3, 2007

Since June 14th, 2007, many people have been laboring with love. They have been making six inch crocheted or knitted squares to put into afghans for children at Camp Sanguinity Cancer Camp next summer (2008). Others have been stitching these into beautiful afghans to bring comfort to those children, and let each child know that [...]

Karma or “Cartma?”

September 1, 2007

The parking lot of the grocery store was crowded, but near the entrance was an empty space calling my name. There was a shiny black Lexus parked to the left of that space, and an older woman (about my age) was loading her groceries from her cart to the car. Now, that woman saw me [...]
