Dot, Bam, Crack

October 11, 2007

I believe I might have told y’all that I started blogging in order to cure my addiction to my computerized Mah Jongg Solitaire game. It didn’t entirely work. Occasionally, I see that icon on my computer and open up the game. Then, I get lost in it for a few hours. Do y’all get caught [...]

March 31, 2007

My hairdresser this morning had a first guess of Anna Nicole Smith. But, my mystery tough woman was Janis Lyn Joplin, who was raised in Port Arthur, Texas. She died in 1970 of a heroin overdose.

Everyone brought a dish of food for a “potluck” supper, after which the kids went off to watch television and play kid games and the grownups gathered at [...]
