Easter SundayEither a serious head cold, sinus infection, or spring pollen allergies weigh my head down tonight. I really don’t care which one it is, just want to get over it. If I can’t sleep tonight, even with two pillows, I’ll sit in a recliner so I can breathe through my nose and rest. We had a really delicious… click here to continue April, 16th, 2006 Winter Sneaked BackSuch a wintry day! If it weren’t for all the blossoms on the trees outside, I’d think it was November.

Because of computers, writing whatever I choose is much easier for me. The internet offers unlimited research possibilities on almost every imaginable subject. None of my books would have been possible without computers. Email has… click here to continue April, 11th, 2006 The Song is Over, But the Words Linger OnThe mystery is solved. The lines I quoted from a song yesterday are from Tennessee Ernie Ford’s hit, “Sixteen Tons.” It took the combined brain power of several of my relatives to help figure it out, but my Texan brother-in-law knew it right away. Al knew it also and managed to come up with most of the words, as… click here to continue April, 10th, 2006 |
