Sunday Morning Buffaloes
Ever experience that magical event that occurs when you place a yard sale sign in front of your house? The sign seems to act like a homing beacon of sorts, emitting some kind of bargain hunter attractant and suddenly, ten … Continue reading
Farewell to Soapy
Most of our Sunday had come and gone. It was a leisurely one for a change, the way God intended it, our day of rest. We had attended church that morning, come home and had a simple lunch, and then … Continue reading

Meatballs and Squirrel Jaws
It all started with the meatballs. Plump, round, rolled portions of ground beef, coated with a generous glaze of that All-American, all-purpose sauce, ketchup. Let me see now, when was that? It must have been sometime during the early years … Continue reading
