No, I’m not talking about your in-laws, although you may be spending some time with them soon. (I certainly will. And that’s a Good Thing.) We’re now less than 170 hours until the annual contest to see who can get their tryptophan coma on first. Of course, if excess dressing, gravy, mashed and sweet [...]
Today is National Pickle Day! Have you hugged a juicy dill pickle yet? Well, it’s about time… Okay, not just dills, although those are my favorite. (I was weaned on a dill pickle.) If you’re a gherkin jerker, then get the jar out! Giardiniera is pickled too; don’t forget that! Maybe you don’t care for pickles [...]
Sunday afternoon we all convened at the Thiebaud Auditorium (in beautiful, downtown Lamar) for the Big Event. And I mean ALL. Over 110 folks, or nearly everybody who’s anybody in Barton County, MO (and for miles around). At least five generations were represented, including a small army several of my cousins of all degrees [...] Nobody really knows Arthur Guinness’ birthday.

Nothing much going on here except the heat; 105° F today in the backyard. The weatherman’s teasing us with rain chances mid-week, which I’m sure they’ll pull away at the last minute, like Lucy taking away the football before Charlie can launch the game-winning field goal through the uprights. Oh well; maybe they figure [...]
Yes, it’s already May. (Wasn’t it just last week that we were eating leftover Christmas ham?) Spring has sprung, for most of us. Today signals the middle of the season (cross-quarter day), much as Groundhog Day marks the passing of the middle of winter. It’s traditionally a day of celebration for workers; it’s even [...] |
