Spring turkey season started Monday morning without Davis and me. I didn’t feel like walking, he thought it was too cold. That, and he broke a spring on his shotgun a year ago and didn’t bother to have it fixed. A lot of years ago I didn’t have a turkey gun or more than one

You can learn a lot about medicine from doctor shows. And in my case, I always preface my diagnosis with “I’m practicing without a license.” Y’all know that Kenny has spent a lot of time in the hospital and he just finished a three week Medical “incarceration” – First week at CCMH, second week at

I went to the Fine Arts Gala Friday Night. Kathie Truitt looked great in her long pink tutu. After viewing the artwork, I sat down and had more than my share of hors d’oeuvres. It was a lovely evening and once again y’all should have been there. You probably would have known more people there

It just occurred to me that maybe I should clarify a statement I wrote last week. I said an animal lives with me. I hope everyone knew I meant Caddee. Speaking of said animal, I have been told not to let Caddee outside if there is a possum in the neighborhood. Well, you know possums.

  Monday, Feb. 21, wasn’t the best of days. Presidents’ Day closes down banks and sources of useful information like schools and post offices. I always seem to want to know something when there is no one around to answer my questions.   Feb. 21 was also the day that Kenny’s computer died. Kaput, over

From the list in the St. Clair County Courier, it looks like most Southwest Missouri fire departments were hauling water to fight the Osceola fire. I find comfort in that. If we ever have a big fire downtown…again and we will, there’s help in nearby towns. I’ve seen photos of solid sheets of ice from
