Kimball is going to make one of those trips you never want to make. She’s going to help her sister-in-law bury her brother’s ashes. Sad time in Shreve’s Burg. Adrian would be a big help but she is too great with child to make the trip from Baton Rouge. I haven’t been told if I’m

I mentioned in the cutline for a copperhead that you never know when or where one will show up.  Same with bad news. Sunday afternoon about 4, Kimball and I had just gotten home from the 148th homecoming at Concord Missionary Baptist Church and after the delicious carry-in dinner doubted that we would ever be

Had a phone call Monday from a lady in Stockton wanting me to check on the Kevin Costello case. She said wild rumors are flying down there about what happened to Kevin and why. You remember, of course, that someone followed him out of Stockton north, then passed him, then blocked the road. When he

I almost always open my emails from Derrill Price III to see his latest facebook post. The one I got today said, “Sir, If I am to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.” – I was pleasantly surprised by some of the people who wrote letters this week, just common folks who have

Adrian did show her Southern side during the Picnic. One of her friends commented on how humid it was. Adrian said, “It’s not humid.” One year during the summer, Kimball and I were up here from Shreveport and I helped Dad in the hay. He thought it was humid. I didn’t. I set my alarm

Picnic comin’. There’s a big ol’ Carnival semi and trailer parked on the north side of our building. Monday morning, Rhonda Friar was guiding a tour of two of her grandkids to find dragons the little grandson had seen. He could tell you how many were blue, green, red – the usual dragon colors. Adrian

I don’t have a long list of things to tell you which can be dangerous. The best news I have is that Davis, Erica, Ben and Reese have moved from Nevada to El Dorado Springs. Reese, at four months old can recognize people. Erica said that when Reese turned two months old she decided that

Kimball reminded me to tell you it is our 40th anniversary of being owned by the Sun. – Last Tuesday, I interviewed the new doctor in town, Dr. Andrew Wyant MD. Kimball and I met him and his wife, Krystal, and their three kids at the hospital cake and ice cream social but didn’t get

Another of the “landmarks” from my childhood is gone. This week we have the obituary of Marjorie Fields. Virtually all of my life, I heard Grandma Boultinghouse mention her and her husband, Raymond, as being her neighbors to the south. I either didn’t listen well or Grandma just called her Margie. I later got to

Brad and Mary have finished their move, if not their unpacking. For the last few weeks they have been downsizing. They got an offer they couldn’t refuse so that a daughter and her family could live just down the street from Grandma and Grandpa. I don’t know what it is about moving that brings out
