In a little over a year, Kimball and I went from no grandchildren to four. At straight up 12 noon Monday, Sept. 9, grandbaby No. 4 made such a quick appearance that his daddy, Cain Gilfoil, who was eating lunch, almost missed it. Snider Cain’s due date was supposed to be Sept. 8, his daddy’s

I was ready to moan about holidays, particularly Monday holidays, which give us fits at the newspaper. It’s even worse now that we’ve gone to a Monday deadline. Then I got in touch with the Bulldog Athletic Director Jeremy Barger and he had the new head football coach, Kelley Beckner, call me. When Coach Beckner

I spent a couple of days by myself and didn’t get in much trouble. Davis accompanied Kimball to Shreveport to attend her brother’s funeral. Davis got a hero’s welcome home Saturday evening from his daughter, Reese, who adores her daddy. OK, he got a big welcome home, too, from Erica, but she can put it

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.

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
