Hitting life’s curveball

I was taking in a deep breath when I noticed how wonderful the air was. It was crisp, and light as a pastry. I was not able to enjoy it for long though. After releasing my breath, I realized where I was. Stranded on a train stop in the middle of nowhere in France.

Town Talk

Town Talk is working as quickly as we can on the mini-golf course. I know everyone is anxious. I’ve also heard from parents that their kids are asking when it will be ready. Hopefully, by the time you receive your paper this week the fence will be in place, and we can begin moving in the golf holes.

First harvest

Last night I picked enough purple and yellow snap beans to have what my grandparents would have defined as “a mess.” The yellow beans are Cherokee wax and the purples are, if I remember correctly, Purple Queen.

Anticipating Father’s Day 2021

This Sunday, June 20, is Father’s Day. It’s a day set aside to honor the fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers and greatgreat grandfathers. Indeed it’s an honor and privilege to be the father of such a wonderful young woman as our daughter Meghan is.

Appreciating life on the outside looking in

It was a simple plan. Get up. Go to Texas. Hear a rocking concert. Get up the next day and go home. I should have known the plan was too simple not to fall apart, or even crash and burn. It was June 2019, and my friend and I decided to go to a LANY concert at Stubbs Bar-B-Q in Austin, Texas.

Town Talk

A big thank you to all Town Talk volunteers who volunteered to work the Stroud Route 66 Visitor’s and Tourism office during the Wine Festival. Those volunteering were Bryan and Mary Vickery, Julie Bivin, Linda Waller and Thelma Mauldin.

Town Talk

It looks like we are finally going to have a couple of weeks of dry weather. That is good news for our mini-golf course. Plans are to level the ground this week and have the “club house” delivered by Monday. We hope to accomplish a lot with this project over the next two weeks.
