Here’s a slide show Josie, the photographer, sent of selected shots from the day. Click “gallery” and then “Grace & Curtis.” Just for fun Josie also set up a “photo booth” beside the picnic shelter, with a remote clicker so guests could pose and snap photos throughout the day. Here are the very humorous results. […]

Impressive Latin-esque title, I know. (Warning: Don’t try this at home. I am a professional writer and have experience making up words in various languages.) But I’m getting ahead of myself. My fun friend, Tina (locally famous for her spaghetti pie recipe), tagged me, and the first rule of the game is to post the

In the February 10th issue of World Magazine, Susan Olasky used the regular Spotlight space to highlight internet sources for useful book recommendations. She provided URLs for eight sites, and one of them is The Master’s Artist, the group author blog where I post on alternating Thursdays. Susan also provided a link to fellow Master’s

Last night George and I had brownies with vanilla ice-cream, fudge sauce, and fresh peaches for dessert. It was yummy, but the biggest treat was sharing it with Katelyn and her grandmother. Faithful, long-time readers of this journal will (probably not) recall this story I wrote back in 2003 about Katelyn and Luke when they

It’s carnival time, which means you get to throw three balls at this post and try to knock it over. (Ouch! Hey, watch the aim, mister!) Oh, you sillies. It’s not that kind of carnival. This is a Carnival of Beauty. (Just typing that phrase makes me laugh. “Yeth, my friendth, behold my amathing lovelineth
If you’re local (and by local, I mean you live somewhere on or within a several day’s journey of one of the seven major continents), I want to invite you to come see the musical She Loves Me at East Texas Baptist University this Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and/or Sunday. I’m serious. Call and reserve your
The latest games of tag have come to ElleZymnVille. Here’s how it happened. There I am on the cyber playground, minding my own business, scouting the dandelion patch for hooky-playing fairies, and up runs little Mikey Snyder. “Tag!” he shouts, poking me with the same finger he’d just had up his nose, which would be
