Regular readers will know that my husband is a golf lover. He played in another tournament this weekend and the highlight of the fun weekend was the dance held on Saturday night. It was the 12th Annual Todd Alan Simpson Memorial Golf Tournament with proceeds going to endow scholarships annually

I taught school for 12 years, way back there before cell phones. There were plenty of distractions even then. In the "Dear Abby" column in the newspaper this morning a young girl was complaining about her fellow student's phones. They were supposed to be turned off in classes. How'd the kids s

Right in the midst of downtown Searcy we have this little park that has been decorated. It is between two buildings in what was a little parking area. The city has come in and painted murals on the back wall. I have always loved murals. It fascinates me that they can be so accurate from a dis

A month ago I wrote about my husband's four-tomato-plant garden. Since he is a retired seeming-full-time golfer, that's all he had time to do. I thought he was crazy when he put hair on the tomato plants. And for you not to think I'm crazy, you have to go back and read that blog. It's a conti

I posted this blog a short month or so ago and it closed yesterday. A new person coming to town bought it for cash. He has to like old houses with charm! I also wrote a blog about the perfect offer that I couldn't believe was true. Good listings and good sales like this one make up for the fr
