Let’s Play the Caption Game
I'll go first. "Do I have to do EVERYTHING?"
Update: What the Mighty Mississippi Did This Spring
Many of you will remember that this past spring my small town was living under the threat of a main levee break, even as water flooded over an older levee that protected a number of area farms. I wrote about it here. Sunday evening we drove out to see the damage firsthand from where the old levee gave way as work is to begin this week on filling
How Well Do You Know Sue Ellen?

In observance of Nat'l Kiss and Makeup Day, I dedicate this post to my fine Southern Mama who believed a forced peace was better than none at all.

Hey y'all, I'm peddling hard this morning to recover from the weekend trip to Houston (simply MUST finger chat that with y'all soon) and lay radio tracks, but I wanted to give y'all a sneak peak of the show this evening.
