Where Do You Go To Be Fed?
Lizzie knows to go to her food bowl at meal time. But like all of our dachshunds she places herself at my chair during mealtime because she knows I don’t always get the food from my plate to my mouth. Our dogs, like every dog I have known does not discriminate or think about where …
Gratefulness Is A Heart Condition
In the movie, “Cool Hand Luke” the Captain (Prison Wardan) asked Luke (escaped prisoner), “Have you got your mind right Luke?” But at the core of the question, it was not his mind but his heart that drove Luke’s decision to escape.

One of the main reasons I did not want to be a rice farmer was I really don’t like snakes. I have so many snake stories. One morning I counted 51 snakes in one field. That will cause a guy to be a bit jumpy. I’ve had one swim between my legs. And when you …

I Learned About Relationships At Sammie’s.
Hamburg was, and is, a small town, about 2500 souls, in southeast Arkansas. Growing up in the 60’s, the nightlife consisted of hanging out at Sammie’s, like Sonic, without carhops, and the Sunset Drive-In Theater.
