I was invited to join my parents at a fish fry in Coffman, Missouri in another family’s large shed/garage/barn. Inside the barn, we listened to the men recount the day’s deer hunting adventures while we ate fried blue gill, potatoes and macaroni & cheese. I sipped a Bud Light Wheat; a fire burned in the woodstove; and antelope, [...] Bee Tree Park 1, photo by smalltowngirl I spent my Sunday tooling around South County St. Louis in a convertible, taking in the sunshine and enjoying good company. After a great omelet and coffee and First Watch, we headed to Bee Tree Park to get some exercise.

The trellice you see in the photo is for the [...] One of the best parts of living back in Small Town, Missouri is having a dog again. I love New York City, but a 200 square-foot apartment is no place for a dog to live. Today was my family dog’s monthly grooming appointment. Each time she’s groomed, she comes home in a new bandana with bows in [...] On Friday night, I went to my first Relay for Life in ten years or so. My week was lousy. Work was indescribably stressful, and by Friday night I was ready for a stiff drink or a little bit of self-pity. When my friend Mandi called to invite me to Relay, I have to admit, it [...] |
