Kerry appreciates the simple things on a recent lake outing.
I have inquisitively jumped into this newfangled app called ChatGPT.
As the owner of a flag company with locations in both Arkansas and Florida, I recently sent a letter to…
This is definitely a selfish thing to wish on somebody, but I can’t wait ‘til Elon Musk goes deaf.
Wait – What???
Let me explain …
The passing of my father-in-law, Grady Lee McCoy, Jr. on July 3rd has brought with it a wave of emotions and a long list of decision making. Thankfully, husband Grady’s father had done some Estate Planning, that was nice and incredibly helpful. However, he hadn’t done a lot of funeral planning…

I can’t say I have always agreed with our local newspaper, The Arkansas Democrat Gazette. During Little Rock’s famous newspaper war of the ‘80s, I was impressed by the Democrat, a conservative afternoon newspaper, and their tenacity in fighting the Gazette, the Gannett-owned corporate giant.
So often I think of the Royals as fodder for the tabloids.

On that day, the people of Great Britain were united, gracious, and courteous as thousands of peaceful onlookers fell silent in respect and reverence for their Queen and their country.

Unlike the winter of 2021 when Arkansas had a rare 14-inch snowstorm, this past week we had a typical winter accumulation of 4–6 inches.
Besides finding out my melanoma was stage one and confined to only my nose, the second-best Christmas gift I got this year was a new puppy.
The Dallas Cowboys football team is about as close to a pro sports team as Arkansas gets. We Arkansans relate to them because their current owner, Jerry Jones, and their former coach, Jimmy Johnson, both harken from Arkansas. And their alma mater, the U of A, is a feeder school for the team’s new recruits.
From the looks of things in our Miami sewing department, cruise ships are back in business.
Not to be part of the sheeple, but if everybody else is, I guess I, too, must weigh in on the Smith/Rock altercation at the Oscars.
