Well it looks as though my luck has changed. Check out one of the e-mails I’ve been receiving lately from a secret benefactor named Rose. I’m not sure how she knows me. But who am I to question the fortunes of fate?

On Oct. 12, 2006, the Arkansas Times blogged that I “wrote five puzzles with clues related to [my daughter’s] wedding. They were included in a new Simon and Schuster puzzle anthology that was given to members of the bridal party.”

The largest crowd to ever gather for a Walker County Chamber of Commerce membership luncheon watched Teems & Teems collect two awards in the “Best of Walker County 2009” contest earlier this month.

Realtor Lore Conway masters art of juggling family, career
Juggling a family and a career can be a trying task for anyone, especially when that career is in real estate. Yes, Realtors are notorious for having flexible schedules, but everyone in the industry knows that to be successful, an agent must work more than the traditional 40-hour workweek.

On your mark…get set…go! Christmas here we come! With the Thanksgiving Day celebration under our belts (so to say), our Christmas shopping is off to a running start! And boy, are the stores waiting for you with all their bargain prices and discounts!
The Critic's Corner
Horror fans are numb to everything scary movies have to offer. So how can a director rattle their nerves? Convince them the footage is real.
