A Lulu of a tale

-

Did you know you can self publish books on a site called Lulu It is a print on demand company, so it is free. You can create and publish your own paperbacks, hardcovers, photobooks, calendars, cookbooks and more. You will have to promote them of course, but what fun ! I am currently working on three pieces of my own, a childrens book, a tongue in cheek murder mystery, and a coffee table book of victorian women and horses with quotes and poetry. I'll post again with more detail on them when they are finished. Check the site out and create your own family photo book, that novel you always said you would write, or whatever story you were born to tell. Go, go now - get off of here and tell your lulu of a tale !!!

    My sister would be so into doing this! She has wanted to publish a book since she was a young girl! I would also, but am not a good writer!
    Thank you for stopping by my blog! I am going to have to go check out your Etsy shop!

    Good luck with the books they sound wonderful, I love the vintage pictures, they will be winners for sure.
    I've often thought of trying to do similiar, but never been brave enough yet.
    Thank you so much for the caring thoughts you left about my dear Poppy, I appreciated them, and cling on to the wisdom. Lindax

Belle Starr's Grave

" Well behaved women rarely make history." *** Her grave as it is today *** I made the trip to Eufaula Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago for a family get together. I was going to visit the grave site of Belle Starr on this trip, but read up on the burial location before going. The site is rather run down, on private property and on a dead end road. You have to rustle up the owners and tramp through an unkempt weedy trail. The original stone has been removed or is gone from what I understand, so I decided not to go. I find this disheartening, that a well known historical figure, albeit outlaw, from the old west does not have a more revered grave site. I think the sad fact is, most of the famous people we know from that time have also been left in obscure places and have faded away, forgotten. ***Her grave as it was originally*** Belle Starr was "The Bandit Queen," associated with Jesse James and the Youngers. She once made the comment to a newspaper reporter -" I ...

Amarillo by afternoon.....

Do you ever, on the spur of the moment hop in your vehicle and head to parts unknown ? This past Saturday my girlfriend and I did just that and headed west to Amarillo Texas. Neither of us knew what was there, and upon arriving decided "nothing" was. We looked for the old part of Amarillo, but just found the undesirable part of Amarillo. We were just about to turn around and head back home. We were hungry and a bit disappointed. We saw two policeman talking beside their vehicles so we pulled up and asked them where the "coolest " place in Amarillo was. One of them just laughed and the other looked up towards the sky with a grimace on his face. Meaning, there was no "coolest " place in Amarillo. He told us about the place where if you can eat the 72 ounce stak and all the fixins that come with it you get it free. Her and I put together weigh exactly 251 lbs and I don't eat meat. We explained we wanted the old part, the district with fun shops and the l...
