“That girl is really legged up,” is the comment that caught my attention. I was just sitting there relaxing when those words unexpectedly came out of the person across from me, and it of course made me take a small peek out of the corner of one eye. Being married, I couldn’t use both. Now if you’re a man, wouldn’t that remark have made you just a little teeny bit curious? Don’t even try to deny it. What in the world does a “legged up” girl look like anyway? If you are a woman, you would instantly have been jealous of course and would have turned your nose straight up in the air. Kind of like Lucy used to do when Desi would sneak a look at one of his dancing cha-cha girls.

Books: ''Riptide''
by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child
|
|
Published: 1998; Pages: 417; Rating: Good
This is a nice science fiction book with a historical background based upon an actual missing treasure. No doubt about it. Have you ever heard of Oak Island and the lost treasure? I have seen mention of it in various Readers Digest magazines as an interesting story and come across it in other odd and end places. In fact there was a show on either the Discovery Channel or the History Channel a while back that covered all the various expeditions that attempted to find this mythical buried treasure.

Books: ''Angels & Demons''
by Dan Brown
|
|
Published: 2000; Pages: 572; Rating: Great
“Angels & Demons” was a book actually written before the mammoth bestseller, “The Da Vinci Code.” As so often happens with a new author, his second book became his breakout book and thus led his new readers to go back and read his first book. It was the same thing that happened with John Grisham when he first broke out of the pack and became a big time author. Remember his book “The Firm” that became a huge bestseller, but it was his second one. His first book was “A Time To Kill” which did not sell well until all ‘The Firm” readers went back and read it. In fact, they later made both of these books into movies.

Business: New Self Service Gas Station At Corsicana Brookshires
|
|
randallh writes "There will be a new self service gas station at the Corsicana Brookshires Grocery Store. The store has been renovated and they have just started work on the new gas station which is behind the current Brookshires store on North 13th. That will be good for Brookshires customers. I'm glad they are here. As you know, Brookshires opened the new Ole Grocery Store on 15th street a week ago. Both are great stores for this area."

Books: ''The Da Vinci Code''
by Dan Brown

|
Published: 2003; Pages: 454; Rating: Great
Fantastic book and full of historical references that for some reason appear to be left out of our mainstream history books? Is there a conspiracy here? Are there descendents of Jesus Christ roaming the world as a result of a union with Mary Magdalene? What happened to the Holy Grail? Was Mary Magdalene sitting right beside Jesus in the Da Vinci painting "The Last Supper?"

randallh writes "Last Sunday night I saw a wonderful two hour movie with John Goodman, Holly Hunter, and Richard Dreyfuss. It's about a guy who flies planes to put out forest fires. It will make you laugh and cry at the same time too. Brad Johnson, a Lewisville, Texas native, is also very good in this great movie. It will teach you lessons about love and life. I highly recommend this movie."

BD "Ivey" went on to greener pastures in July, 2004.
He came into Jim Bob Ivey's life in 1987. He was a faithful companion for 17 years. He and Jim Bob went on many trail rides in the 17 years they were together. When they were not on a trail ride they just enjoyed "horsing around together."
We will miss him, but we know he is happy on that great and final trail ride in the sky.

Books: ''Mind Catcher''
by John Darnton

Published: 2002; Pages: 387; Rating: Good
This is a pretty good science fiction book and it did not even have any monsters in it. If you like computers, high technology, leading edge medical experiments, good guys and bad guys, then you might like this one. It has a bit of all plus a few other odds and ends including a brief bit of mountain climbing.

I had the opportunity to attend a surprise birthday party for a good friend of mine last week. He is one of the grand old fella’s of Kerens, married to a first class Cajun cook that makes me gain a pound every time I see her, and a classmate of my father’s at Kerens High School. The party was also held at a restaurant that is brand new in this area that we have been hearing rumors about for several months now. A double bonus! Many of you may have not had the chance or time to visit this place yet, so I wanted to tell you about it.

Books: ''Angels Flight''
by Michael Connelly
|
|
Published: 1999; Pages: 393; Rating: Good
Harry Bosch, he is the man and no doubt about it. This guy is one of, if not the best, repeating character I know of in our current selection of mystery writers. He is classic in his own time and over the years the guy may stand out even more. No superpowers does he have. He is not a millionaire and does not have all the women hanging all over him, as most men without light shoes would like to have. He does not beat up everyone and he is not smarter than everyone either. So what makes him so interesting in these mystery books?

randallh writes "Corsicana hopefully will get a new company that will include 500 new jobs and include a 12 millon dollar payroll. Corsicana is in the running along with a few other Texas cities. It would be great if they choose here."

Books: ''The Corrections''
by Jonathan Franzen
|
|
Published: 2002; Pages: 592; Rating: Boring
This book was almost 600 pages long and all but the last 50 pages were horribly boring. It slowly follows the trails of various family members who are all on individual paths and locations. The mother is having to deal with a husband in his final years and is suffering from dementia, memory loss, and general weakness that keeps him from functioning normally. The kids are living away in other cities and do not see directly what the mom is having to go through each day in an attempt to lead a normal life.
