Remembering My Father

November 2, 2026 by ElleJames Leave a Comment

Today would have been my father’s 90th birthday. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad! I miss you so much. Your quiet strength, good heart, and the way you loved us and our mother.

My father grew up on a farm in southern Arkansas, picking cotton as soon as he could drag a bag behind him. As one of nineteen children, he had a hard life and didn’t have much money. He played football for the Gurdon GoDevils alongside his brothers, cousins, and friends.

At 17, he joined the US Air Force and left home to see the world, from Spokane, Washington, where he met my mother, to Montana, California, and Texas, not to mention exotic places like Guam, Okinawa, and Thailand.

When he retired from the Air Force, he came home to Arkansas, had his forty acres in the country, and worked for the US Postal Service. He had a good, full life.

He was a quiet man with a very dry sense of humor, and he would do anything for his family. He’s the man I measure all men by.

Love you so much, Dad!

My Canine Companions Serving Double Duty

October 28, 2026 by ElleJames Leave a Comment

My muses are my sweet puppers, Bandit and Charli. If you have pets, you know how much joy and love they give. You also know how much work it takes to care for them.

Mine are Yorkies. Charli is a traditional Yorkie; she’s all silver and tan and a complete diva! Bandit is a parti Yorkie, and he’s brown and white, a complete cuddle bug.

This breed requires regular trips to what I call the poo-parlor for grooming. They come back freshly trimmed and smelling so good.

They like to sit by me while I’m writing. Thankfully, I have a reclining couch that gives all three of us plenty of room. They get me up a lot during the day to let them outside, making sure I don’t sit too long.

Yorkies were bred to chase rodents into small holes. Charli and Bandit have it in their blood. For the first time in my life, a couple of rats decided my backyard was a pretty awesome place. Charli, the smaller of the two Yorkies at a chubby 8 pounds, chased them out of the bushes. Together, she and Bandit (the chubbier pup at 12 pounds) dispatched the rats.

Charli has terrorized possums twice her size and has caught a squirrel and a bunny.

Mighty hunters!

I love how patient and understanding my readers are. They’re amazing, and I love them all!
