When Lexington Walters rescued Amanda Cauble from the rain swollen creek in Destiny's Bridge, little did she suspect that after ten years, they would have built a life together on the RockingW Ranch, complete with 3 kids, a horse named "Mine" and Freckles, the rat terrier. Amanda writes about the activities and foibles of the Walters clan, and how, through all their years and life challenges, they are bound more than ever by the love they share.

Out Of The Mouth Of Babes

You know that Lex can find a mud hole in a draught, right? Well that’s exactly what happened. With no new rain, every decayed and decaying piece of organic matter that could stink things up created a stench from hell. This time, she managed to twist her ankle going into the mud hole, and strain her...

Our Fifteen Minutes of Fame

A middle-aged woman with short hair and glasses stood as we entered the café and motioned us over. How she figured out it was us, I have no idea. Maybe it was because the café’s server, Francine met us with, “Hey, Lex. You sure a lookin’ good, honey. Manda, that gal of yours better appreciate you a...

What’s A Little Finger Paint Among Friends?

After a few years being childbirth free, Somerville finally had a run at the hospital about a year or so ago and now there are a whole new batch of offspring to care for. You can imagine the relief when a new child care center opened in town. The old one at the church was unused and in disrepair...

Nook Nook – Who’s There?

Lex is very indulgent of my penchant for discovering geeky toys that I must own and have needed all my life because, since closing the real estate business, I’ve discovered that I really am a computer addict.

For Old Time’s Sake

Lex tugged on her boots and waterproof duster. Then she put her gloves and black cowboy hat on. Have I ever mentioned how incredibly sexy she looks in her black cowboy hat? Can you imagine how my hormones went crazy the first time my eyes focused on her after she pulled me out of my Mustang when t...

The Giggle Twins Cafe

Lex and the girls came bursting through the door.  Their faces were red and they were all laughing. “Sounds like you’ve had a good time.”  I helped them off with their coats and patted each one on the face. “Brr, you’re cold.” “We’re fine, honl” Lex picked up Eddie who had toddled over to her [...]

A Gift That Keeps On Giving

“What do you think, Amanda?” I played with the flap on the back of Lex’s Forever Lazy Adult One-Piece PJ’s and hummed a little bit.

Like Mother, Like Daughter – Virtual Genetics and Dinner Don’t Mix

“You know, Lorrie, the food is all going to go to the same place.” “Eyewww, Mom! Not while I’m eating.” I heard Lex snickering while she wiped Eddie’s face with a washcloth. “And what’s so funny?” Lex beamed with pride, “She’s just like I was as a kid.” “Was?” I pointed to her plate and [...]

Jeannie’s Second Chance

I love my sister. I really do. As siblings, we were childhood playmates and tattle tales. As teenagers, we were each other’s confidants and rivals. We have an unspoken bond that says no matter how stupid the idea, no matter how many times we try the same thing to the same disastrous end, we will de...

Mrs. Carlson’s Worst Day

We pulled up into the school parking lot and noticed that several of the teachers’ cars were gone. This was normal since it was already 90 minutes since school let out. Lights were on in some of the classrooms, so we figured that Mrs. Carlson was waiting for us in her room.  We left all [...]
