The Exploits of “Hefer” the Cinnamon Queen.
I'm not often at a loss for words, I believe there are a number of fine folk out there that can attest to that simple statement. However, I must admit I'm just a smidge at a loss pertaining to an ol' girl soon to be known to many as "Hefer." Oh, it's a fine story... Continue Reading →
Turkey Delivery
By Michael Miller Autumn in the hills of East TN is a very special time. The smell of fresh-cut hay hangs heavy in the cool crisp air. Hills and hollers are dressed in their Sunday best; sporting vivid hues of orange, red and gold. An elegant mist hovers at tree-top level, just as a... Continue Reading →
Ahab’s real name was Wendall
Ahab...the name carry's with it a ponderous weight. Scenes of massive wooden ships under full canvas fill our noggins, if we allow ourselves the privilege, we can almost hear the overbearing Captain as he berates the lowly shipmates. With little effort we may go so far as to catch a glimpse of the massive white... Continue Reading →
The Trouble with Pink Socks
Once again I find myself apologizing; I've really let you folks down with the posts (or lack of) lately. Things have been a little hectic around the Tin Cup Clan's new domicile.

The Troublesome Red Head and his Family
David Byrge; Better known as "Stick" by most. We're gonna look at his family next, what forces came together too forge such a personality. As parents, I believe we often forget that our kids are (for lack of a better comparison), tape recorders of a sort. They spend their young lives constantly recording anything and...

It’s said; “There comes’ a point”
As a rule I do my best to keep my "self" outta the posts and excerpts. Instead, I focus on the boys, the book, life growing up in the mountains, and every now and then throw a bit of a "lesson" in the pot. But...a few things have happened since we last met forcing me... Continue Reading →
