Dear Readers,
My name is Tayla and I am Jim’s wife.  He’d mentioned me in a couple of his entries.
It’s possible that you may have already heard about Oxford’s heartbreaking loss.  If not:  Jim, the creator of this amazing site, passed away Sunday morning.  As you can see from the previous entry, Jim was hanging in [...]

So I think I missed one.  Sorry.
I’m headed to memphis tomorrow to see some doctors.  So I may not get a chance to post anything unless I get really bored in an waiting room and do so from my phone…

If you got here via Tom’s Blog you probably saw mention of this restaurant today.  Tayla went at lunchtime and got carry-out.  Delicious!

You probably thought I was going to forget about it today

Before I moved to Mississippi, I wouldn’t have believed wheelchair dogs existed.  However one time I was out north of town at the scratch & dent grocery store (is it still there?).  Heck it might’ve been next door at this little thrift shop… but I heard a dry squeaky sound approaching from another aisle.  I [...]

If the weather seems good tomorrow morning and we’re feeling motivated I think we’re going to go over towards Corinth, where Tayla grew up and spend some time with her family.  Corinth is famous for a number of things: 1) supposed birthplace of Jack Oblivian and 2) home of the slugburger.  I had heard nothing [...]
