Texas Ranger: The Rest Of The Story

tr

No one has asked why I’ve written plenty about Feathers lately and nothing at all about Texas Ranger.  For a while TR was part of the family, attending our version of the Grammys and engaging in all the other ornithological activities Porter could create.

All good things must come to an end.  TR wasn’t a particularly pleasant bird, but he, too, met his end.  His dramatic demise is recounted here.  (Click on Texas Ranger’s Last Adventure.) Grab a hankie and a fire extinguisher before reading– you’ll need both.

*************************

Three years ago in My Tiny Kingdom: The Odd Child Out (it’s interesting that this post came up now– I’m now addressing these issues with Porter in a much healthier way and hopefully will feel comfortable writing about it soon.)

    Anne, this was the most hilarious story about a funeral I’ve ever heard (and I’ve heard a few–my father is a pastor.) Thanks for the laugh!

    That was absolutely hysterical. Very well done in the mom department. I would’ve probably finished off the wine after all that.

    I just went back and reread your post on Porter. I can’t wait to hear how you’re dealing now and if things are any different. I’m struggling with something similar with my daughter. I can’t put it into words, but I could relate all too well to that post.

    That was just wonderful. Can I contact you to do the eulogy when our ancient cat finally bites the dust?

    Am I missing something here? I cannot get this page to show anything but 2 stories not about Texas Ranger and a few inactive link buttons.

    BTW, I’m a new reader and have read every page over the last month or two and absolutely love your writing.

    I was wondering why we hadn’t heard about TR with your latest Feathers story, but figured TR was less adventurous. Poor kid.

    What I'm Reading


    This book is told from an alcoholic's point of view. It provides insight into the disease, rehab and AA. Well worth reading if you're close to a severe alcoholic.

    I've never read any of his fiction, but his book about the craft of writing was awesome.

    Hey, I have a story in this book about how I'm not always the best mom. It's guaranteed to make you feel better about yourself, especially the part where I throw stuff at Finn.

    I put this golden oldie here because I love it and if you haven't read it you're missing out.

    The Boys Are Loving


    I heard Rick Riordan interviewed on NPR and went directly to the library to get these books. Porter absolutely adored them-- they were by far the biggest hit of the year.

    Drew and Porter are fighting over these books. Enough said.


    I didn't think Porter would like this, but I was desperate for him to read something, so I shoved it at him and it was a WINNER.

    Hooray-- there's a sequel to the original Diary. The guys are snarfing it up.


    Porter finished all the Harry Potter books so I started him on A Wrinkle In Time, and he's enjoying it. I bought the whole set so he'd have plenty to read for the next few months.
