Murfreesboro Humor and Comedy By: Lori Wescott – Tennessee Humorist I was working in the yard last weekend while my son played beside me with his trains.

I would like to take a moment to address the individual or individuals directly. Dear Culprit, pardon me while I bend your ear for a moment. Out of all [...]
Whether you call them in-laws or out-laws, it is always a struggle to fit in with your new family. I had been married five short months when my mother-in-law, Janelle, invited me to Chicago with her and her two sisters. It was a “sister trip,” and I was invited. How exciting!
