The Most Important Meal of the Day
How many remember fifth grade? More importantly; how many remember the lunch room? Most don’t understand the politics, social exchange and class warfare that transpired there. So…for just a bit, experience the “lunch-room” through the eyes of the Tin Cup Clan. This is just a small excerpt from Chapter Eight, I hope you can getContinue reading “The Most Important Meal of the Day”
CHANGES WITH “THE TIN CUP CLAN”
Hi friends…Many things are changing here at “The tin cup Clan” and I desperately need your help. I’ve had a lot going on lately and feel I have far to many irons in the fire. The books are coming out very soon and I’ve decided to narrow social media to just a couple of platforms.Continue reading “CHANGES WITH “THE TIN CUP CLAN””
Do You Have a “Loser’s Limp?”
I reckon I need to begin with an apology. Things have been a bit busy of late and my posts have suffered. I find myself answering E-mails inquiring if I am still among the living. Well believe it or not, I’m still kicking. But I fear there may be one or two out there thatContinue reading “Do You Have a “Loser’s Limp?””
“Stumbling Blocks” or “Stepping Stones”
As I write these stories my fervent hope would be; they become as real to you as they are to me. I want you to know the boys,see they’re home town when you close your eyes, even feel what they feel. That statement may seem a bit “campy” but please dear reader, do me theContinue reading ““Stumbling Blocks” or “Stepping Stones””
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 andContinue reading “The Troublesome Red Head and his Family”
Is there really a “Normal” family?
As promised, here is the first in our visits with the boy’s families. I thought big David would be a good place to start since his family serves as “home base” for our boys. As a child I knew a big David, and his family was very similar to the David in the books, andContinue reading “Is there really a “Normal” family?”
Let Me Introduce You to “The Copper Lady”
Around here we got a habit of classifying any and all manner of machinery as “female.” I don’t know why, that’s just the way it’s always been. Truck, car, tractor, still, makes no difference, “The ol’ girl,” or “Fire her up,” are common phrases. If she refuses to start or breaks down, then things getContinue reading “Let Me Introduce You to “The Copper Lady””
Time to meet the Witch
Well… here it is, the central theme in the first “Tin Cup Clan” book. I admit I’ve put the ol’ girl off for awhile, after all, there were other subjects we needed to address. I need to begin by reminding all, there are always at least two sides to every story. The Witch is certainlyContinue reading “Time to meet the Witch”
The Cryptic Mr. Bill
By Michael Miller When I began to write The Tin Cup Clan the first character that came to mind was Mr. Bill. I hope that we all have cherished childhood memories of that “one” person that seemingly with-out knowing influenced us above all others. I count myself richly blessed as I have several to fallContinue reading “The Cryptic Mr. Bill”
