Mulan, Nana, and the Popster

April 27, 2015

Part I Mulan, Nana and the Popster 2005 by Earl & Nancy Stubbs This compilation of history and platitudes is nothing more than an opportunity for me to examine and share the relationship I have with Mulan. She has graced my life for over five years, and we spend the bulk of each 24-hour period in close proximity. My wife, Nancy, and I have always loved dogs. She cares for our family members. I serve them. We developed our own style regarding the canine members of our family by requiring very little from them in the way of training. Since my personal needs do not include an outdoor pet to feed and pat on the head occasionally, they have all shared our domiciles and our beds. Nancy is the taskmaster in the area of house training though I usually took them out on a timely basis and in later years, we share the walks. One must observe closely to enjoy the personality of a dog. By providing an environment of saf...

Compelling Journey

November 05, 2015

Prologue This book was an itch that required scratching. The preparation gave me decades of entertainment and the opportunity to learn about my kin. This record comes in four parts. The first is a family history of my paternal family, the Stubbs line. The second is a family history of my maternal ancestors, the Hampton line. Part III is a brief autobiography. Part IV is an anthology of autobiographical sketches written over a long period. Except for the first in the series, these stories are factual as I recall the incidents and they are in chronological order. I dedicate this book to my sons, Michael Wayne Stubbs (1957) and Mark Alan Stubbs (1960) both of whom I love and respect, and to my dear wife, Nancy Lynn Jacobs Stubbs for her proofreading, meaningful advice, and being the girl of my dreams. All my love to my grandchildren: Travis, Jordan, Jennifer, Kayla, and Aaron. You bless my life. Earl Stubbs-2012 Part I 1 Life is full of surprises and seren...

The Brown Recluse - Part 1

October 25, 2015

Preface The Brown Recluse is a work of fiction. It is coincidental if the characters resemble anyone living or dead. Such was not our intent. Some of the places depicted in the story are real, such as the Sulphur River, Morris County Texas, Chateauneuf du Pape in the Rhone Valley of France, Monte Carlo, Cannes, Nice, St. Paul de Vance, the Hong Kong Stadium, the Louis XV Restaurant, the Grande Casino, the Hotel de Paris, and the Hotel Hermitage. The model for the Northeast Texas Park described in the story is Daingerfield State Park, and it exists. Fictional places described in The Brown Recluse are Piney Springs, Mt. Mariah, and the base of Mossad Operations in Tel Aviv. They do not exist. The acts depicted in this novel are the fruits of our imagination and never happened in the real world. Acknowledgements We dedicate this novel to the members of the Tejas Club (1947-1960) of East Texas State Teachers College, living and passed. With...
