THINGS THAT STING!
Facebook! Sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it. I mostly started using it to notify my kids in the youth group I advised - for eleven years. Now I mainly use it to market dogs and save their lives. Not patting myself on the back (or am I) but I did receive plaques stating I was the Adviser of … [Read more...]
CLOUD JUJU
Do you dream? Are you creative? Wish you were? I always wonder that about myself. Sometimes I find myself daydreaming while cloud watching. Do you ever do that?

GOOD GRIEF!
Good grief! Is grief good? I don't know. But it's certainly in no short supply. Just recently we lost someone who many consider a Houston treasure - former First Lady, Barbara Bush.

WHO’S YOUR DADDY?
Are you a father? Are you a daddy? Is there a difference? Or are you neither? Or are you both? Ever think about that? I never did till recently. Guardians of The Galaxy II. Yes, I'll admit it, I totally geeked out. I loved the movies, Guardians of The Galaxy I & II. If you haven't seen them, … [Read more...]
HE’S A LITTLE BROKEN
"I had NO idea Hank Williams was being placed in a home with someone in a wheel chair. And Hank Williams is THE BEST dog for this environment.

CIGAR SELECTIVE
Cigars. What are they really? Sure, smoke 'em if you got 'em, but I always wonder what draws me to a particular cigar. See what I did there? Perhaps it's the fact that when you start smoking a great cigar, your mind starts to wander. When I smoke a cigar, I'm only doing one of two things. I'm either … [Read more...]
NEED A BREAK? LEARN TO BAKE.
When you're down and troubled, and you need a helping hand. And nothing, nothing is going right... I just love that Kenny Loggins song, don't you?
