• NaBloPoMo Day 22 – Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving! We, like many, are enjoying family and food. Lots and lots of food and lots and lots of pies. So very yummy. Today is the day that not only do we enjoy uninterrupted time with family, but we also get to enjoy guilt-free eating. We ate the tried and true favorites: Turkey, stuffing,…

  • NaBloPoMo Day 21 – Getting Ready for Family

    Our family is in the last throes of a Mad Dash household cleanup. You know the fine tooth comb, white glove, dusty corner type of clean up. It is harried and busy but well worth the effort once we get together with family. I wish everyone who is traveling to spend time with their loved…

    What started at as a simple night out with the family for dinner turned into a eventful service filled evening. Kudos to Gregory Michael of the Outback Steakhouse off of I-10 in San Antonio.  Thanks for a memorable evening. Play mp3 Feed 

  • NaBloPoMo Day 18 – Contributions

    My youngest son is in a Christian Youth Band at a local church organized by his guitar teacher. Over the course of the last 2 1/2 months, I’ve watched this group of young musicians go from individual players to a harmonized group. It’s been an amazing transformation especially consider that they only practice together 1x…

    A brief observation my sister had while sitting in an airport during a layover reminds me of the movie Spaceballs. Play mp3 Feed
