or interpretation is everything.. Thanks to Chick-Fil-A, the kids got two Between The Lions CD’s the other day. They begged me to put them on in the car, so I did. As soon as the theme song started, Princess started singing and Monkey, not knowing the words, but no less enthusiastic started bopping along in…

Whether you believe and share the Magic of the Man; Santa, Father Christmas, Pierre Noel, or simply share and believe in the magic, the giving, the sharing, the generosity of the season… It…
I’m having a garage sale tomorrow. I planned it two weeks ago, when we were still wearing shorts and t-shirts and the weather was typical Corpus. I am having a garage sale tomorrow and today, today it sleeted in Corpus. Let’s say that again. Sleet. South Texas. These two don’t go together very often. The…
Every Thanksgiving, my family gets together for food, fellowship, football, silliness and fun. We each bring our favorite dish, and a bottle of wine (or beer, in my brothers’ case). I’ve discovered some new wines and even gone out of my Merlot Comfort Zone to try a few whites, and found how much I enjoy…
