More than just the usual gossip
We’ve all run across them. Sometimes we stumble upon them by accident. Sometimes they turn out to be long time acquaintances or even family members. Sometimes they’re co-workers or maybe a friend of a friend. They can be either male or female. Sometimes we look in the mirror and find them.

There’s nothing like self censorship. I’ve had a lot of thoughts, opinions, and memories rolling around in my mind the last several weeks.

Happiness is where you are.
Before we moved out here to the great big middle of nowhere, we lived on 3 acres off of FM 1886 or Confederate Park Rd. It was an older 2 story frame house. We learned some things there. Some things about gardening, water well repairs, old Farmall tractors, crazy neighbors, and right of ways acrossContinue reading “Happiness is where you are.”
Today – Some of life’s little lies
Yes I know this is just the opposite of yesterday, but it was all I could think of on the way home last night. They kept running through my head. So here they are.
