Sometimes you get caught up in the daily grind and can forget just how good you have it. This can be anything from a good job and family or more basic things like electricity and water. I can tell you first hand that I have experienced both this year. Obviously COVID has made a mess…

Some of us are enduring the various stages of the Covid-19 quarantine alone and others with family or friends. My heart goes out to those who have been alone through this. We are social creatures by nature and need interaction with others for our own sanity. If you have been alone, I pray that you…

Some things you have to experience for yourself. Standing at the top of a mountain or at the top of a canyon cliff  are a few of those things. Pictures just don’t do them justice. Sometimes things just fall into place. This was one of those times. I needed to go to Colorado for work…

For as long as I can remember I wanted to move out of the City/Suburbia and find a piece of land I could call my own. Someplace that I could find solace and also challenge my senses. In addition, I wanted a place that family and friends could come visit and leave recharged as if…

You usually get one gift, wrapped in Christmas paper and you never get to have a party because everyone is either out of town or broke. lol This year, I was celebrating my 50th birthday. My oldest daughter reached out to other friends of mine…

Sometimes when you travel, you just don’t have the time to find someplace new. You just want to get in and out of town quickly. This is what happened a couple weeks ago. I had to return to the Houston area for a trade-show on short notice, so I decided to stay at the Rayford…

Sometimes the best laid plans still fall apart in the end. The said plan, included spending the weekend at a local park and enjoying the cooler temperatures.
