If you could live at any time in history, when would it be?
If you could live at any time in history, when would it be? There are two time periods I am interested in. First is the wild west. I’m thinking late 1800’s. I love the stage coaches, horses, steam trains, trail rides and cattle drives.

Here’s Your Sign
Bill Engvall has made a very funny comedy show about handing out signs to stupid people. Essentially stating the obvious things they missed. You can look that up for yourself.

Is a Picture Worth a 1000 Words?

Pictures of our food, our kids, scenery, friends, and more… Just check out Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, SnapChat, Flickr, Twitter and the rest… If a picture is worth a 1000 words, why do we now add words to our pictures and callContinue reading “Is a Picture Worth a 1000 Words?”
Upendi
When our girls were young, they would treat us to dinner at Upendi, it was their very own made up restaurant. These were our dates when the girls were little.
