Our hearts are breaking with the news that our wonderful little Bella has passed away suddenly this week, and we share our grief, and our joy, that we found in this beautiful creation of God. We have hundreds of wonderful memories of Bella, a feisty terrier mix that was also calm and gentle, a rare [...]

Bread and Milk

Posted on April 30, 2007. Filed under: Family | Tags: , , , , , , |

I found some memories today, tucked back in a corner somewhere. I’ve been trying to lose weight, and working on portion control. It’s the Nutrisystem, and it’s been good so far. Not dramatic results, but a pound lost each week is healthy. This morning for my carbohydrate, I had a slice of wheat bread, and [...]

Brother Michael

Posted on March 13, 2007. Filed under: Family | Tags: , , , |

It was a special blessing this past week. I am not a pastor (nor do I play one on tv), but 2 weeks ago my nephew eloped. To who? When? What do we know about her? The angst was carved into tiny slices and digested by all. The family decision was made – they’re just [...]

Josh Turner at the Rodeo

Posted on March 6, 2007. Filed under: Family, Fun Stuff | Tags: , , , , |

Took my favorite date with me yesterday afternoon (my wife) to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. Had a great time. We watched two little chicks breaking out of their shells and a small crowd had gathered to root for them. The one we called “hermit crab” one, but not by much. Then we saw [...]

Happy Day After Mother’s Day. No, I didn’t forget. My wife and I traveled across the barren wastelands of Houston to take my mother and stepfather out to a wonderful little Italian restaurant. Today is the post celebration of the leftovers. Yum, crown roast of pork.

Dogs and HyperActive Thyroids

Posted on April 24, 2006. Filed under: Family | Tags: |

Dang dogs. I’m pretty sure Patch jumped up on the furniture tonight and got my wife’s thyroid medicine off the end table. When I got home after exercise, it was Bella that was happily chewing on the child-proof (but not dog-proof) plastic bottle.

Posted on March 28, 2006. Filed under: Family, Stories | Tags: , , |
