A special Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, Nancy. Mother to six, grandmother to eight, great grandmother to four. She’s a mainstay of our family who, in conjunction with my dad, held us all together through our formative years, guiding four children to adulthood and seeing them become responsible citizens. … Continue reading →
On Monday, I left the boys in Dr. Val’s care and took the girls to San Antonio with me. Much to the clinic staff’s surprise, all three boys tested positive for urinary tract infections. Floyd’s was different from Tarzan and Ajax, but matched the sample I brought in last week. … Continue reading →

Lisa opened the last box in the once-crowded store room. She didn’t know what was in the box, but she couldn’t believe she was finally down to the last one. There must be some kind of celebration she should do after she finished this one. She’d been working steadily for … Continue reading →
