Play Time Files
Again there was a trail of pink items throughout the house with Selena’s sisters around. I didn’t remember that this phone actually had a Minnie impressionist talking when you answered the phone or tried to call out.

Rocking in the Great Dane Picnic
Life is fast. I remember hearing about the date of the company family picnic, but was surprised to know Friday, that it was on Saturday. Like it just came out of nowhere. On top of that it was also my niece’s birthday and a party after the picnic. Once we arrived at the park in…

The Last Edition: The Hands of My Father
How does one measure a father’s worth? Fortunately, I do not have firsthand experience and would not wish the lack of a father’s presence on anyone!

Wow! What a day. Everything was taking shape I had several ideas going through my mind this morning for a series and just random ideas due to some upcoming dates.

Is there a song that every time you hear it you think, I could have written that song! Heirlooms is the title of one of those songs that has fit me more than once. I literally have a history with this song. As a teenager, I heard it performed at church by a legend; accompanied…
