I’m finally getting around to making an entry about my wild, wonderful Christmas. I’ll make it brief because, to be honest, I’ve now forgotten many of the details.

I got a card from someone who says she is my “Secret Admirer”. This just a day after the fortune in my fortune cookie (Chinese takeout) stated, and I quote, “Your dynamic eyes have ( Read more... )

I will post an entry regarding my very diverse, multi-racial, multi-ethnic, very busy and hectic Christmas within the next couple of days. Right now, I have no internet access and am using the chamber's internet just to make a post.

So, why no internet. Well, it seems that with Sprint, I had unlimited broadband usage. This is a good thing, I use a ( Read more... )

We do a lot of Relay for Life fundraisers where I work. Several months ago, we had one and gave the proceeds to an employee whose father is suffering from esophageal cancer.

The Christmas season began in my little town on December 5. During the day, we held a big Christmas block party of sorts all day long. Then, when the evening came, we had our annual parade ( Read more... )

I just realized that once again much time has passed since my last entry. Way too much has happened for me to even begin to mention most of it. So…I’ll touch on the few things I actually do remember ( Read more... )

I did it! I am very excited.

For the past several months, I have been working behind the scenes to get The Wall That Heals, a traveling Vietnam Wall memorial, to come to Taylor. Yesterday, I received an e-mail letting me know they’d like to be in our town in March. We have set the date for March 25 - 28, 2010. It will arrive on March 24 for set up ( Read more... )

Okay, let’s get caught up on things.

I went to San Antonio last weekend to visit the parental units, hang with some friends, and enjoy some grilled food. While there, I went to a local establishment to get some fresh brewed iced tea. I got a call on the way back asking me to run by the grocery store to grab some eggs and milk. While paying, I ( Read more... )

As the days begin to get shorter, and the air finally becomes crisp and cool after the very hot summer we endured, I am reminded of how there is something so beautiful about this time of year. Autumn has always been my favorite season. Even when I was a child, this was time of year I liked best. Even the smell of this season is exhilarating to me ( Read more... )
