Let me [...]

March 14, 2013

Recently, I saw an article with the topic “do we ever leave high school”? This article made me think of how those three years (our freshman year was at a different school) had more impact on my personality and who I am than any other three years of my life (even those first few years [...]

“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” is a philosophical thought experiment that raises questions regarding observation and knowledge of reality. Observation, knowledge of reality, blah, blah, blah. See, if you arrive to your land in the mountains after dark, in very cold weather, go through the gate, [...]

The Cake Boss would be mortified if he saw this post. And, Martha Stewart, I am so sorry. I try hard to make wonderful memories for our boys and birthdays are one of the highlights of their year. They wake up to pancakes with a candle, I make their beds for them, no school, and [...]

A Love Story for the Month of Love

Our Love Story

Did you ever read The Park Wife & The Ranger ~ The Love Story? I really do not know why there is not a book made from this. Hallmark Channel has not called either. Amazing. If you are sitting around with a  box of chocolates, a Dr. Pepper, and there is nothing on your DVR [...]

A simple life well lived

Big  Buckaroo is from Louisiana, I am from Mississippi, we met in Tennessee and we live in Arkansas. We have the South and its wonderful culture covered.
