There are no special days to be thankful. Thursdays come and go but today I am grateful not because of the day but because I am healthy and I am moving forward. Every morning I wake to my three pups who greet me and are ready for whatever the day brings. My attitude is improved just by being in t

Yesterday, I was talking with a friend and they referred to a agent they knew as serious. I listened carefully and let them go on. Finally, I said, "so what's wrong with serious?" I mean you are hiring someone to help you market and sell your most valuable asset. My friend thought about this for

It is here or it will be soon go get ready and get going. With changing seasons come tasks to accomplish and the sooner the better. First, once the leaves are down, either move them, mow them or mulch them. Secondly, take your outdoor plants inside and don't wait until the first frost is upon you

Every once in awhile something happens that takes us back, and often it is out of nowhere and a total surprise. Today was one of those days for me. I was at the animal shelter earlier and one of the dogs that had previosly been adopted was back. Maxon is active and his owner was older and couldn'

I love to travel. I have been wanting to go to South Africa for a long time and now I am exploring it in earnest. The cost is generally prohibitive but....you only love once and I deserve it. So now I am doing my reasearch and perhaps this will be a reality. If you have been I'd appreciate any in
