Questionable Inheritance
A bunch of us were down at the coffee shop the other day when the subject turned to someone’s cousin’s friend’s stepdaughter who had just inherited a good bit of money.

Another Ode to My Older Sisters
Thinking about y'all tonight as I call it a day. Will cover you and yours in prayer. In the words of one of my all-time fav child books "I love you forever, I love you always.

Happy “Bufday” America from the Czars of ATS
Hey y'all, we're still recovering from a big Fourth around here but I wanted to throw up some pics from all the fun. These are from my cell phone because it was more convenient than going for the camera all the time. I'll be adding the briefest of commentary. :) Around here the Fourth fun began on the Second when the Mahers arrived from Houston and the sprinkler
Ode to My Older Siblings
Hey y'all, I got so hot washing down the porches earlier that I decided to drink straight from the water hose. Haven't done that in years. I guzzled actually, and boy did it bring back the memories of growing up on Bull Run Road
