Living in Florida, I have seen many spring break vacationers over the weekend. Families are now and soon will be going on vacation, perhaps going to visit family, etc. Well, many have pets that they have to leave behind for a friend or neighbor to watch while they are away. As much as you think [...]
What a gorgeous day today. The sky is blue, the grass is green, spring is in the air! Some day before I die, I would like to go camping and hiking. Growing up as a child, we never went, and I’ve never been. I always wanted to be a girl scout, but I lived a [...]
The weekend has once again flown by. Spring is quickly approaching, and we cleaned up the pollen off our back patio and pool over the weekend. The changing weather can surely lift your spirits.

He works construction in the Chicago area, and everyone knows construction slows down with the ice, snow and cold. He’s going to Las Vegas, Nevada later in [...]
When I was in school, I remember others making fun of those who were gay. Sometimes there were even bullies that picked on those that looked or acted gay. As a teenager, I had a confused outlook on those who were. I then found out after I graduated that my very own brother was gay. [...]
I tell you, I absolutely love to cook! My next biggest downfall is that I like to eat. It’s sad when you hit 30 how your metabolism slows down and just nags at you. With all of the different types of diets out there, it’s hard to tell what to eat anymore. Some say no [...]
