Do You Have a Dream?
I have been about to BUST to tell you my big news. But I waited, because patience is a virtue. Also because I am a person who holds in information in case it doesn’t actually happen. A little insight into my sad, sad personality.
Everything I Know About the Military I Learned from 70s TV
Now that we are back to school life has taken on a busy, yet semi-predictable turn. No more lets-do-whatever mornings. It’s back to the military style of living where Mom blows the bugle at 7 in the morning and demands pushups for anyone that doesn’t hop-to.

If You Can’t Find Me I’ll Be at a Riverwalk Hotel
The past week has been Texas history week here at the Point. We visited museums and landmarks and walked trails and, of course, ate Mexican food. It’s Texas law that you have to eat Mexican food a minimum of once a week.
