When the snow has gone, the park just isn't quite the same. That's why I love the Winter. In the middle of Winter with a light snow falling down, the park turns into a truly magical place. A wonderland of sorts. My dog and I walk through there every night and I think he enjoys it as much as I ...
Now I know smoking isn't good for you and that they warn you it can cause cancer, but I had no idea just how bad it was. When they say smoking will get you every time, they mean it. It comes after you like a tiger on the attack. Quick to pounce, you sometimes don't even realize what hit you. ...
There's a tradition in my family, we always leave our shoes at the door. It's nothing new, we've always done it. My grandparents did it and their grandparents did it. As soon as we step onto the porch, we remove our shoes and head inside. My mom said it was because our shoes scuffed the hardwood floors. However, my grandmother ...
I'm not exactly what you'd call a city boy. I'm much more comfortable in the country, you know out on the farm, tending to the fields, riding horses, etc. And I'll tell you, as soon as I saw this baby, all I could think of was "Ride 'em Cowboy!" I just had to have her. City folk can have all ...
Okay look...this whole party thing was not my idea. Don't get me wrong, I'm more than happy to get some extra bones, a box of biscuits, a few squeaky toys and if you're feeling generous I wouldn't mind a birthday steak. However, I'm not really fond of the party hat here. Can't we just play some fetch? Maybe roll around ...
Celebrating the Fourth of July is always exciting. Having picnics, playing sports, spending time with friends and family, etc. It's a great way to celebrate our nation's independence. But nothing will make you sit back in awe like the fireworks show on Lake Austin. Boats litter the lake, people line the shores and when the fireworks start all eyes are ...
Sometimes smelling the roses is not all it's cracked up to be. Take, for example, the other day when I got a little too "up close and personal" with a bee. I had just leaned over to smell a beautiful white rose when all of a sudden I opened my eyes and there he was. It took a moment for ...
What a wonderful day it has been. The only thing that could make it better would be to get in a little sailing. Maybe we should try to get out there before the storm rolls in and it gets too dark. Come on, last one to the boat has to swab the deck. Oh no! You're kidding?! Well, I don't ...
All you have to do is follow the rails until you reach the blue sky. It won't be far now, just keep on rolling along. I know it's tempting to stop and try to soak in all the beauty that Nature provides. People always tell you to stop and smell the roses, right? Well, this trip is a little different. ...
There are some things you can only imagine. Things like what does the doorway to the heavens look like? Are there colors on the back of a rainbow? How many stars are in the sky? If you dig straight down can you really get to the other side of the Earth? Well, I may not have the answer to most ...
