As we go up the avenue, carols are coming from another home.  "Snow" covers the lawn while a group of wooden carolers stand next to an old fashion street lamp near the center.  On the left, a man...

On the other end of Austin Avenue, where the stores end and the homes begin, is more magic.  The owners of the large homes have turned their front lawns into Christmas wonderlands.  All up the...

As Christmas tree forests are appearing all over town, downtown Waco is being transformed into a Christmas winter wonderland. The streetlight poles are, now, tall red and white striped candy canes,...

Halloween is passed. The aroma of yesterday's Thanksgiving dinner lingers throughout the house. It's time for the magic. The magic of Christmas! Forests of trees have grown in vacant lots around...

There was a knock on my side door Thanksgiving night.  I wasn't expecting anybody and I was surprised when I answered and found one of my neighbors and her sister standing there.  She said that...

My hand is getting progressively worse.  There is very little I can do with it now.  I found out at my doctor's visit that I can barely write. Typing isn't much better since my fingers don't work...

THIS IS A TEST.  IT IS ONLY A TEST.  NO ACTION IS REQUIRED.

Took Foxy to the vet this morning.  It's been a long time since her last visit.  There was good news and bad news.  The good news is she's in pretty good shape.  She's lost 7 pounds and her...

I am a creature of routines.  I get up at the same time every morning.  I go to bed at the same time every night.  Breakfast, showering, dressing, going to and coming home from work,,,,all done at...

There's been another improvement with the puppies.  The three on the fence now have large metal pans for their food.  Before, the food was tossed on the ground like chicken feed or put in the...

As most of you know I've been worrying about the puppies next door.  They're chained to the fence as are 2 other dogs.  And they haven't had enough water while we've been going through 44+ days of...

I need sleep!  I haven't slept a full night in a couple of weeks.  Sometimes, I can't get to sleep, while other times I can't stay asleep, waking up at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning.  And other...

Well, we've had 42 days of 100+ temperatures with no end in sight.  My first weeks of retirement have been ridiculous.  There are things to do.  The back yard is littered with dead branches and...
