Maybe it’s just me, but March seemed to last forever. All during the month, I was continually thinking that the date was one week later than it actually was. It turned out to be a blessing though because we had a lot of projects to complete to be ready for spring planting. Last Sunday…
How was your Easter weekend? Mine was really nice. As I told you last week, the plan for Saturday was to spend the day fishing for catfish to have for Easter dinner, on Sunday. We were up early Saturday morning (something I hate to do on the weekend). The alarm went off at 5:00am. After…
Despite the fact that there is still one more week of March, I feel like I am getting farther and farther behind schedule. It has been so warm that the trees are budding and the nurseries are selling flowers and vegetables. The grass is growing in the yard, and the weeds are growing in…
When we are young, every day we look forward to the adventure that lies before us. We may find ourselves daydreaming of different scenarios, some real and some a wild fantasy. We are convinced that life is meant to be lived at top speed otherwise, it is boring. Maybe that is why kids run…

There is so much potential housed within our brain. We possess the intellect to solve complicated problems. We can ponder our future, and imagine all sorts of scenarios. We can feel sympathy and empathy, or we can block all emotion. We can have a sense of motivation or of apathy. Spending too much time inside…
One word that seems to be garnering more attention in the world’s languages is organic. In business, the word is used to indicate something occurring naturally, or through natural processes. This seems to be one of the purest definitions of the word that I have found. Within each and every human is a very complex…
2016 started out at a pretty fast pace. It seems that my schedule is always full, and I am constantly preparing for the next big event. Well, some of them aren’t really big, but that’s not to say that they aren’t important. I just returned from a 3 day trip to San Angelo. My company…
