On This Thanksgiving I am Thankful for my Mom and Dad

It’s Thanksgiving, which means…it is time to be thankful.  I was thinking about being thankful this morning as I drank my coffee and thought about what lies ahead for us today.  What does it mean to be thankful?  For me, that definition has begun to change over the last few years.  I used to be thankful for…

Speechless Sunday – Diane Say’s It’s Gonna be a Bad Winter Thanks to These Guys

I was working at my home office the other day when I looked out the window and noticed several “wooley worms” on our blooming vine. I don’t actually know what kind of worms these guys are or even if they’re guy or girl worms or caterpillars or whatever they are.  When I told Diane about…

Remember 9/11 and Make a Difference

Because today is 9/11, we all have thoughts on our minds about the terrible tragedy and loss of life in New York City on that fateful day.  Today is indeed a day to remember, reflect and never forget. But is that all there is?  Remembering?  Reflecting?  Not forgetting? Without being holier than thou, can I…

Speechless Sunday – What is That Up There on the Chimney?

I was out showing houses the other day in the country when we noticed something strange way up high on the chimney. At first we could make out what it was.  Can you? How about now? Yep, that’s a a rubber snake!  The owners had put it there to scare of birds that might want…
