Girlie Bonding
Posted on 31. Mar, 2009 by Deb.
There are two perfect ways of bonding with girlfriends: chatting over coffee and going to get your nails done. The best days are when you can combine the two, which is what I did today. Miss Melissa was kind enough to have me and another of her friends over for coffee (and cookies) this morning, [...]

Must Love Dogs
Posted on 30. Mar, 2009 by Deb.
If you know me, you know that I have a dog named Greta. She is a Bouvier des Flanders, one of those breeds that you just *don’t* hear about on a daily basis. She is in her elder years, turning 9 this April, and she weighs 92-lbs. She sleeps quite a bit, but is still [...]

Spring Fever has found me out of step and this morning, I chose to work at finding that again. Today, Greta and I ventured back to our walks in the park, a task that had slipped from my daily routine the last couple of weeks. Spring is my second favorite season, with Autumn being the [...]

Legends VS. Facts
Posted on 17. Mar, 2009 by Deb.
Today, I made the drive to Waxahachie. I drove around the town square, and saw that little has changed since the 1970′s. I was wishing for light and my camera, but those can wait. It was not quite 6 AM when I drove through, too dark for photographs and besides, I had places I needed [...]

The Sound of Silence
Posted on 13. Mar, 2009 by Deb.
I clearly remember doing Algebra homework in front of the television when I was in the 8th grade. Up until that point, I rarely had homework, except for books for book reports. Though that never seemed like homework, because I loved to read. Maybe it was the ease of the work or the fact that [...]
