My husband wanted to send his mom some flowers for Mothers Day. My preference would have been to drop by the local garden shop, choose a hanging basket, and personally deliver it — but given that “mom” lives 1000 miles away that wasn’t happening. Teleflora offered a nice selection of floral arrangements, so I chose […]

The bite in the apple symbolizes the apple from the Garden Of Eden. When Eve, took a bite out of the apple, she gained knowledge of good and evil. The Apple logo says, that you can use all their produces for good or bad. Personally, I think they couldn’t have done it better. We shouldn’t […]

Definitely not smart. Apparently our fears are not unfounded.  There is a reason so many people voted for Obama and why Democrats think their future looks so bright – an increasing amount of stupidity is being bred into our DNA.

As a follow up to my previous post. At least there is one person in the media willing to do his job, even if it is only for laughs: The only thing missing from the ad is a third claw foot tub with Steve Kroft sitting in it.

Powell Standard:  Calling Obama Lazy is racist, but the term Jewish Lobby is fine Colin Powell appeared on Meet the Press today, to claim that the GOP looks down on minorities, that Republicans oppose Obama not because of policy but because they hate black people.

This is a post about one of my new favorite places in the Texas Hill Country. Go figure. It’s got winding roads, horse dotted hills, shady streams, sophisticated transplants from the […]
