Most of my family (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins) live with an hour of each other. I live about 12 hours away from home. So, needless to say, I don’t make it home for family dinners too often. So, instead, we have weekly family dinners at our house in Memphis! This started about a year
My mom retired a couple of years ago. To mark her retirement, we took a road trip through the Southwest US. It’s like a whole other country out there. The trees, the sun, the houses–they all look different. We drove hundreds (actually over a thousand) of miles and explored lots of cool National Parks. And,

Here’s my most recent email to the powers that be regarding my lack of cable. And, to answer your question…No. I still don’t have cable. Sometimes I turn on the TV just to watch the white dots and the black dots dance in perfect harmony. It’s a beautiful, diverse mixture…then, the harsh static noise breaks
So, I haven’t had cable in about 14 days. No, I didn’t forget to pay the bill. I don’t have to pay a bill. (And, no, I don’t steal cable either. I’m honest…it’s rude for you to even think that of me!) The reality is that my former job required me to live in an
