Celebrating Success

This is a very special preview post for me. It features a young woman I greatly admire. She stands on the cusp of a new chapter in her life as she finishes up a well earned master's degree. I am so proud of how far she has come and how far she is going to go. But mostly, I am just proud to be able to call her my friend.

Check out these photos and celebrate her success with me!


Congrats Sunshine!

In the Eye of the Beholder

This past weekend I got a chance to step out of my comfort zone a bit while my family and I went on a little road trip.

For those who don't know, a "road trip" in Texas could land you in one of its sprawling big cities (think Houston or Dallas) or find you on a dusty old country road with no one around for miles and miles.

This particular adventure took us mostly over those back country roads with only cows, crops and bluebonnets to keep us company. But in the end, we landed near a major Interstate highway in a reasonably sized city for an antique car swap meet.

And while the swap meet experience wasn't exactly what we were expecting, we still had a great time and got to enjoy some rather savagely aged automotive beauties, including these rusted relics:


Since I'm not in the business of restoring these rusting wonders, I can just enjoy them for the simple lines, the ample leg room, and the sense of history they convey.

All in all, it was a fun day out with my guys and I can't wait until the next one!

Play Ball!

Just like the roadsides filled with wild flowers, another sure sign of spring is the sight of soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and every neighborhood park filling up with families!

My guys and I are rather partial to the soccer field and spend as much time as possible playing, practicing, and cheering on our favorite teams.


Regardless of whether you favor soccer, baseball or softball, golf, martial arts, tennis, or rugby (or any other sport of your choice), we invite you to check out our Sports & Activities gallery.

We believe ALL of your accomplishments, both on and off the field of play, should be celebrated. And we hope you will let us celebrate with you!
