When Real Isn’t Real (But Still Hilarious!)
Sunday afternoon was supposed to be a quiet one — me writing my next blog, Carl watching the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders game. I could hear him in the other room hollering, “You’ve GOT to see this!” I thought, “Wow, it must be a nail-biter!” So I walked in, ready for a game-winning touchdown……

Make Life an Epic Adventure

What Color Is Your Angel?
Staci and I were getting out of the car at the store, when Staci ran over to a nearby parked car. One of the ladies was getting out all the tools needed to change a flat tire, while the other lady was looking at a YouTube video telling how to do it. (LOL! Thank God…
