Yesterday we had a business lunch. I always get a little quiet during these little meet and greets. I think it is warranted. There have been so many times that we have met with someone and shared our ideas and plans and then find they have taken our idea, knowledge or connections and have used …

BanJoe’s Birthday
Today is Ben’s 23rd birthday. As I was putting this together… I cried. These moments are my moments. These images brought back so many memories and times. Hugs with chubby little fingers and wet snotty kisses. Who’d of thought one would miss that?! Now when my children hug me, it is my chubby fingers (sort …
Baby’s Gone
This month is crazy for Ciera Jo. Every week she has another performance, activity or SOMETHING that makes her feel just a tad stressed out. This week was no different.

Possibilities

Tax Man
It’s tax time. For most of us that means doing an inventory, gathering information and filing. For others… well I don’t know what others do. Oh wait, I think they ignore them and hope they go away. Well, they don’t. So, please take the time and just get it done! Taxes and death, you know …
