Header photo credit to Laurie Sites. She wrote some tips about being a vegetarian. Growing up on a ranch in Texas, I was always around cattle.

Did Someone Say Starbucks?

Last year, I wrote a blog post about how Starbucks was my soulmate. I’d like to do a yearly review of Starbucks, and how somethings have changed, or not changed. Cover photo was taken during my week internship in NYC, and I got the lighting worked out so well in this photo. Note: If you enjoy Starbucks orContinue reading “Did Someone Say Starbucks?”

I’m depressed and I’m doing just fine.

Two months ago, I was going to write on this very subject, but all I could write was the headline. I took the header photo back in December while walking through the gardens that’s downtown.

Wednesday Weekly Bubble Bath’s

Every Wednesday,  I love drawing the hot water to help me relax after a stressful week. Water is a beautiful part of our world. It’s not until drought season approaches that I truly understand the importance of water. The two small rain barrels outside are about a third full of rainwater, and it’s fun watchingContinue reading “Wednesday Weekly Bubble Bath’s”
