Goodbye to Summer
I don’t exactly want to face reality these days. The morning chill tells me to stay in bed, keep the duvet on and not to move. And I don’t. Because if it’s dark and cold and I even hear the slightest bit of rain, I ain’t going nowhere.But there’s no stopping the seasons. What is [...]
National Grandparents Day is September 13th
There’s something about my grandparents’ house that always feels welcoming. Even though they keep the door locked and bolted, the moment Grandma lets me in, I am transported. There’s always something delicious simmering on the stove or a hot chocolate cake fresh out of the oven- not to mention a closet filled with all the goodies a kid [...]
A SKY-HIGH CELEBRATION
While I’m not one to celebrate every special day on the calendar, National Aviation Day (August 19th) is one that provides a great excuse to party. National Aviation Day celebrates both the history and development of aviation, which has undoubtedly come a long way- thanks first of all to the brilliant inventors, the Wright brothers. Orville Wright’s first flight [...]
“HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!”
I confess. I’ve said those words too many times (emphasis on the ‘belated’). I hate to admit it, but it’s true. When life is busy, my schedule is chockablock or I’m just distracted by a million things on my to-do list, I do forget. You may be my best friend, my brother, even my child for heaven’s sake! Yes, [...]
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Yes I do love routine, but truth be told, this time of year gets me itching to get out and explore. School’s out, the weather is glorious and everyone else is going somewhere. You know that feeling? The streets are deserted, the supermarket is quiet and it seems like I’m the only one who is stuck in the city. [...]
Monogrammed Steak, Anyone?
Okay, let’s hear it for the summer! The beach! Flip-flops! A sizzling BBQ! Summer is definitely beckoning. I can smell it. Can’t you? I’m not going to lie- when fall becomes winter, I’m not nearly as enthusiastic. Trust me. But I’m certainly not going to apologize for getting into summer just a wee bit early. [...]
A Long & Happy Day for Dad
Dads are lucky this year- they’ll be getting an extra long day of attention thanks to the Summer Solstice that falls out on Father’s Day!I’m all for taking advantage of the extra daylight hours you are sure to miss when the summer is over. My first suggestion is to hit the beach and end with a barbeque. You can even [...]

Battleship Texas & The Role it Played in Winning WW2
On an unseasonably balmy spring day this year, we took our kids to a hulk of naval history known as Battleship Texas. Moored in the Houston Ship Channel ever since it was put out of commission in 1950s, the Battleship Texas is a local attraction that draws thousands upon thousands of visitors from all over [...]
