My dad’s memorial service was Friday, December 16th. We opted for a small informal service with family. During the service, guests were invited to share a memory about my dad or just their thoughts about him as a person. As people talked I heard words like kind, love, innovative, meticulous, role model. I had intended [...]

I a not a big fan of the zoo… the smells, the crowds, the animals behind bars/fences with people gawking at them, BUT I wanted Dylan to see the animals. He LOVES animals, so we took him to the Dallas Zoo and we had a good time. I can’t even tell you the last time [...]
