At the back of my house I have a big screen-in porch with outdoor furniture, and I like to sit out there in the cool of the morning or late evening and enjoy coffee while taking in the beautiful views of the meadow and woods...

Kareng @moffittjc Yes, it is very errie! I hate it when we hear them close to us. I never get back into a deep sleep after that worrying about the chickens, cats, and dog outside.

You may recognize the name, Tylertown--you may not. Tylertown is the city where the flea market is where I have a booth. When I heard a tornado hit, I sent a text to one of the weekend workers and asked if the flea market got...

As many of you know, I frequently visit Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, which is normally about an hour and a half drive from my home. This past Friday, an impromptu trip was taken as a result of a favorable work schedule...

Many people have visions of millionaires that are of people living high off the hog, lavishly adorned with valuable things surrounding them. The reality for MOST millionaires is much different than that. Most millionaires do not...

Sometimes you read about a horrible and tragic event, but what catches your eye more is how they wrote about it. A man was set on fire after a man approached him, threw a liquid substance on him, and lit him on fire, which police...

Jim Bauer @moffittjc It makes me wonder, at least two people had to sign off on this. The writer who submitted it and the editor who approved it. Maybe there was simply a minimum word count requirement and the writer was one word short and "likely" made it complete?

It's hard to think it has only been four years since this little guy came into our lives. But sure enough, it's been four years. We picked him up on the farm where we got him and brought him home, and POOF! He ran and hid,...

It's a beautiful day, don't get me wrong, and I am not complaining one bit. The past week has been sunny and warm in the 80s, the furnace hasn't run a lick and the windows are open even if we have to close them at night when it...
