National Polka Festival in Ennis Texas 2009
This is a guest post by Deborah, she explains the Polka Festival far better than I do. Scott Things around here have been so crazy that I have been unable to post this years collection of images from the Polka Festival. Now that the mid-terms are over and the grandson has returned home I can…

Giving Up Social Networking for Lent on Ash Wednesday
Today is Ash Wednesday on the Christian calendar and popular belief around the Internet seems to mark this as a Catholic observation, but it really has nothing to do with Catholicism other than the fact that many Catholics observe Ash Wednesday and Lent. Ash Wednesday marks the first day of Lent, which is 46 days…
