My neighborhood is from the late 60s with a little lake (Star Lake). A creek borders the back of our back yard and feeds the lake. We have a couple of otters who play on the banks of the creek. Someone caught these cuties playing at the lake!

Please remember that, as you attend memorials this weekend, it’s about those who gave all. It’s not about the politician that might show up for a pre-election photo op.

There are lots of reasons not to like members of Congress. For my whole life I’ve heard that members of congress receive salary and benefits for their entire lives after serving just one term. It seems unfair so I finally decided to look it up. Not true.

Ok. So, my brother, 1 yr older, contacted my younger brother after years of no contact. Last time was when our dad died, where he threatened to kill me and stole everything from dad’s place. He’s a con man, thief, addict, you name it. He’s found Jesus again and is onto his next con. +
