HCFG and I celebrated our one year anniversary. I truly can’t believe it, [...]

No More Wacky Wabbits

( Celebrations and HCFG )

*Rolls over and gasps*
Wha? Oh wow, another weird dream. There were rabbits, and a scary Red Queen who was screaming for my head, and a smirking cat, and all sorts of weird and wacky creatures.
Oh and Tea. Lots and lots of tea and cookies.
I’m awake now, whew!
Anyway, a quick summary of what I’ve been [...]

Lisa in Wonderland

I’ve fallen down a rabbit-hole and landed in Wonderland. I will be meeting all sorts of characters, including a Queen, a Cheshire Cat and a Mad Hatter or two… or fifty.

Mom and I are talking on the phone…

Mom: “I do too, dear. Are there any cheap flights right now?”
Lisa: “Let me look online… Hey there are! So if I come to Texas for my birthday will you take me out to supper?”
Mom: “I’ll even buy you a [...]

*Raises a glass to YOU*
Happy New Year to my fellow Bloggers!
