Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Texas is seriously hot in the summer. This year the heat was up to 109-110℉ during the hottest part of the day and it was still over 100℉ after 8 o’clock PM some days. However, if you woke up early enough then you could enjoy the relatively cool 80℉ mornings. On a bright but nice
The first full day we were in Italy was a whirlwind. We were going all day. Honestly I feel like I didn’t stop moving from the first morning to the last day and as you read this you will see why. In Rome we were tourists. And the first stop on our first morning was

If you are from the U.S.A. then Happy Fourth of July. I hope you are enjoy all the red, white and blue along with tons of food off the grill. Please be safe with all of your celebrating. Don’t burn your fingers lighting fireworks. If you want to see some awesome firework shots check out my
Bear is three years old today. I think. He was rescued at 12 weeks from Plano Animal Service. So based on his approximate age at the time I count today as his birthday. He is a yellow lab-mix, I’m not sure what he is mixed with. Bear loves to just idly swim, no ball chasing
