Our family was floating on tubes down the Guadalupe River, enjoying the sun and the shade and the coolness of the water, on a summer vacation. The river is relatively calm, but there are a few spots where the small rapids may tip your tube over. Starla and I had just gone […]
Aim for Something Worthwhile!
At the time all four of our kids lived at home, we had a New Year’s Eve and Fourth of July tradition. We would have Roman candle fights. Now this is probably one of those stories that you will not want your kids to read. I don’t claim to […]
