This past Christmas (as in the one that was over just fifteenish days ago) was an odd one, to say the least. It took an unexpected turn when a couple of weeks before the holiday arrived, we decided to go to San Antonio, TX for the...
Happy New Year, friends! Four days in and I must confess, I simply have no idea what to expect of this new year. Last year, I was prepared I think. My mind was settled, ready for the end of December, and at peace with the coming...
