I have to admit it, I was tempted to pull a prank on you with today being April Fools Day. Kathy, my wife, would say I'm the only fool in the room so I'll just leave it at that. She loves the saying, "All men are fools and my husband is their King." I still […]

New subscriber? Howdy! Everyone else? 😉 One of my hobbies is taking sunrise photos. I was blessed on Friday, March 09, 2018, to capture the following photo.
