    Fine Arts Friday: Ghost story

    One more sleep til Halloween/Reformation Day

    And, man, do I need it. Do you know what the problem is with having imaginative children? They never want the costume you can buy at Party City. Never. The boys are being Hank and Drover from the Hank the Cowdog Series, and somehow I’ve been roped into being Sally May, the ranch wife. (I […]

    This is a post I’ve been writing off and on for quite some time. Every time I see a parent post a video of her doped up kid after a dental appointment or a Facebook post attempting to shame a kid into good behavior, I cringe.  One of the primary responsibilities of a parent is […]
