We really need to lighten up a bit. We need to enjoy the funny things we see here in Amarillo. If you just drive around town you will see many things that you can only see in Amarillo.

I discovered something in Amarillo last week that caused me some concern. I do a lot of shopping here in Amarillo. Come on face it we all do. We also get into our habits. We shop at certain places for certain reasons. Am I right?

I hear the scuffle on the street. Did you get your vaccine yet? Are you getting it? Which one are you getting? People are posting their vaccination card all over social media. It's kind of like the day you go to vote. You want everyone to know that you got it.

All good things must come to an end. Here we are at the end Our free pass is just about up. A lot of people were able to take advantage of the waiver.

I have lived in Amarillo for a big portion of my life. I know how construction can be. It seems it is never over. It’s part of life that we jus have to deal with. Once it is done then in a certain area it gets better but while it is going on it can seem just the longest.

We get busy. We run in the store to get our groceries. We have the kids with us that we are keeping an eye on. They are reaching for a box of their favorite cereal. You are grabbing the oatmeal you need. Your purse where is it?

This past weekend I took a trip to Home Depot on Georgia. I wanted to make a plan for my garden. I take this time every year. Now I know the crazy Amarillo weather and heck we can still get another freeze. That didn’t stop half of Amarillo being there doing the same thing I was. Scoping out w…

I found out last year that my blood pressure is a bit on the high side. It was a scary day. I was seeing a doctor for something else when he looked over my numbers. He told me that we would reschedule our appointment and called to get me an appointment downstairs with another doctor.

Ok this is not a drill. The thoughts of 2020 are behind us. At least that is what we need to remember. Too many things were cancelled last year. Not many proms, graduations or summer camps. Luckily that was all last year. Here we are and things are so much better. Many people have been vaccinated. T…

Yesterday I was doing some work at the radio station. When I left I ran over to the Walgreens just down the street. As I walked in I realized that today is my second favorite holiday. First being the day after Valentines Day.

When you leave your daughter in Dallas what do you do? I know it’s a great place for her but I still want her safe. So again what do you do? She has lived there for over two years and has always lived in safe neighborhoods. Mom still worries.

Nothing has been worse than seeing everything that we loved last year get cancelled. We get it. We were living through a freaking pandemic. Who knew that was going to be a year in the making.
