That film prompted many to create their own list for the first time. Although the name may have changed, the idea has not. Time flies when we’re paying bills, and life continues on whether we take time to follow our dreams of what we want to accomplish before we die. I {Read More}

Inspired by an Obit

August 8, 2014 by

I don’t normally read the obituary pages in the daily paper. But when I do, I often see a photo that catches my eye.

Now a 90-year-old’s obit may display him looking quite young and {Read More}

Cajun Cookoff!

July 18, 2011 by
