What Was I Thinking???

Clown Shoes: Never A Good Decision We all have moments in our lives when a decision results in a sick feeling in the pit of our stomachs followed by the thought WHAT WAS I THINKING??  There were many of these moments in college that still make me shudder and glance toward heaven with a thankful…

The Texas hill country begins to call as we enter into autumn….quaint villages like Boerne, Fredericksburg, and Wimberley offer bundles of boutique shopping and Americana Bed & Breakfast stays.
