April 24, 2014 A couple of powerful tribute events are coming to the Crossroads area in May. Warrior's Weekend and the Warrior's Weekend Field of Honor will pay tribute to those who have served our country in uniform, and those who have given the ultimate sacrifice of their lives in defense of this nation, and the cause of freedom around the world.
April 24, 2014 As you may know, my wife Sweetie and I moved our belongings from El Campo to Victoria over Easter weekend. Our new house hadn't been thoroughly cleaned before we started moving in, so we had to do some quick cleaning (which still isn't 100% finished). Then, there will be the final cleaning of our previous residence, which will take place this weekend. I found this article with some helpful cleaning tips, and thought I'd pass it along to you, the fine readers of these carefully-crafted blog posts.

April 17, 2014 Do you--or someone you know--scour the newspaper for yard sale ads? Or drive all over town on Saturday mornings, hunting a good deal at a yard/garage sale? While it's true there are often great bargains to be found, according to noted financial expert Dave Ramsey, there are also some items you should NEVER purchase at such sales!
April 16, 2014 Listen to KIXS 108 Friday morning (4/18) between 9 and 10 a.m. for Skeeter's interview with JB of JB & the Moonshine Band, who will be headlining the entertainment at Jam Fest in downtown Victoria this Saturday, April 19th!

April 16, 2014 My wife and I have often talked about how nice it would be to have an RV of some sort. I kind of like the idea of a travel trailer, as that would allow us to "un-hitch" the pickup truck to drive to somewhere other than where we park the trailer to "camp out." But then, sometimes, I think it would be nice to have a big ol' motorhome! Now, one of the most famous manufacturers of motorhomes has taken a page from their past, and put it into a brand-new, modern model...but from the exterior, it's hard to tell it's not one from 30 years ago!
April 16, 2014 I've known this young lady since she was in middle school (her parents are good friends of mine), and I've played drums for her many times on stage in northeast Arkansas. Now, she's a college coed, sorority member, and writing, recording and singing her own music. Not surprising...she comes from a LONG line of talented professional entertainers! Her dad Craig plays keyboard for Loretta Lynn, and her mom Donna sang background vocals on classic recordings by Elvis Presley and Al Green.
April 10, 2014 If you read a post I put up here last week, you know that my wife Sweetie and I have been hunting for a house to rent in Victoria. Well, y'all can stop searching for us now...we've found a home! It's a nice house on the northeast side of Victoria, with plenty of room for me, Sweetie, my "bonus" son, Kris (who lives with us due to a physical disability), our three dogs and 2 cats. We hope to be all moved in before the end of April.

April 8, 2014 Sad news from Goliad County, as reported by Bianca Montes at victoriaadvocate.com:

April 8, 2014 I've never had to buy a child car seat, as I've never had any children. However, I do have to wonder: after all these years (and how many car seat recalls?), why can't they get these things right?! It seems to me like there have been a LOT of child seat recalls! Well, here comes another one!
April 7, 2014 Yes, it's true. My wife Sweetie and I need a house to rent somewhere in or around Victoria, preferably no more than a 20 minute drive into town. We need at least 3 bedrooms and would like to have 2 bathrooms, if possible. We also have 3 dogs (housebroken) and 2 cats (they use a box). All have been spayed/neutered (the animals, not the people!). We need to move (from El Campo) ASAP!
