Bah, humbug! When shopping becomes a chore
Written by Cindy Patterson on December 22nd, 2016It’s not that I don’t like the Christmas season, I’d rather focus on the Christmas reason, you know, the why we do all of this.

Written by Cindy Patterson on November 18th, 2015For those of us living in the south, fall means pumpkins, football and family time…much like anywhere else.

So, What Have We Lost?
Written by Cindy Patterson on August 28th, 2014While perusing new book titles on Amazon I saw one that caught my attention. What could a book titled “The End of Absence” be about? I wondered.

This pic says it all! Children photos can be WACKY but they're SO WORTH IT!
Written by Daryl Sparks on August 11th, 2014We had the great pleasure of seeing these two beautiful children come to the studio last week. Big Sister was very patient and perfectly well behaved.

Nothin’ more East Texas than Watermelons Celebrating East Texan summer tradition
Written by Daryl Sparks on June 20th, 2014Summers in East Texas are typically hot and muggy, but you can’t stay cooped up inside all day. There’s too much fun to be had outside.
