Honor Our Law Enforcement

                                     

Despite unfavorable press regarding our law enforcement and border patrol officers, these dedicated men and women are worthy of our respect. These brave individuals have chosen a mostly thankless occupation, one that is extremely dangerous! They choose to serve us, to help us and to protect us! God bless them because, when we need special assistance, they are there!

Here are just a few ways we can show them our simple appreciation and honor them:

  • Show them respect - they deserve it!
  • When close to them, give them a smile and a "thumbs up."
  • Greet them with a "thank you!"
  • Keep in mind they are our defenders and our helpers.
  • Be aware of their personal safety!
Our peace officers work in shifts -- they get hungry -- they eat out; buy them a meal. See two or three of them sitting together at a table in a cafe or burger restaurant, anonymously, get their server's attention and offer to pay their tickets. When they go to pay, they will be surprised to hear: "It's been paid by a person who wanted to honor you guys and they said to tell you 'Thank you for your service!'"

Unfortunately, there will likely come a time when in an emergency we will need help. Be glad these heroes will be there when we need them most! 

I personally want to say thank you officers...and to all of our great first responders! 

"We've got your six!"

"We Need Life Flight!"

"We need Life Flight!" Desperate words when lives are in serious danger! It happens, all too often, especially in bad weather, traffic accidents or when a family member suffers a stroke or has seriously injured themselves. Memorial Hermann Life Flight is based in Houston, Texas and provides critical care medical air transport services within 150-mile radius of the Texas Medical Center located in Houston, Texas. Founded in 1976 by James "Red" Duke, MD the service operates around the clock - weather permitting - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Life Flight is able to transport up to two patients at a time, with each flight staffed by highly skilled personnel and equipped with advanced emergency equipment and necessary medications. There is so much more to know about Memorial Hermann Life Flight you will enjoy visiting their web page which I provide here. ( My accurate source of this important information and yours.) https://memorialhermann.org/services/specialties/tr...

Get away to New Iberia

                                              Founded by Spaniards in 1779 on the banks of the Bayou Teche, New Iberia eventually became home to French settlers known as Acadians, who had been driven from Nova Scotia by British troops. The Acadians, who in their new home became known as Cajuns. When my dad, who worked for an oil company, got transferred to New Iberia from Houston, we had to move from the big city to this small country town in south Louisiana. A culture shock for me! I was 15 years old back then and had to leave all my friends back home in Houston. I eventually, made new ones in my new "hometown." It was tough! However, I wound up loving New Iberia and all my new Cajun friends. My mother was a nurse; she found work with the Jefferson Island Salt Co. on nearby Avery Island - it was one of the biggest employers in the area at the time. How do you get to New Ib...

Sleeping with a Fan -- or Not

I'm not a fan of sleeping with a fan -- especially, all night long! My wife is, and that's all I'm going to say about that! Best I don't go there, so I am changing the subject! What about dreams? What are they? Why do we have them? Are dreams real? Let's see, here's what I can report about dreams. "In your dreams!" Now, that's funny! When we dream, we get to act out what we probably wouldn't do in reality. That ca n be fun! In the 19th century, Sigmund Freud pioneered the study of dreams. However, in spite of all the advanced research done with science, through the years, and since then, we still don't know everything about dreams or why we have them.  Here's what I have discovered in my research on the subject of dreams : Typically, we spend about two hours each night dreaming. Our dreams can last anywhere from 5-20 minutes each. Sometimes, it seems, I dream all night long. Other times, I may not dream at all. I don't always rememb...
