National Sisters Day

 Today is National Sisters day. It gives me pause to ponder, what is a sister? 

According to the dictionary it's female siblings from the same parents. For some, I guess that's the best definition, but for me, I'm so blessed that sister means more.

Pet Fire Safety

 July 15th was National Pet Fire Safety Day. This is a topic that has hit pretty close to home.

And last night the house down the street from us caught fire. Fortunately everyone escaped, but what do you do when you have a pet?

Here are some of the things we've done and recommendations by the experts.
