Summer is here and life in the Morris house is in full swing, much like it is in your houses. A few weeks ago I posted blogs about being a house guest, and being a host, since this time of the year finds us as both. Right now, our house is bustling with guests and

I have to admit that I am not a believer in New Year’s resolutions. I figure if I didn’t have the ambition to do it in July, I won’t have the ambition to do it in January; besides I have so much life change that happens in my life on an almost monthly basis, that

We’ve cuddled mice and chipmunks, hugged dogs and bandicoots, posed with princesses and kissed sponges. This Southern California adventure is coming to a close, but not before it has conditioned me to be suspicious of every day sights and sounds. We ate dinner tonight at the Macaroni Grill.

I promised pictures from Jamin’s adventure hiking Machu Picchu in Peru. Here they are!!! These photgraphs were taken by our friend Chuck Skeek who was also on the trip with Jamin. If you want any copies of his photos, message me and I’ll pass the word along.
