Here it comes.....that time of the year. A decision has to be made. What should I give up for Lent? Of course Lent starts tomorrow.

Downtown Amarillo area has had a Downtown Neighborhood Police Office for some time now. They just finally moved from their temporary location to their new home away from home.

I ran to Market Street last night. I needed to get some food for my weekly food prep. I walked in and saw the glorious Monopoly Game has started.

We all know the saying "You are not you when your hangry." Snickers made that phrase a household saying, Everyone knows what that means.

There are some restaurants that I go to and I know I will just fill up on chips and hot sauce. Some I know I will on bread sticks or just regular bread. I know I will be too full before my food comes out to me so I will bring some of it home with me.

There are so many ways the world has changed since I went to school. I don't remember one time that there was a threat to a school I attended. We had fire drills and tornado drills.

I know that going for a walk with your dog is by far a healthy thing for you to do for yourself; but it is also great for your dog. You both get to go outside in the environment. You both get some much needed exercise.

If you have been watching all the restaurants closing in Amarillo and Canyon it seems to be a never ending cycle. We get new ones.....we lose good ones. It can be really painful when you find a favorite and it closes on you.

The day is fast approaching and if you don't hurry you will end up choosing from the picked over stuff in the store. Don't let that happen to you. Don't be that person. You still have time to order any of these and have them delivered in plenty of time.

I'm not that old. I'm not. I do know that if I don't get my hair done every now and then I may have a head full of gray. Why is that? I have a child. Duh! Having kids it great but they do stress us out a bit.

This is what I love about our community. Something tragic happens and we come together to help out our own. Every single time.

OK, well maybe that is not really true but if you haven't had a look at the new W4 you will have to fill out. Wow! Just wow! I mean I have been filling these out for decades. It was easy. Fill in 0 for no exemptions and more taxes to be taken out.
