David Gardner’s Jewelers

part of excellent jewelry service in the Brazos Valley
When we got married, we used all the major local jewelry stores for our rings. We really did find the best of each in three different places.

For the last few seasons, Emil played on the Fighting Squirrels softball team. Their motto was to have fun. The first game Emil played, the Squirrles were outscored something like 16-2. From their demeanor and attitude, however, you’d never know that they weren’t winning every game; they had the best sportsmanship in the league.
Now that [...]

House Bunny!

As a Greek, I’m against any media that severely ridicules the Greek system. At the same time, I’m not without a sense of humor, and I know good parody when I see it.
As an example, if you listen to the Directors’ notes on Legally Blonde, you’ll learn that Reese Witherspoon spent some time on campus [...]

And This is Why I Twitter

In the last few days, Twitter messages have cracked me up. Our brother-in-law, Roy, has been Tweeting their family vacation. With his writer humor, that’s been entertaining on so many levels. Tonight, @LaniAR (a Longhorn) did shoutouts to those who started following her recently. I was lucky enough to land in the middle of that [...]
