A true hero! Maybe will stream on Netflex in the fall but for now just search on Tim Ballard for documentaries.

A faith-focused movie released by Angel Studios beat Disney's Indiana Jones at the box office on the Fourth of July.

The house / dog sitter called and told us that Sassy injured her foot and might need to go to the vet. So I carried little Sassy to our house for evaluation. [ 653 more words. ]

Christmas Eve: Fireworks! Parades & Season of Angels http://wp.me/p46ten-Ct

It is the night before Christmas and I am typing away on my computer keyboard and busy editing Christmas pictures for my Texas Annie Ecuador blog. Earlier tonight I had been watching out our kitchen window the wonderful display of fireworks indicating the Ecuadorian celebration is starting. The music will continue throughout the night and next few days. But then in a softer tone little fairy like fireflies where having their own type of fireworks display in the backyard with little flickering lights everywhere. [ 528 more words. ]
