On Tuesday I drove out to Forney to pick up my wins at Rusty By Design. There is a thrift store next door and I always stop in to see what they have. I seem to find a lot of smalls at this thrift and the money they earn goes to a non-profit that helps people in need. On this day I didn’t find much of anything. That is the way it is with thrift stores they are hit or...

Dr Fox that did my surgery and has supported me for the past 4 years. Fox Bariatrics is at Medical City. I was honored to represent him and his staff as a successful patient. I was scared to death, no really I’m pretty sure that I stopped breathing a couple of times while...

Ever so often some has a request for me to paint a picture of something they love. I met Ginger through a financial company that Greg and I did some business with. She was really excited to find out I was an artist and had a request for me to paint a picture of her and her husbands dog. She wanted it as a gift for her husbands birthday.
