The Southwest Freeway is one big sheet of ice this morning. If you’re just waking up, please stay home. Houston’s major highways are still far too dangerous to drive. Be safe friends! Stay home and stay warm.
Remember the breaking news from this morning-a teen accidentally shot by older brother? I read the story all morning not realizing he was a gent in my mentoring program last year. Josh Bradley was a good kid, very bright and determined to be something. Bright future, cut short.😢
An 80 degree Christmas in Houston caused for a cook out by the pool. Switched up the menu and grilled Christmas dinner! Hope y’all are enjoying your family/friends and having a wonderful Christmas!
My dad is my best friend. I’ve always been a “daddy’s boy!” Always wanted to be just like him. Little emotional writing this because I’m so blessed to have a great father who has provided for me, challenged me, taught me, loved me and inspired me. So many boys don’t have this.
No matter how old you are, you’ll always need your mother’s love! Thanks mom for being my biggest fan, watching every show and... letting me know when I need to straighten my tie!
