The girls & I stopped at El Sombero for dinner on our way home this evening. As we were coming in the restaurant there was a huge group of young men in front of us who had on Brandon Football Athletic wear, maybe 15-20 of them.

One of them opened the door for us and as we walked in three others that were sitting on a bench got up so we could sit down. We ended up being sat right away so we didn’t have time to sit down, but that really spoke to me. These young men were so nice and respectful and I thought its rare these days.

They ended up sitting near our table. I”m a people watcher, so I watched their interactions with each other. Once their food was served every one of them bowed their heads, removed their hats (if they had one on), and they PRAYED! This spoke to me even more. It was just 15-20 teenager guys, no mamas, no coaches, no girlfriends or any other adults around making them act right. They did it on their own bc they wanted to!

I don’t know any of these young men or their parents, but If I did I would congratulate them on raising these young men right!! With all of the negativity going on in the world right now this made my heart smile and gave me hope for the future!

I never really spoke to my neighbors.
They were a sweet, elderly couple — always greeting me with warm smiles whenever I passed by. But I was in my 40s, caught in the chaos of life — work, bills, and raising my 4-year-old boy. I barely had time to breathe, let alone chat over the fence.
Then one afternoon, I heard screams outside — my son’s screams. I ran out, heart pounding, and what I saw will stay with me forever.
My little boy was on the ground, crying in terror, a large dog snarling just feet away. And there — right between the dog and my child — was my old neighbor. He had thrown himself in front of the dog, shielding my son with his own body.
By the time I reached them, he was bleeding, his arms bruised, yet still holding my son close, whispering, “You’re okay now, buddy. You’re safe.” I rushed my son to the hospital, hands trembling, tears streaming down my face.
Later that evening, I checked my security camera footage — and I couldn’t stop crying. He didn’t hesitate for even a second. He ran faster than anyone his age should have, straight into danger — all to save a child who wasn’t even his.
The next day, when I went to thank him, he just smiled gently and said, “Any father would’ve done the same.” That’s when I learned he wasn’t just a kind neighbor. He was a veteran — a man who had already spent his life protecting others.
I stood there speechless, realizing how many times I’d walked past him without a word, without even a smile.
Now, every time I see him sitting quietly on his porch, I want to salute him. Because heroes don’t always wear uniforms. Sometimes… they live right next door.

Officer David Harriman of the Carver Police Department responded to a call of a woman who submerged her vehicle underwater.
She managed to escape with one of her dogs, but a second dog was still trapped underwater in the truck!
So Officer Harriman dove in, swam to the bottom and worked to save the dog! He's a total hero! Give him a thumbs up!!!

"Remember when I posted about my neighbor who put up a security camera aimed right at our backyard? I was furious. I’d convinced myself he was spying, and I was two bad ideas away from marching over there with a shovel and a speech.
But someone gave me a simple piece of advice: “Ask him why.”
So I did.
Turns out, he didn’t even realize it was angled that way. He’d just gone through a rough divorce, was living alone, and said he wanted to feel “less boxed in, but still safe.” Then he pointed to a rough sketch on his patio and said, almost shyly, “I just want to make something beautiful.”
That stopped me cold.
We got to talking, and it turned out he’d been wanting to redo the fence between our yards but didn’t know how. I told him I worked with wood, that I’d built furniture and outdoor pieces before. His eyes lit up. “Would you help me?” he asked.
Two weeks later, there we were—covered in sawdust, arguing over stain colors, laughing over takeout pizza. What started as frustration turned into friendship. We ended up designing a shared fence with a built-in fold-down bar table between our yards. We can drop it on either side for cookouts, pass burgers through, or just lean there and talk about nothing while the grill warms up.
He took down the camera before I even mentioned it.
Last weekend, we had burgers at that table. His ex stopped by to grab her mail and told him the fence looked beautiful. The way he smiled—proud, lighter somehow—made the whole thing worth it.
Sometimes people don’t mean harm. They just need connection. And sometimes fences don’t divide neighbors at all—they build bridges, with cup holders."

As a teen, Sally Field lived with her mother, actress Margaret Field, and stepfather Jock Mahoney, a Hollywood stuntman known for playing Tarzan. The world saw charm and courage. Sally saw something else. In her memoir In Pieces, she shared that Mahoney abused her when she was 14—quietly, manipulatively—leaving her confused, ashamed, and voiceless. She once tried to hint at her fear to her mother at the kitchen table; the moment passed, and so did her chance to be heard.
So Sally learned to smile for the camera—Gidget, The Flying Nun—while hurting inside. When she portrayed a trauma survivor in Sybil (1976), the pain sometimes overwhelmed her between scenes. Years later, she visited Mahoney with her young son. When he reached toward the boy, Sally stepped in. She didn’t shout. She chose protection. In that small, fierce act, she began to reclaim herself.
Writing In Pieces took years of tears and courage. She didn’t write it for revenge or headlines. She wrote it to tell the truth—and heal. Her story is not about staying angry; it’s about finding a voice after a lifetime of silence, and using it to protect the next generation.
If you’ve ever carried pain alone, let Sally’s courage remind you: speaking your truth isn’t weakness. It’s the beginning of freedom.

Today I went to court for shoplifting food from Walmart almost a year ago. Logan and I were struggling like no other and didn't know what to do. Well today in court as I got my paperwork to leave i had an officer stop and tell me to wait for her outside. I proceeded outside for her to tell me to follow her. We ended up at Winn-Dixie grocery store. She told me to grab a buggy and lets go shopping. Officer Katrina spent $139 on food for me, Logan and Skylar. After I told her she didn't have to do it she started telling me her struggle and how she made it through. This world may be jacked up y'all but there are still people out there who make a difference . and when my time comes i will pay it forward. Thank you again officer Katrina at Dothan Police Department.

I can not shop at Costco anymore- Yesterday I was at Costco buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Necco, the Wonder Dog, which weighs 191 lbs. I was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.What did she think I had an elephant?So because I'm retired and have little to do,on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again.I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and that the way that it works is, to load your jacket pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry.The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care, because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stopped to P*e on a Fire Hydrant and a car hit me,
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.
Costco won't let me shop there anymore.Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the World to think of crazy things to say.Forward this (especially) to all your retired friends...it will be their laugh for the day!

We’re honoring General Laura J. Richardson, a four-star U.S. Army General whose career reflects true courage and command.
As an Army aviator, she flew UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters and led the 5th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment during Operation Iraqi Freedom (2002–2004). Under fire, she directed assault missions and earned the Combat Action Badge for engaging the enemy in combat.
In Afghanistan (2013–2014), she served as Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications with the International Security Assistance Force, coordinating vital operations in a high-threat environment.
Her later commands include U.S. Army North (2019–2021), overseeing homeland security and disaster relief, and U.S. Southern Command (2021–2024), where she directed multinational operations across the Americas.
Well done, General — and thank you for your service.

My 94 year old grandfather passed away this past thanksgiving. He and my grandmother built their house in 1967 and lived there the rest of their years. Yesterday we cleaned out the attic and found this gorgeous set of luggage. They are Samsonite and in nearly perfect condition. I don’t know what to do with them but I can’t part with them.

I LOVE THIS ANALOGY:
You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.
Why did you spill the coffee?
"Because someone bumped into me!!!"
Wrong answer.
You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.
Whatevr is inside the cup is what will spill out.
Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.
So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"
When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratitude, peace and humility?
Anger, bitterness, victim mentality and quitting tendencies?
Life provids the cup, YOU choose how to fill it.
Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affrmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.
