New Year's Preparations

“I’m not sure if I’m coming or going.” This is a statement people normally reserve for times of confusion and chaos or when they feel overwhelmed. But as I’m sitting here soaking up the last bit of sparkle from my Christmas tree before I take it all down and pack it away this afternoon, this sentiment feels especially appropriate.

Merry and REALLY Bright

My husband and I bought our first home in May 2003 and with that purchase came an old wooden ladder that the previous homeowners had left in the storage building. When I say old, I’m pretty sure this rickety ladder was the one Noah stood on to build the ark. Anyway, for our first three Christmases in that house, my husband would hang lights using that ladder. It might have looked as old as the hills, but the ladder was very functional… or so we thought.

Living His Best Life

photo by Matt Cornelius
If you have lived in Texarkana for a while, you have probably heard the name James Bramlett. You might remember the decade he served as the Mayor of Texarkana, Texas, or have done business with him at Farmers Bank and Trust, or maybe you have attended the Bramlett Beans and Cornbread Community Fundraiser in the last 23 years and shaken his hand as he handed you a bowl of beans. His love for Texarkana runs as deep as his roots in our community. … “My family has been in Texarkana since 1884. My great-grandfather came here in July of that year to work for the Texas and Pacific Railroad.
