They arrived yesterday, all crisp and pretty, the embroidered... Read more

Just about the same time each Summer, when the air is HOT and stagnant, the weather gauge is showing over a 100 degrees, and it's almost unbearable to enjoy the outdoors, my thoughts turn to Old Man Winter.I'm not a lover of heat, and the older I get, the less tolerant I've become.What can I say....I'm of English blood, Norsemen, Vikings and such, my comfort zone is a cool and rainy climate, not humid and hot.It seems the excessive heat-wave has hit most of the country, so the best advice is to...

Last Chance Highway

From A Brit in Tennessee, 1 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

There is nothing more heart-wrenching than seeing a mother dog and her precious litter of puppies abandoned on the side of the road. Unwanted pets are a major problem here in the Southern States. Chronic overpopulation and the misunderstood need to spay and neuter, fills the shelters beyond capacity ending in many unnecessary euthanizations. This summer, Animal Planet will change that with "Last Chance Highway", an eight-part series that focuses on the monumental mission of a dedicated... Read more
