Way before my time phone numbers were pretty simple. From what I have read they were only five digits. When I was growing up. You know, back in my day, we only had seven digits. Well we had the area code too but that was only needed if you were calling out of the area.

I love seeing businesses in Amarillo succeeding. I mean as food trucks became a thing in Amarillo they have been really awesome. More options for us to get our favorite foods is great.

This has been the story that keeps on giving. Jason Collier. Yes, you are welcome, we are bringing him back up. Why? Is he dating someone new? Did he wind up on another dating app?

Sometimes walking from your car to your home can cause you some anxiety. Add in it being a little later at night than you are comfortable with and it makes it worse. There is now an app for West Texas A&M students and faculty that can make this a lot less stressful.

We can never be too safe. We have to be a society that pretty much questions everything. I hate that we can't be trusting and that we can't just know that any email, phone call, text or letter can't be legitimate.

So this was a head scratcher. I had to verify that this was for real. The post I originally saw on Facebook made me chuckle. It is Homecoming season here in the Texas Panhandle. Oh and it's a big deal in Texas.

The posts kept popping up on my Facebook timeline. People talking about Yeungling Beer making it's way to Amarillo. I will be the first to tell you that until I started seeing the posts I have really never even heard of it. Is it worth it to try?

One of the things I have tried to teach my daughter is how to cook. Whether it is a full out difficult menu or a quick and easy recipe. Knowing how to throw a meal together can be very rewarding. She is a huge chicken, turkey meat kind of person. Always has been.

Owning a home used to be the American dream. It is what everyone had on their list of something they needed to do. It meant you were finally an adult. You know when you owed, owed, owed on a mortgage.

One less worry this school year for the parents in Canyon Independent School District. The news is something that will make any parent rejoice. This was something offered last school year and it was a blessing for the families.

I have had a dog or dogs in my house since my daughter was about three years old. That means for about twenty-two years I have had accidents, slobber, toys, food bowls, water bowls all over my house.

Looking at the calendar we have just under a month left of summer. In the summer we have so many fun outdoor activities to take advantage of. It is easier to stay fit because we are moving around a lot more.
