First of all, the horses are gone and I sent a baby goat and a quart of goat milk along with them. Why I feel the need to give people things I will never know.

Chris noticed that he wasn’t getting any one on one time with mom so he opted to take me to lunch today. He knows that I prefer organic and checked out the internet to surprise me with a trip to the Dream Cafe, in Dallas.
I haven’t ever been there before. And….I don;t usually write reviews […]

Last week McDonalds announced that beginning early 2009 they are going to be using environmentally certified coffee at its Australian and New Zealand locations.
The coffee is certified by the Rainforest Alliance. All coffee sold by the company (in Australia and New Zealand) will be certified by the group.
