Coming events – May and June: Travels and lots of gardening are on my calendar. Those are two items I love and devote time to along with my storytelling. In Dallas as part of the annual Dallas Water Wise Garden tour you can visit our gardens the 1st Saturday in June. Here are some pictures of our gardens. Contact me for more information. You can see the flowers and trees have certainly benefited from all those Spring rains I’ve mentioned in my recent posts.

 

Hey Hey Hey It is 2015! Hope everybody has been grooving into the New Year!

Spike here!

I need to catch you up on my best travel of 2014. In November we got to go to Washington, D.C. Hope you get to go when you can because all the great monuments in the city belong to all of us Americans and are FREE to everyone who travels to Washington, D.C.

Spike’s newest NEWS TO YOU!

I hope you had a great OCTOBER! I got to see all these kids telling stories and solving problems in Texas in the towns of Kilgore, Nacogdoches, and Tyler.

 

I even picked up some tips to add to my Kidz Advize Lizt. I hope they help!
