Fleischer: The Marvelous Mavericks Mystery Tour
Last week, dear readers, I began to chronicle my nephew’s last stand as a Mavericks Ball Kid. The adventures continue…Dec. 26, 2011, the Denver Nuggets were in town. Things did not go well sports fans. I hated to witness one of the Maverick’s worst games. It wasn’t because the Mavs lost 115-93, but because they played like chumps instead of champs.

In the Tree House: Never cease to amaze me...
Mother’s Day is always such a special day. I hold it in the highest regards, along with birthdays. To me it is one of the two days a year that are just for me (along with my birthday). I love it so much because it is an honor to me to be a mother. I love the fact that there is a day devoted just to us moms, no matter what type of mother you are…to give thanks for all that we do the other 364 days out of the year.
