My grandmother, Dottie Elizabeth Parker Lewis, known to my family as Grandma, passed away Wednesday morning, July 27, 2005 in Brownsboro, Texas. My grandmother was 84 years old.

My friend Chris sent me the info about this billion dollar rig tilting into the ocean, and I forwarded it on to BoingBoing… and they posted it!
Yes, most of you are thinking probably, big whoop. But in the blogosphere BoingBoing is one of those sites that is a must read! I feel like it’s […]
