EAT AT JOE’S! I’m not kidding! Joe’s Pizza and Pasta is a must-visit when we are in the Victoria, Texas area. My son attends college there, so we have occasion to visit often. There is not a thing on the menu that I have not liked. We have made the habit of dining in the […]

Below are some good books I plan to read over the next year. I am finishing up Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy from my 2022 reading list, but after that, I am good to go for 2023. For a while, I was teaching high school Writing and Literature and did not have time to read. […]
