Sustainability… Or At Least, Salsa!

Friday, April 24th, 2009

We all know the economy is in the crapper… Jobs are being lost, retirement accounts are shrinking… Now is the time for all of us to revert to a more common-sense approach to living… The Simple Life, if you will. We, the Cox’s, being relatively recent purchasers of a modest acreage (or Landed Gentry, […]

Friendly Adversaries Meet Once Again!

Friday, April 24th, 2009

They faced-off several months ago on the basketball court… Now cousins are once again rivals… this time on the diamond! Kennedy and Kylie epitomize the “Bedlam” style rivalry that is Luther v. Jones, whether it be on the hardwood or the freshly-groomed sod. Kylie claimed victory in round one of the T-Ball Tsunami, […]

You’re Outta There!!!

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
