World Generations Week

Take stock of your family. This is the week you speak to the eldest members to record their history, discuss their childhood, learn their experiences, record their voice for future generations. And if you are fortunate to be a family elder, this is the week you open your heart and mind to preserve your history.

Homecoming Mums Season

In Texas, homecoming is not just a football game. It is an arms race of floral arrangements. Homecoming mums are giant corsages made of ribbons, flowers, bells, stuffed animals, and LED lights that can weigh several pounds and cost hundreds of dollars. The bigger the mum, the more popular the date. The AHA! moment: a Texas homecoming mum is not a flower. It is a wearable billboard that says "I am loved and I have a very patient mother who spent 12 hours hot-gluing ribbons to cardboard."
