Fleas
Recently we have been dealing with a simple little pest called fleas. One day they arrived in our home. First, they invaded our cat. Then they began chewing on our kids. I never dealt much with fleas. In northern cold country, fleas don’t do well. However, in the warm climate of Texas hospitality, they have tried to make our home their home.

Nothing new under the Sun?

The Patient- Part 2
One of the things I noticed as a patient in the hospital, is that every person has a vital role.
