December's Season of Celebration & Sharing | A Family Tradition Is Born |  Rockwall  A Family Tradition Is Born!    As part of my December Season of Celebration & Sharing, I would like to share a favorite of mine.  A family tradition can be started at any time, especially during the Christmas Holidays. My family loves the Christmas Holidays.  A few years ago we drew names at our Thanksgiving Dinner.  The ONLY rules were that everyone had to make a gift for the person whose name they drew.  That's right, we had to give presents made by our own hands!  There was a little moaning & groaning at first, but everyone soon got into the excitement and spirit of the season. We opened these gifts on Christmas Eve rather than on Christmas morning when we opened all the other packages.  The gifts we...

I found out this tall handsome dude of a Robot was going to be in Dallas in a couple of weeks.  That was all it took, and I quickly wrangled a date with my new robot dreamboat and wanted to show him off to my office of about 70 agents and staff at our next office meeting. WOW!  The big day arrived!  I stood with my new main squeeze...
