It is a little bit of home for them.

I find myself searching faces, but they all look the same.

I've never been prouder of my son.

Word got out. He only got two cookies. The rest went in 20 minutes.

He slowly became a regular presence in our home.

My brother, Bob Boots, is a construction battalion and has been for more than 20 years and his home base was Gulfport, Miss.. He had a house that was only 1,000 feet away from the beach. When we were there, we'd walk to the beach from his house.
