The perfect gift. . . kinda

During this season of gift giving, and trying to deliver (or have delivered) the perfect gift to a special someone that means the world to you, don’t forget to read the fine print.  Tuesday was my mom’s birthday, and unfortunately for me, Tuesday is a very busy day for me, and I am not able to travel down to La Mesa on that day.

Alpine has lost a friend

For The Alpine Sun
I want to tell everyone about a really wonderful man, who, when I first met him seemed like a dynamo is gone. Back when I was attending Queen of Angels Catholic Church here in Alpine, and we, my family and I, were very involved, we had the pleasure of meeting Jim Archer.  Jim was the handsome man with the white hair and glasses who could have been a movie star, standing next to his wife who could have also been a movie star.
