Spirituality. Politics. Music. Life.
So, this just happened… Dennise just posted this to Instagram. It’s quite a “moment in time,” what just happened. Maria can barely remember a time in her life when she hasn’t been campaigning for her Mom. As you can see in the top pic, that yard sign she’s holding was almost bigger than her, the […]

We’re still tabulating expenses and computing exactly how many folks came to Friday night’s big show (We think: 500-600) in Allen.
