My husband, Peter, told me about the unlikely friendship. When we stay in Mexico, Peter walks the same route up to the environmental preserve every day.

Walking into your room to find a curled- up dog or cat resting within your opened suitcase can be heart-wrenching, to say the least. With the winter chill sweeping in, a holiday trip may be on the horizon, leading owners to consider whether they should invite their furry friends to join in on the fun.

The holidays are a wonderful time to get everyone together. Unfortunately, they can also mean a greater risk of a fire in someone’s home. This holiday season, the Texas Gulf Coast Region encourages everyone to follow simple steps to prevent home fires from holiday decorations.

La Posada Twenty-one year ago, I did not know what Las Posadas were, but holding my threeyear- old’s hand while going door to door asking if there’s “room at the inn” seemed like a fun blend of Halloween and Christmas. I was determined to soak up all the culture I could while living in San Miguel de Allende.

Zach and Stoncia Bethke held a electronics recycling pick up at the Farmers Insurance parking lot on Saturday. They had already picked up a trailer load from the County on Friday and Saturdays pick up was for the public. The program is dedicated to recycling certain electronics responsibly and keep harmful materials out of landfills, give electronics a second life and support animal welfare organizations. 20% of the profits from the refurbished devices goes to organizations such as the Humane Society and Best Friends Animal Society. Zach and Stoncia ensure that all devices are recycled or repurposed using sustainable methods, and that sensitive data is securely wiped from all devices.
