(ROCKWALL, TX – Jan. 8, 2018) Flash is my name and being cute is my game. I’m in search of a fur-ever home with a family that will love me as much as I love them. If you can find room in your heart for a new best friend I’m the one for you. I’ve been […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — January 5, 2018) Season’s greetings, readers! With the new year now upon us, I find myself reflecting back on all the good news happening around Rockwall that we at Blue Ribbon News were able to share this past year, and I can’t help but get excited about what lies ahead for the […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — January 5, 2018) In the handful of days before New Year’s, I’ve written a novel, taken up fly-fishing, and I’m presently becoming an elk hunter. Yes, that’s a bit of exaggeration, but each of those bucket-listers started as a resolution. I’m a list-nerd, a goal-monger, a resolution-junkie, you could say. Each year […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — December 22, 2017) We have all heard the negative reports from across our land of instances where the Christmas Season is assailed, and it seems that all the Grinches of Christmas ban together each year in one voice to shout down the traditions of Christmas. Yes, we know the crazy stories of […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — December 18, 2017) Have you noticed the characters in Christmas? We have romanticized the sights and smells, but I think the reality of the scene needs to be re-noticed.

(ROCKWALL, TX — December 7, 2017) The chili simmered on the Coleman stove as I tiptoed around so not to kick dirt in it while gathering wood for a fire.

(ROCKWALL, TX – Dec. 6, 2017) Hello, I’m Giblets and I am in search of a fur-ever home. I’m cute as a button and ready to make memories with my new human. I’m neutered, up-to-date on shots, and microchipped. My adoption donation is $150. I’m heartworm positive but don’t worry, Rockwall Pets will pay for […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — November 29, 2017) It’s my favorite holiday, though I don’t observe it well. Maybe I could be excused for still trying to get Christmas right since it only comes once a year, or, maybe not, since I’ve had plenty of years to practice. One of my challenges is gift-giving because I’ve never […]
