Down the Rabbit hole

While perusing a home decor site in my down time, I scrolled past dozens of welcoming door mats.

One mat had an eyecatching description: ‘Unwelcome Mat.’ Once I zoomed in, I had to stop myself from clicking ‘add to cart’ over and over again.

The mat, with thick, black capital letters, asked accusingly, “DID YOU CALL FIRST?”

Why yes, endearingly snarky door mat, that IS the question we need to be asking.

I’m a big believer in self-care.

Health care liaison Bryan Borill and director of business development Debbie Miller represented the Lamm Family Care Home Health and Hospice organization from Crowley during a Welsh Rotary meeting.

For most of the year, playing pranks on loved ones and neighbors may not be met with open arms. But attitudes tend to relax on or around Oct. 31, when millions of people celebrate Halloween. For some celebrants, Halloween is as much about tricks as it is treats. But why are tricks even involved with Halloween? According to Smithsonian.com, the tricks played on Halloween can be traced to 19th century celebrations of the holiday.
