The Aftermath... Our Hearts are with YOU!

Pool Safety

Ahhh . . . summer . . . the time of year when most Texans are trying to find any way they can to cool off.  Air conditioners live on full blast and pools – whether in ground our above – abound.  Unfortunately, with school out, the mischievous side of little boys abound as well.   I will never forget the summer my son was in between 1st and 2nd grade.  It was hot and we had one of those blue pools that you can find at any big box ...

It’s the middle of summer and Texas, as usual, has heated up.  Many Texans are escaping the heat through travel and, unknowingly, putting themselves at a greater than usual risk for loss!  How many times have you logged onto the various social media sites and seen posts like this: Many times, these posts are public or “friends of friends” can see them, take a screen shot, and share away with anyone.  And we can’t forget the “look where we are” ...
