– Latrice and her shopping expertise (and a new rug)
– Nursing homes and voice recorders
– Papa and Doug, better (and cheaper) than the experts

– Solar plants south of San Antonio
– That the battles are not ours, but YOURS, Lord (that I put my hope in you, and you act on my behalf)
– Bunch of boys and pizza and poker… believe it or not, thrills this mom\’s heart
