Sadly the Albert family has been rendered to Texas due to these tough economic times. We have chosen to continue listing and monitoring her real blog at Douglas and Main since she “works” in Wichita. If the blog shows signs of becoming Texalusional (also called the “everything’s bigger” syndrome) we reserve the right to remove her from the site.

Tags 60 plus · BloggingGoPlayKansas has a wide variety of t-shirts to propel you into outdoor activity. Promoting hardy activities like badminton and grilling each has stylized logo of the activity and a cute little tag line connected to the activity that begins with the commandment, “go.”
Now they want you to provide the next idea for a t-shirt design.
Found money tip of the day: Three designs that probably wouldn’t be accepted by the good people at GoPlayKansas.com but might make some cash for an entrepreneurial risk-taker:
A cute Powercat logo with the line, “go avoid PROBATION”
A stylized Mangino with the line, ” go for the BUFFET”
And finally a simple wheat shock with the line ” go down to DII”
You’re welcome.
