Our continued thanks to all of you for your prayers and best wishes. I am pleased to report today that Stimpy is holding his own. He is still walking daily, somewhat restless at night, sleeping though as soundly and as close to me as he can, and still likes his treats. He has sunned himself […]

Madison visits with Kay, Stimpy and Little Bit at the Tybee Island Dog Park, December 2007. Tybee Island, Ga. — Stimpy had a pretty restful night but he chased rabbits most of the evening. I suspect that he is hearing the “Call of the Wild” — his original pack is recognizing his closeness. His output […]

The Armstrong Clan’s 2007 Christmas Photo Tybee Island, Ga. — On June 1st, 1994 I started ARMSTRONG and Associates. Two years later Kay joined the business. We have been blessed ever since and for that we are very grateful and thankful. How did I arrive at such a life changing decision? To that point in […]

Tybee Island, GA. — Every now and then in your life you come across someone that you just know instanteously is going to be a friend. Someone who you realize shares instinctively similar values for God and Country, believes that most politicians are simply out to feather their own nests, and who likes dogs and […]

Tybee Island, Ga. — A blog can be very therapeutic. So it is with this entry. I believe there are “givers and takers” in this world. My Mother was a “giver”.Thanksgiving and Christmas were my Mother’s two favorite times of the year. My earliest remembrances of both actually come from the days when we lived […]

Tybee Island, GA. — “Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice.” Mr. Charlie Maxwell died Saturday November 24th. He was in my estimation the only Father I knew that had a truly remarkable relationship with one of his son — my friend and “brother” Bob […]

Tybee Island, Ga. — It is cold and blustery at the beach today. I couldn’t be any happier. Only the tried and true will remain here over the next few days and then we will be back amongst the natives and the true beach lovers. Such weather tends to lead me to observe and think. […]

I saw Mitch Albom, the author of Tuesdays with Morrie, yesterday and it prompted me to think about the people in my life (other than my parents) that helped me grow up and that I want to thank for all their assistance in making me who I am today. Some have already passed on, unfortunately, […]

Now and then you get one of these posts from a friend that summarizes better than anything you could write yourself how you feel. Since I just turned 57 this weekend I find this to be the case with the contribution I share with you today from my dear friend and colleague Gaye Stockman in […]

Life is truly too short I have come to realize. Just about the time that we get our finances together and no longer have to work to make a living, rather we can live to enjoy our work — it seems that life at this stage is quickly flying by. So, I am always appreciative […]

(Thanks to my friend and fellow dog lover Anne McDowell for sharing this.) We feel tremendous love for our dogs, and our dogs sure seem to love us. Yet, we must ask is a dog really capable of emotions? Or are we just projecting our feelings onto our dogs? Scientists tend to avoid this subject […]
