Hello, Everyone! Summer is moving right along and in a couple of days we’ll be celebrating our nation’s birthday. Although I consider myself patriotic, I’ve never been one who has to watch the firework displays.

Hello, Everyone! Now that the weather is nicer in our part of the world, I’m definitely enjoying summer. I hope you are, too. I often long for the good old days of summer when the days seemed to last forever. I grew up on a cul-de-sac filled with young children. Everyday was a play day …

Hello, Everyone! Happy Father’s Day to the wonderful fathers out there! On days like these, I miss my own father, who was wonderful to his 6 children, but I’m grateful for the memories he gave me. I had another topic I wanted to write about today, but when I saw the date, I remembered a …

Hello, Everyone! Today is Mother’s Day! If you’re a mother, I wish you a very Happy Mother’s Day! I have such fond memories of celebrating Mother’s Day with my own mother.

Hello, Everyone! I hope your weekend was wonderful! Here the weather can’t decide if it’s winter or spring. We’ve had several snowfalls, which is good because this climate is normally very dry, but when the temperature vacillates from the eighties one day to the thirties the next, it’s hard to know how to prepare for …

Hello, Everyone! I hope your weekend was wonderful and that you’ll be enjoying lovely spring weather in your part of the world. It’s been cold here.
