I like being at home. The comfort level is what I like. The temperature in the house is just right. I get to sit in my comfy, oversized chair. My dog sits in my lap. I just like being at home. I also like to travel. I do enjoy a trip to the beach or […]
Parking Lot Construction
One of our goals for 2021 was to repave our parking lot. We’ve been blessed with a company donating the work for this project! The work is beginning now and will continue for several weeks.

Patterns of Regression

Whether you reflect back on your mother or watch your spouse exercise tremendous energy with beauty and grace we are grateful for mothers. Personally, I am constantly blown […]
Have You Ever Had Your Heart Cut Out?
Am I the only one who is fascinated with cooking shows? During the pandemic, I consumed every episode of the British Baking Show. What I learned is that what looks easy on television is much harder than it appears. Where do they even find most of those fancy ingredients? I did make a pretty mean […]
