February 23, 2020

A Typical Afternoon Interrupted  There I was, minding my own business, running some errands when they hit me like a barrage of pellets from my son’s old air-soft gun.  One after the other.

Life is Better With a Circle of Friends

Back To School In The Empty Nest

August 11, 2018

When you live in an empty nest, the smallest thing can make you think of your grown children. Sometimes it’s a song you hear or you run may into one of their old friends.
