You know I remember when I lived in a dorm and did all the things you normally do in a dorm such as study with music and noise all around. Not too long ago I was at a small university with a friend and I said I thought it would be fun to go back […]
Mother’s Day 2016
This past Sunday was Mother’s Day and everywhere I looked I saw Mom. I went to get a skirt out of the closet and there was her handiwork. She had run two rows of elastic in the waist to make it smaller. The way she did it made it look like it had originally come […]
Snowbound at Home
I know we all (or most of us) are hoping that we have had our snow for the season. It can be quite a challenge to keep everyone occupied when cooped up in the house. What things do you remember doing when you couldn’t leave the house? I remember playing board games, cards, and […]

Coping with the Stress of the Season
The hustle and bustle of the holiday season are over. That in and of itself is a relief and a letdown. It seems that for the past six weeks every weekend was booked with something to do and our schedules changed almost daily. Mothers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles and don’t forget the children […]

String to the Rescue
Have you ever wondered: “What would I do if I couldn’t do something on my own?” Some people might just sit around and wait until they were able to do things again. However, not everyone is going to stop doing what they love to do just because of a temporary setback. I heard a story […]
Timmy’s Christmas wish
“Dear Santa, Please help my Nana and Pop-pop come to our house for Christmas dinner. Sometime they have a hard time getting in and out of the car. I miss them! Love, Timmy” To be continued……
