While sorting through the desk I discovered a yellowing newspaper clipping crunched in the back of the bottom drawer. I carefully unfolded the crinkly paper and there was Erma Bombeck’s smiling face. Erma kept the world entertained from her first column in 1960 until she passed away in 1996. I hope you enjoy […]

A Jigsaw puzzle has become a permanent fixture on the dining room table, so we both stop there throughout the day. I’ve done the usual household cleaning chores, hauled stuff to the Goodwill and even painted some patio furniture. […]
I just finished re-reading A Spool Of Blue Thread by Anne Taylor. This is a story about several generations of a family, and a house that was loved.
