Choose The Winning Team!
"It's time to pick teams," shouts the PE teacher as he designates the captains. Of course each captain wants the athletic, tall, strong students. One by one the students are chosen by their designated captain and then we get to the bottom of the barrel, so to speak,...
I Was Going To…
Outdoor Man. Mike Baxter. Last Man Standing. If you have never watched the sarcastic sitcom, you really are missing 30 minutes of laughter and entertainment. We have watched the reruns so much that we now quote lines as if they were taken from an honorable...
Is Your Vision Cloudy?
As I sat on the plane, reading glasses resting on my head, Jennifer Dukes Lee's book in my lap, staring out the small, plastic window, my heart was pounding with emotions of sadness to leave my parents but yet excitement to go home to my husband. I took in every...

That’s Awesome Sauce!
What does that even mean? Awesome Sauce. Hot fudge oozing down the side of mint chocolate chip ice cream? BBQ sauce slathered over a rack of ribs? Maple syrup traveling down the blueberry flavored pancakes? Is that what awesome sauce means? I first paid attention to...
Who Are You?
Have you ever been to a meeting or a get-to-know-you event where they have an ice breaker to state your name and tell a little bit about yourself? "I'm Deanna. I'm from Indiana. I'm a wife, a mom, a paralegal, a writer and a speaker. I love to read and ride my...
