How Many D’s are in the Alphabet?
Dale. Debra. Dawna. Dana. Danita. Darrel. Dennis. Dexter. Denver. Deanna. Yes there were that many "D-Days" in just the first two generations of Kelly & Erasta Day's family. Naming your children with a "D" in the Day family must have been a very popular thing. We...
Yikes! Hit The Brakes!
Ever been driving along at your own rate of speed and see a police officer then slam on your brakes? It's an automatic reaction even if we aren't going over the speed limit. I imagine police officers sitting in their cars just laughing as people panic when they see...

Get Out Of My Way!
Bumper to bumper traffic peppered with yellow taxi cabs. Horns blaring. People shoulder to shoulder scurrying through crosswalks. That's the scene during morning and evening rush hours in NYC. My husband, daughter and I just returned from a vacation in New York...
Where Have You Been?
Where have you been? It's a phrase we ask when we feel like someone has been gone too long. Maybe we are looking for them and can't find them. Or maybe it's just become a normal thing that you see them and then all of a sudden you notice they aren't there. My...
