Meet Me At The Tree.
When I was in elementary school, my best friend Angie, lived down the gravel road from me and we would play together every day. We would call each other on the "party line" telephone (which doesn't mean what it means today) and make our plans. Sometimes I would ride...
First Things First.
Alarm Buzzzzzzzzz. No way! How can it be 6 a.m. already? It feels like I just went to sleep! Maybe I will hit the snooze just once. Will 10 minutes put me behind? Maybe I can do my quiet time tonight instead of this morning. Maybe I won't put dinner in the...
The Key To Success May Be Counter-Clockwise.
I was walking the other day trying to get in my steps for the day. One of the paths I walk is full of houses. However, I have never seen anyone outside at this one house. Vehicles are in different spots and there is obvious signs of people living there but I have...

Can I Take Your Coat?
When someone comes into our home, we would generally ask if we could take their coat. We take their coat and hang it either in the closet or on a nearby hook. This way they are free to enjoy themselves without the burden of holding on to or wearing their coat. When...
Piggy Bank Savings
I was cleaning my daughter's room a few weeks ago for her. She had done the first "purge" and had said I could finish up. Although cleaning, decluttering and organizing is a lot of work, sometimes you find special treasures or memorabilia that make you smile. I...
