Every year on Veterans Day, I’ve always started my blog by taking a moment to say thanks to the members of my family who have served in the military: My husband, my daughter, my son, and my brother. My daughter, Dany, was in the Army and son, David, was in the Marines. They spent many […]

Good Monday morning. I do hope everyone had a good weekend. Yesterday I was able to get some writing done and then worked on the quilt I’m making for myself. The centerpiece is a t-shirt from the town where one of my sister’s lives. The blue piece is from a shirt that my mother used

As a special treat today, I have Slim Randles with a fun post about graduation and graduation speakers.
