Since I didn’t want the Halloween post to just sit there for days, I decided to resurrect an older post that I did four years ago that is just a bit of fun. Keep in mind that those grandchildren are now older, as are my children, and, gasp, so am I. Enjoy…. On a recent

There has been a death in my family, so that is why I have not put up a new post since Wednesday. I will probably be offline for the next few weeks as I adjust to a new way of life. Remember to hug the people you love every day and tell them how much
