Police in my little city are going down the street ticketing cars that are parked on the grass. Not the grass by the street, mind you, where it could be considered a traffic hazard, but the grass in the people’s own yards. Apparently there is some kind of ordinance here that says a car has […]
Sending a warm greeting to all my friends and family members who are celebrating the day. It will be a quiet one for me as the two most important men in my life, my father and my husband, are now playing Euchre together in heaven. Being by myself is okay, though, as I’m still in
