I was sitting here in tears as I went through my Facebook news feed a bit ago. I have some wonderful friends, but there is so much going on in this country and so many varied opinions, that it is like watching an ongoing war. Our country is in crisis. In fact, for many of…

I’ve Got a Secret ~ But I Can Never Keep It
Apparently all of my life I have been a talker. I remember once on a trip with The Fabulous Foursome (Uncle Bill, Sissie, Aunt Louise and Uncle Allen), when I was about six or seven. We were driving along and I stopped talking and was looking out the car window at something. The Fab Four…

I was blessed with two zany uncles who loved me very much. I don’t know if they ever realized that they and their wives were saviors in my life, but I am very confident they knew I loved them with all my heart. As I’ve mentioned in other blogs, these two aunts and uncles were…

GETTING RID OF POISON OAK AND POISON ATTITUDES
