Well it all started when Shawn, the best husband in the world, suggested trying a new recipe he found on line. It is French Onion Soup Spaghetti. I thought it was the perfect day since it wasn’t nearly as hot as it had been, we have the living room ac set to dehumidify and the…

I bet you handle frustrations much better than I do. I have always been solution oriented, so when my list of possible solutions runs out my wallet and we still have no working solution I tend to get surly. This happened with the car recently, we spent a lot of money trying to get it…

Too many times I have heard people ranking the lives of others in terms of importance and value. Let me throw a monkey wrench in that reasoning. There is no way to know the future, there are no guarantees, and no promises. A child’s life is no more valuable than a grandmother’s and a mother…

I admire other authors who have well developed imaginations. My own ecxerience with creative thinking is that it is a muscle and like all muscles, the more you work it the stronger it gets.
