What Are The Chances?
I’m not exactly sure just how acquaintances become friends but I do know how they don’t become friends and as fate would have it, I ran into two of those people that didn’t make my friend list this past Saturday and each situation had me a bit baffled, asking myself, “What are the chances?” I…

The 1482 Mile Journey
Don has had a rather interesting week. He left early Monday morning for a job north of town and then took off for Wyoming that same day. He got to his halfway point by Monday night and then finished the long drive to his destination on Tuesday only to find out there were some issues…

Betsy & Buzz
I just finished mowing and trimming the lawn. Did you notice there was no comma after the word lawn? Today my blood pressure stayed normal. I don’t have a headache. I harbor no resentment towards the equipment I used and it took less than an hour of my time. I’m sure I have all…

Washing Those Shades Of Gray Away
Back when I was in my early 20’s I would venture to say I tried at least 5 different hair colors. I got pretty good at the process but the day I chose to perfect “Auburn” is the day I said goodbye to hair color for 26 years. It’s a rather sad story as…

Andrea’s Precious Soul
I wasn’t able to birth babies but the bond I share with three of my nieces is one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever enjoyed and I believe that what we share is the next best thing to actually bringing them into this world. I’ve decided to share a story about each one and…

The Optimism Option
My day got off to one of those starts that was, in my opinion, comparable to the feeling you might experience when a brick wall appears out of nowhere and stops you dead in your tracks. You’d be kidding yourself if you said you didn’t have those days. Everybody does and I’ve learned over time…
