I love summer. The solstice is exciting. To celebrate I sang my favorite summer song to the beloved husband. It was off-key and the paragraphs were mixed up but the words were all there. I can’t remember what I ate … Continue reading

When it comes to a crisis I’m stronger than most. I know what needs to be done and have the guts to do it. Unless it involves my cats. Then I am a weenie. The queen of weenies. At a … Continue reading
