Our family had a chocolate lab named Maximus (he got his name from the movie Gladiator). We had him for 10 years until he passed away this summer from cancer. He was loyal, protective, loved the family. Was always at the door with tail just a wagging. Pets are wonderful because you can vent toContinue reading “I miss my Maximus”

My husband and I rarely buy brand new expensive things. We love thrift stores, flea markets, the clearance aisles. However, in 2008 we bought a brand new Sleep Number bed. We still have it.

None. I have never listened to even one minute of a podcast. I am usually listening to music or watching a baseball or football game!

In class all day, at the basketball game on Friday nights, playing soccer on Saturday mornings, in church on Sunday mornings and listening to football on the radio while I wrote my research papers Sunday afternoons! And college is where I met my husbandContinue reading “I’d go back to college”

What was is like to be sound asleep and in the dead of night, awake out of a sound sleep to the sound of a horse’s hooves tearing through the streets yelling that the British were coming? Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem has always been one of my favorites! For, borneContinue reading “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere”
