This morning I have an appointment with the owner of Doogie Camp. I am traveling soon and while I had made arrangements for my three months ago, my sitter had a last minute emergency and so I am desperate to find a good and caring place for my family. The process is a difficult one and I am uneas

No matter where you live or how long you have been there, there are some things unique to your area. In my area there is the transition from winter into summer and we call it Mud Season. In Mud season the ground is still frozen but the run off from the long accumulated snow is everywhere and the

I am having a friend come later from New Jersey. I miss my friends who are no longer local but we do out best to stay close and in touch. Whenever this friend comes... we run. We shop and in many local towns, try and find new places, and generally visit the ones we love. I sometimes go on my own

I read something yesterday that really stuck with me. With over seven billion people in the world, why would you let one person, or their actions, disturb you? It's a good point and I have decided to embrace it. I had a surprise this morning and was disappointed, but the day is young and I intend

With all the tumult in our world and the recent events in the Ukraine I have been thinking about the chaos in our own country not all that long ago. So many wars, so many served, and yet it happens again and again in every lifetime. The people who fought to preserve our freedoms are largely gone

You've decided to move and you are deciding where you want to go. Start packing. If you are serious about moving. Start packing. Your children left the home and you are deciding whether you want to redo or downsize. Start packing. Most of us have ten times as much as we use or see. If you are sma
