I woke up to the realization that perhaps, if the weatherman’s forecast hit the mark, I could finally open the windows and enjoy some late arriving fall weather. When I was firing up my Keurig around 5:45, I decided to take a walk outside and see if it really was cooler. Those of us […]

This year has been filled with many challenges. This caused me to put one of the things I love the most on the back burner. Yesterday when I saw a “post a day” challenge, I decided it was time to get back on track. So, I am resolving (in November) to do a better job […]
