Ya know COVID…I really thought you’d be gone by now. Back in March life as we knew it went haywire with virtual school, the sudden loss of human contact outside of our immediate families, masks, no masks, masks again. So much information being fed from all different directions. I think it is safe to say […]
As the years go by, marriages go through ups and downs. I guess that is why most vows have that little section about “in good times and bad times”. My husband and I have definitely had our share of ups and downs from life changing medical diagnoses to job layoffs. They have all been challenging […]
I’m not a domestic diva by any means. I love the smell of clean laundry but I hate to fold it and put it away. Oh how I wish there was a machine that would just magically take care of it! I can’t bake to save my life. Too many measurements and too much precision. […]
