“Do You Think You Can You Keep It Like This?”
I’m a fairly clean person. And, although I pride myself on squeaky clean bits’n pieces, it is not of a hygienic nature that I am speaking today. I’m a bit “Type A” when it comes to keeping my house neat and tidy. I’m not so much concerned with the nooks and crannies as I am […]

The question was posed as, “Do you feel it’s wrong to kiss your kids on the lips?” Wow. Man, but there were some angry commentsout there. In fact, angry […]
A Colorado Road Trip: Part 6 ~ Home…and a very close call.
We had an amazing time in Colorado and were definitely saddened to leave. The weather was great, the sights scenic and the company splendid.
