More Work To Do

My husband is a very kind hearted, funny kind of guy, with a very dry sense of humor. There isn’t much that gets under his skin – except when he gets behind the wheel of his car. Then his game is on. He thoroughly dislikes minivan drivers because there are so many blinds spots in [...]

Getting Away

I had an opportunity to get away for five days with my husband this past week. We had airline vouchers that had to be used by early October. And, like many people in today’s economy, we had to watch our pennies. We were deciding where we would like to visit, and almost instantly, my husband [...]
