  • bona fide friends

    I had the honor of attending a birthday dinner for a dear friend last night. My husband and I were invited, as well as three other couples. We all had known each other for many years, so it was a fun gathering that happens too seldom. At one time we all ...
  • so proud

    I spent the better part of my morning yesterday at the Department of Driver's Services with my two eldest sons. One was there to take a road test in order to get his driver's license, and the other was going to attempt to get his permit. They both passed ...
