Timing is Everything
Roundabout a Jump Rope Our small city has several roundabouts strewn about the roadway system. Some brilliant person thought these would make progress through these intersections quicker than a 4-way stop. OR… The minds who came up with this plan were great jump ropers in their childhood and thought this would be the perfect way…

Enjoying Retirement
When my dad was my age, he was retired, as was my mom. My parents traveled to see us where we lived in the upper Midwest at the time. Those were the best years for my mom. She loved to travel, which must be where I get my love of traveling and adventure! Numerous events…

First Ever Short Story
If I won the lottery, depending on how much money it was, I would pay off my house, my mom’s house, my sister’s house, give each of my grown daughters 50K, put the rest in the bank, and quit my job so I could spend more time with my family, and more time writing…. I…

(Can’t offer…

Back in 1990
Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car). Our first desktop home computer that my husband built was the first most expensive item we ever purchased together. I was so impressed by his ability to “build” a computer. And I was equally impressed by the cost. *GULP* Over $5000…

Do you need time? Yes! In fact, I was late to work this morning because I was not going to miss my opportunity to vote! I was the fourth person in line to vote at my precinct’s assigned voting location. It was a very chilly morning! Coats were appropriate attire It felt so good to…
