May brings hope for a fun-filled summer, doesn’t it? I’m pumped for this summer since I was sick the entire summer last year! Swimming, going to the park, time to do my art, and summer reading…and summer reading! I’ve got a master plan to begin reading classics I’ve missed in all my sixty years. Do […]

Today is National High Five Day! In all the negativity around us, let’s take some time to give high fives to others. We may not want to provide a physical high five, but why not give a compliment. Accomplishments don’t have to be huge for it to be fun. Like last night, my husband and
