Pieces of Life
Last Thursday 4 fully loaded cars headed north. The girls were moving into their first apartment for school. ”The girls,” two recent high school graduates heading out on their own for the very first time.

Our Girl is a Graduate!
Our youngest, our daughter graduated from High School on June 5th, 2010. Her father and I are so proud of her accomplishments, her daily self-motivation and her zest for life!

Focusing on what’s important
Monday is almost over, then it’s Tuesday, Wednesday…and you know the drill. As I have written before, I started a new job a few weeks back. The first two weeks I was in Kansas City, training with the people I’ll be working with, then last week was my first week on my own at home. [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day
Rich and I were engaged Valentine’s Day 1987. The first best day of my life. I say the first, well because of that day, because I said yes, I have had the best life I could have imagined. And so many “best days” have followed. Sure there are some “interesting” days… some “challenging” times, but without those [...]
