I Followed The Yellow Brick Road
The Yellow Brick Road is more than just a path to the Emerald City; it symbolizes self-discovery, growth, and transformation. For all of us, each yellow brick represents the building blocks of our lives, the experiences, and lessons that shape who we are.

In the 49 years we have been married I would have to say communication and technology is what has changed the most. (other than the pounds, wrinkles, aches, and pains we have added to our collections) As I mentioned in my Honeymoon post, getting a private phone was so important to us as newlyweds and…

After recent media attention on the importance of having access to ones official birth certificate, I decided to pull ours out to confirm the required state…

I hate taking showers. It sounds odd, so let me clarify. I’m a very clean person, and my arthritic body certainly feels better after a nice hot shower. Physically, it’s a relief, but mentally? By the time I get to the fluffy towel, I’m utterly spent. It’s ironic, because my showers are often where I…

Confession time: I’ve been contemplating starting a blog for years. If I had a dollar for every time the thought crossed my mind, I’d probably be retired already (and certainly not checking my savings tonight!). Life, with its endless demands and distractions, always seemed to offer a perfectly valid excuse for putting it off. But…
