I donât know how it happened but one day at a time I became a senior citizen. It doesnât seem possible–this time has come way too quickly. My mind has been troubled lately by all of the âwhat-ifs.â âWhat if my husband dies and I am alone to deal with all of this? What will […]
I was in a local storeâs checkout line when I recognized a man I knew quite well, not all that long ago. I said hi to him and he responded by asking how I had been. I asked if he recognized me and he said, âNo, I donât recognize anyone with their mask on.â Do […]
It could have been disastrous when the spring broke under the truck bed. As it was, we were not carrying any extra weight when it gave way. There is nothing unusual about that.

He answered: âDomestic violence calls.â I hadnât thought much about that yet but of course, it made perfect sense. Many of our homes include at least one person, if not an entire household of people, who want […]

Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week for traditional Christian churches. We wonât be observing this day inside the church walls this year.

Most of us these days are getting a first-hand experience of what a âstay-cationâ with our family would truly look like.
