It’s funny to look back a year in the past. Do you ever do this? One year ago, we were in the midst of spring holy day preparations, garden planning and graduation party planning. It was a full time for me personally because all three of those activities alone are quite overwhelming. Compile three on [...]

OK – bear with me today because I’m in that kind of a mood. The mother of one of hubby’s childhood friends passed away last weekend and hubby and I are going to the visitation later this evening. This was actually more than “just the mom of a friend” to my hubby. This mom was [...]
