Out and About – Week of October 8th

Like many, I have a problem throwing anything away. I’m afraid to throw out a receipt for fear of needing it a week after I throw it in the wastebasket. At one time I had three or four empty three-ring binders. There was nothing wrong with them so why get rid of them? A friend suggested that I give them …

Out and About – Week of September 24th

One doesn’t need to look far to be subjected to some form of loud noise, whether it’s a car needing a new muffler or the delightful sound of children yelling at each other in excitement, hopefully outdoors.

Seventeen years ago today, the United States was attacked in New York City, Washington, DC. and Pennsylvania. The nation was drawn closer together that day than it had been in years.
