The little girl and her mother wore identical dresses on the first and only Sunday they went to that church, as her mother called it afterwards. Her mother had located a McCall’s pattern the week before, and she worked day and night to produce two

Doodling And Other ‘Useless’ Things I Do

Did you know doodling actually helps you think? Neither did I…, but recently I watched a segment on a news channel about how it helps you stay engaged in the moment – like if you’re in a meeting or on a conference call. I used

Time To Get Busy

My husband is a wonderful gift giver. For example, I stuffed his stocking with pistachios, wader socks, Maker’s Mark whiskey, a fly fishing tool, (that looked strangely like some sort of needle threading device) and the new Alan Jackson bluegrass CD. Those aren’t bad gifts,
