I have always been a blonde..more of a darker blonde…but blonde. Blonde was God’s design. Not wanting to argue with His original plans, I ensured I remained a blonde even when my hair turned gray in my twenties! About 5 years ago I developed an allergy to hair coloring. My stylist tried everything, but after … Continue reading »
Glad We Didn’t Have to Move!
Today as I took my walk, I was reminded of the year 2003. Our then two-year-old granddaughter, Kaily, was visiting. I was standing in front of the refrigerator pressing a cup up to the ice dispenser.

Anticipation
Flew for work on Monday through Atlanta to Baltimore. As we pulled away from the gate (On Time!) we soon came to a halt. We’d only gone about 200 yards when the Captain said that one of the radars in the tower had gone down! Oops. That does not sound good. He went on to … Continue reading »
