Anyone out there still working on their New Year’s Resolutions?
Still striving to meet those goals?
Most people have forgotten all about their goals by this time of the year. Life has gotten in the way and the goals have taken a back seat. So, there’s always next year. How many times have we shrugged our shoulders [...]

There is a story my dad used to tell about one of his aunts. In the 1940’s in the rural area where they lived, it was a luxury to have nice china and linens. Aunt Freida was one of the blessed ones. She had a china cabinet full of china and glassware. She had drawers [...]
