I’ve been teaching my class the game Twenty Questions. I don’t think we ever played this game. It’s a game in which one person thinks of an animal, vegetable or mineral and the other person has to guess what animal, vegetable or mineral they are picturing. It’s lots of fun as the questioner uses clues…
If you are Christian, you might celebrate this day by eating pancakes. Why? Shrove Tuesday (also known in Commonwealth countries as Pancake Tuesday or Pancake day) is the day in February or March immediately preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent), which is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes. In others, especially those…
Grandma is turning 84 years old today and she is having a nice quiet birthday. I called her this morning and she’s glad to have some peace and quiet. And I’m sure if you both send her warm wishes, she’ll get them. She’s really not up to going out too much these days. I know…
Grandma’s birthday is tomorrow so I took her to the Country Club for a nice lunch today. I also got her a heart shaped ice cream cake. She had a very nice day. I hope your days are going well. It’s tough being a teenager these days. The world just seems like such a mess!…

Yes, it’s done. I hope you like it. The girls in the story don’t need some handsome prince to come rescue them. THESE heroines are in the process of saving themselves. Right now, they have to wait. But this too shall pass. And someday, they’ll look at me with the same strength and fierceness of…
The last day of the cruise was a day at sea. The ship steamed along the coast as it slowly made its way back to Fort Lauderdale. Grandma Dot met the girls for breakfast on the main deck. She held onto the girls for several minutes and was so glad to see them. Tears filled…
As Bea awoke on the second to the last day of the cruise, she thought about all the people she had gotten to see during the week. Prudence had made sure that all the people who loved her had been able to visit her. She turned over in her bed and saw that Purity was…
