Happy 3rd Birthday, Sweet Luna
Today is my beloved granddaughter Luna’s 3rd birthday. We are officially celebrating on Sunday, but I wanted to reflect for a moment on the presence of this child in my life.

New Resolve Prompted by My Visit to the Doctor
Today I had to go to the doctor for a physical and I am now home recognizing that it is time to do some life changing. Apparently, I have some weight to lose : 10 – 15 pounds (not a big surprise, of course, since I can read a scale as well as anybody, but…
