Here She Comes To Not Save The Day
My friend saw an old lady crossing the street with an infant in a stroller; a big truck was headed right for them, and she selflessly dashed out into the street and swept them both to safety. Incredible. In the course of her … Continue reading

My friend visited recently with her adorable little baby. As I was entertaining the baby while mom went to the restroom I started pointing to the animals on her bib and saying “that’s a lion!” “that’s an elephant,” etc. And … Continue reading
What’s Cookin’

Ghost Of A Restaurant
I want to give my mom a special Mother’s Day shout out the best way I know how…by making fun of her. Trust me, she loves it. Once when Dan and I were visiting she recommended this amazing place for … Continue reading
