I just returned from my grandmother’s house. I love going there because life slows down to a crawl. She refuses to own a computer because she thinks she will break it. She doesn’t have cable and only picks up 2 channels with her antennae. If you bring your laptop, you can’t get onto the internet [...]

This Saturday, my husband took me on a date. It wasn’t anything extra special. We bought some Speedway capuccinos and spent some time chatting at a local park. No one was there so we had a nice peaceful afternoon together. It was just what we needed to do – reconnect and rest.
