I’ve been feeling a bit "homesick" for my childhood for the past few years. I grew up in Connecticut in the 1970’s. In 1979, my parents & I relocated to Florida. Even though I’ve lived here for 32 years, I’ve never stopped missing ‘home.’ I miss New England. I miss the soft, wispy grass that I used to lay upon in my backyard, daydreaming as I discovered pictures in the clouds. I miss the

I was driving to work yesterday morning and had quite a few interesting encounters with squirrels! First, I approached a stop sign on a quite road. I was just about to start moving forward, when I noticed a squirrel in the road. He was just standing there! Didn't seem at all concerned that my car was approaching. Just stood his ground until he was ready to hop on over to the nearest tree. About

I had a really fun day yesterday. Can’t say I’ve had one of those in a LONG time. I’m usually ruled by calendar and clock all weekend; driven to get done all I feel I’m unable to accomplish during the week because of my work schedule & other responsibilities.
