Lately, I am learning that the 'unusual' is becoming the norm around here. It's windy here. The wind started last night and it's the kind of wind that takes your breath away...knocks things over, uproots trees, peels shingles...

Marie Coyle @Fleura When out and about driving, I always remember one thing my grandfather used to say to me when he taught me to drive-to expect the unexpected. He was right!

I wrote about buying gifts for my father and how I tried to come up with something a bit different. One year, soon after we were married, we bought him six different beers. He wasn’t a big drinker but enjoyed a beer on a hot day....

Amber I’m kind of disappointed in myself this year. I think every gift I’m giving this year is something I got for free (with the exception of the Christmas cards). That doesn’t mean I’m not putting a lot of thought into what to give who, but usually for Black...
