This was a hard week. We lost my husband’s grandmother at age 91, almost 92 after a short battle with cancer. She was really more like a mom and mother in law to us as my husband lost his parents over 30 years ago. Jimmie Dean Qualls touched her own corner of the world in…
Happiness now!
Well it’s the beginning of a new year. I’ve decided to kick it off with a word to guide 2019. I always take the tried and true path and I don’t allow myself to venture too much from what is expected. I usually finish what I start, don’t like to try a lot of new…
