Everybody is talking about Thanksgiving this week. My friends want to know if I’m cooking and having the big meal at my house. As it happens, my family lives in all the far corners of the United States and although we’ve travelled to each of their homes over the last few years, we opted to [...]

Cleaning Out Memories

My house is falling apart. I shouldn’t be surprised; it’s almost thirty-five years old. I got the first clue about a year ago when the shower pan in our upstairs bathroom gave out. In the process of hvaing it fixed, we learned that termites had been having a field day up chewing up the bathroom cabinet. We had to put in a [...]
