"What did you do today, Mom?" Nikki asked. "Oh you know, spin class, laundry, and stuff like that," was my simple answer. "Why?" I ask myself. Why did I not tell my daughter, "Oh I finished chapter 30 in my book "On the Way." "I spent an hour writing a silly rhyming poem about … Continue reading The Wardrobe

Today I sit and watch President and First-Lady Trump entering and exiting their cars. Out going President and First-Lady Obama will vacate one home and head to their next home.
