We recently welcomed new life into our home in the form of two kittens. Their names are Lizzie and Beth. There are a few people who think we are a little crazy. Kittens at our age? But these little bundles of energy are exactly what we needed. Living in a “senior” community we are surroundedContinue reading “New Life”

Rebels and Renegades
The world often sees rebels and renegades as groups of violent, angry people attempting to over throw the government or current social conventions or norms. Look the words up in the dictionary and that is pretty much what you will find. But I would like to suggest that we can be rebels or renegades byContinue reading “Rebels and Renegades”
