Your Talking Hands

  Your Talking Hands Our hands have a great deal to say about us! I remember visiting my 95-year-old mother-in-law and noticing her hands.

Take a Deep Breath!

The Return of the Turkey!

Louie and I were out walking in the brisk morning air when what should our wondering eyes behold! The turkey is back! And he’s bigger than ever! Many of you will remember that awhile back I talked about the flock of turkeys in our neighborhood and how they were in

The Power of One

The Power of One I recently read a very interesting book by Billy Wilson entitled, “The Power of One”.
