HEAVYWEIGHT
Tea, anyone? Thanks to the church lady who handed me a tea bag this past Sunday! It gave me the “lift” I needed!

Growing up, I dreamed of “Prince Charming” sweeping me off my feet or that “Knight in Shining Armor” riding in and saving the day! A life of ease with the American Dream attached.

Potty Training and Christmas Cookies
Can you smell the aroma... Of Christmas cookies, of course?! While reflecting on the birth of Jesus, especially the conditions of the location (a smelly stable), I could somewhat relate as the grandson’s potty training was part of our daily routine.
