YOUR MOTHER SHOULD KNOW

Ten for MOM, by Rich Paschall There are a lot of songs that salute mom. I do mean a lot. In fact, Good Housekeeping updated its list this year to 65 songs for mom. We have picked out ten you can share with your mom to show how much you care. Our list includes many … Continue reading YOUR MOTHER SHOULD KNOW

SHARING MY WORLD

Share Your World 4-12-2022 – Tena Carr, Guest Host Today is the first morning in more than a week when I've gotten up to see a blue sky and sunshine.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Share Your World: January I think for the first time in many years, Garry and I didn't stay up until midnight -- in the living room. Maybe it's me, but the entertainment isn't my kind of thing, and watching the drunks rally in New York (my hometown) doesn't give me the warm runnies it did … Continue reading HAPPY NEW YEAR

FOR THE HOLIDAYS

No Place Like Home, by Rich Paschall "Are we taking this picture AGAIN?" the holiday helpmate asked. "We have not taken one this year," I replied. "OK, sit over here, and I will take a selfie," the iPhone partner said. The other guy has no patience for me to set up the camera for a … Continue reading FOR THE HOLIDAYS

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEW YEAR’S EVE?

Certainly, your friends have been asking, and you must have something interesting to say. Unless you are under 18 or over 80, you do not get a pass on this one.
