I love to hear the sound of laughter, either my own or others! I am surrounded by a group of very dedicated, hard working individuals…but, boy, do they know how to laugh!

I enjoyed a wonderful dinner last night with dear friends. I have known them for over 20 years. We met when we were next door neighbors. Their children were pre-teens and my children were babies and toddlers. Sitting across the table from each other last night brought back many great memories. There was the time […]
