Summertime
My favorite season of the four is summer. Warm, sometimes hot days, is something I long for each year. I love the long days that summer brings with her.

Siblings
Where to begin? I am a very lucky girl having three siblings that I grew up with and becoming part of a larger sibling group when I married. As the youngest of four, I was christened the “baby.” Ironically my status with my married siblings is the exact opposite. Growing up in the ’60s, ’70s,…
