I have two younger sisters, so I grew up sharing bedrooms, bathrooms, clothes (grudgingly), jewelry, accessories, friends, and just about everything else you can imagine. Because of this, I am usually able to adapt to other peoples' likes and dislikes - temporarily, at least. My husband, Gary, is the same way, as he grew up the youngest of three boys. I think that having siblings is a great way...

Her tiny face looked out the window to find mine, and I waved and watched her grow smaller as the bus disappeared up the road...

These are what I call August’s golden days. If I only referenced orangey sunrises and the hazy, citrus sunsets, that moniker would apply. August is so much more than lovely solar appearances and disappearances. It is always full of golden moments that make golden memories. I realize my reflections are provincial. In a world full of disease, disaster, dismay and hostilities, not all would share...

It really didn't matter which animal barn you visited at the Holmes County Fair last week. The youngsters' faces and names changed, and the animals differed, but the results were the same. Smiles were all around, and this was before judging, before the market sales.The fair was in progress, and that's all these dedicated 4-Hers cared about. They had worked for months to prepare for the county...
