There are big benefits to living in a small home. It means thoughtful consideration of what goes in it. For some however, it seems limiting – more of a curse than a blessing. Regardless, if your home or apartment feels small to you, maximizing space is essential.
My first home was a 900 square foot bungalow in Florida. I quickly learned how to make the best use of a small space. Squeezing in as much usable space as possible makes rooms livable by helping it function properly, keeping Read More

So, I wore a fruit hat.
It was made of artificial fruit and I was going for that Carmen Miranda look, and folks at the party were kind enough to humor me in that regard. I wore the fruit hat to the Family YMCA Red and Black Ball last Saturday night, so there are lots of witnesses and I can’t pretend it didn’t happen.

“The Shack” is the long-awaited film version of the 2007 novel of the same name, written by Canadian author William P. Young. If you have read the book, you will know to bring plenty of tissues to the film. This is a story of bad things happening to good people and of the Holy Trinity intervening to teach love and forgiveness. As a result, the IMDB website categorizes the film as “drama/fantasy.”
The Shack in question is where hard evidence was found that Mackenzie Philip’s youngest daughter was indeed Read More
Letter To The Editor: To That Concerned Citizen…
Thank you, That Concerned Citizen, for your passionate response to the many letters written. Believe it or not, I agree with you, and I take up your challenge.
Although I share the political affiliation with the current party in power, does not mean I completely agree with all of their actions. Especially those that threaten our freedoms or future.
Many in my own Party have heard me call out the hypocritical notion that a party can call for less government, but mandate that the government decide who can marry. As a volunteer wildlife rehabber, Read More
