Wounded Warriors
I know you have seen them–the clips on TV about “Wounded Warriors” or “Tunnel to Towers.” My heart is heavy every time I see them and saddened at the loss of lives, families that will never be the same again,…

No Standing Still of Time
I love this grandfather’s clock in the corner of my dining room. My father-in-law made it many years ago. The chimes are soothing to my ears as well as the steady “tick-tock.” Of course, if I forget to wind it…
