I do believe my grandson Karter is the smartest, best-looking, and just all around nicest boy on the Shenandoah 8th grade football team.

Kim and I went for a little drive on Labor Day, just meandering through the Indiana and western Ohio countryside with no destination in mind.

Never mind that it was 95 degrees in the shade with humidity to match during our local Community Days weekend.

A wonderful joy in my life is getting to share grandmothering experiences with one of my best friends Peggy.

When Mama died back in December, my siblings and I made a pact.
