I came up with a great idea for the entire world. Well, not exactly – just those who struggle, like me, in getting socks on in the morning. I used to do battle. Bending over, causing my breathing apparatus to shut down, while facing the challenge of getting a sock …
My sister Connie said so long for now to her three kids at her cottage in Pennsylvania. She had escaped the hospital and, with the caring people of hospice, Connie took off to heaven to catch up with her husband, Bill, who had left a few months earlier. I hope heaven is …
