Wrist Surgery

Picking Blueberries

It has been a while since Keith and I last watched a good movie…one where neither of us would fall asleep on the couch halfway through. 😀 Since we don’t ever keep up with new movie releases, picking a good show is always a toss-up. However, I think we may have hit a jackpot last night with […]

Our New Piano

Our New Piano

Seasonal Allergies? Try Honey

Itchy, watery eyes? Stuffy nose? Head congestion? Non-stop sneezing? If you have bad seasonal allergies, like my husband, Keith, we would like to tell you our story. Keith has had seasonal allergies all his life. Since we’ve been together, I’ve seen him try various allergy […]
