But she did good work and had at least two customers a month who were very happy with her skills. Because her boyfriend of two years was getting...
On our 25th wedding anniversary, Tom and I had decided to be brave and fly to Hawaii, though neither of us like flying, especially over the ocean. Our plans began to grow. We saved our money. When was the best time to go? When was the weather good there? What to take? But then something happened with our plans. We received a telephone call that changed our lives. Would we be interested in adopting again? Yes, was my answer. Tom was a little more cautious, saying things like, “We’re too old.” I never thought our family was c...

There will be plenty left to sell during Fest. Other groups preparing food...
