My Mother was a Librarian so it only stands to reason that my siblings and I were exposed to books at a very, very early age, probably pre-natal. My memories of my childhood home were the fireplace, the bookcase that took up the entire wall next to it, and the window seat, on top of a radiator, where […]

I’ve Been Hearing…
how great the shows have been this Christmas and Holiday season and thought it would be a nice idea to list the many entertainment opportunities we have available the next week or so. If you are like I am, I know there is a lot going on but not sure where to get the information. I […]

I never tire or cease to be amazed at the accomplishments of The Villages and/or their residents. I can imagine that some people who have never visited The Villages think that I am just a person who likes to brag all the time. Oh this is the best, and that is the best, and I […]

Every once in a while Sean’s actions remind me of a time when my sons were growing up and they were young enough to tell them what they had to do. They would do it, perhaps not willingly or happily, but they did it. One of those things were, eat your dinner, and they did it. […]
