FRONT DOOR FIASCO

My son, Alex and I were going to go for a walk when I stopped in the foyer and wondered out loud. “Do you think I’m going to need a coat?” Alex went to check the outdoor thermometer which was outside the dining room window while I decided it would just be easier to openContinue reading “FRONT DOOR FIASCO”

MAGIC PURSE

My husband Steven and our son Alex and I were having lunch with some friends at a local restaurant. As the server handed us our menus I reached in my purse to get my reading glasses. As my hand swept the inside of my bag I felt a small container and pulled it out. IContinue reading “MAGIC PURSE”
