Friday I had to drive over and pick up my dad's death certificate. I know he's gone, but seeing his name with the official seal stings a whole lot! One of the memories I had about my dad was many years ago, we used to drive to this small town in Kentucky. (I would drive; …

Hard to believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve. While I enjoy seeing my grandchildren open presents, I am also a tad content when it’s all over. If you come to my house on December 26, you can bet my tree will already be down. I’m notorious for taking the tree down on Christmas. I get that …
