Where Have All The Young Men Gone?
We met in high school during my senior year. He had ambitions for a career in the field of mechanics and engineering, wanting to design cars someday. He enrolled in college but not before he received a letter from Uncle Sam inviting him to join in a WAR that was going on in VietNam.

'Emmer always stood by me no matter what'
They never drove a car or flew in an airplane and as far as I know, did not travel anywhere except in the southern part of the United States. They were simple country people and the phrase that best describes them is "salt of the earth."

My Kingdom For A Tree
When you decide that you would like to raise some fruit trees in your garden area, its time to find the ideal plant to start with.
The best trees are at least two years old and from 3-5 feet tall. They will survive the disturbing transplanting process and also bear fruit faster.

The Choices Of Your Child's Heart
It's not up to us to make our children happy. Let me say that again - its not up to us to make our kids happy. It is up to us to love them, support, nurture, protect, teach and guide them. The emotions of the heart; well, that is their choice!

A Woman's Touch
A woman's hands are created not only for touching and feeling... a woman's hands do so much more. They hold an infant when it's crying and cradle it to sleep. A woman's hands touch her husband’s face in love. Our hands soothe an aching head or hold and comfort a grieving soul. Our hands have the power to heal, our hands also have the power to destroy.

The Heart Of A Mother
When 'Mother's Day' comes each year I tenderly recall the days as youngster when plans were made to go to the little white Church at Grandma's for a "dress up" banquet. My first Mother and Daughter banquet was at the age of four.

Just Thinking - Curing a Virus
A friend knocked on my office door last Tuesday and I invited them in. I said, "Come on in, I've got a virus!" They stopped in the doorway and began to back out. I smiled and said, "Not me, but my computer."

The Power To Really Live
I had just graduated from college and was about to move away and pursue my dreams. An older friend said something I thought was a bit peculiar at the time. She said, "Don't ever lose your enthusiasm." I was not particularly aware that I possessed any enthusiasm, and I had no idea how to keep whatever amount I had!
