    Family History

    Aunt Lillian is the family archivist and has tons of old photos and documents stored away. She is losing her sight and being practical-minded wanted my help in going through it to make sure the cousins can get the stuff that belongs to their own families. One of my projects this year is doing a […]

    So I’ve been spending more than my fair share of time on social media lately…. …..and really how did we eat before Instagram? The last few days for me have felt like a real need for rest — plus intense feelings of guilt about others who don’t get a chance to kick back — and […]
