It is the end of summer. This means running around for school clothes and classroom supplies. Over the years, I have found it easier to just take my boys on separate days. So, yesterday I finished up by taking my 17-year-old out for his turn. We spent a couple of hours in places like Dick’s…

Once in a while, and it has been less frequent of late, everything just falls into place when I am creating. Yesterday, it happened when I sat down to make jewelry. I have also had…
