When will I learn? You'd think by now, aware of the limitations of my blindness, I'd be careful, really careful with the experiments and projects my 6-year-old granddaughter and I do. "It's a disaster," she groaned. She was right. I had placed the hot iron on the...
“I’ll be honest with you,” a woman shared with me, “I want true love. I want to cry out, help; I’m married to a man made of stone. I wish just once, on Valentine’s Day he would display a little romance.” Is romance what she really wanted? Here is the definition:...
