Isn’t it strange that I felt as though I was cheating on my husband? Seriously? Cheating by doing something for me? Yes, I felt that way…. Read More
“I am committing suicide by cigarette,” I replied. She thought that was reasonably funny. I didn’t. I thought it was hideous that I should scorn life that much, sucking away on cancer sticks.” ― Kurt Vonnegut My husband and I pulled into the cemetery, hoping the thick gray clouds would hold off the rain awhile longer. My brother and sister-in-law… Read More

Cheri Holm is the type of woman who gets things done. On the day I visited her business, Cheri’s Flower Basket, customers were ordering flowers, shopping women’s clothing, and perusing her impressive selection of handmade fudge (Real cream!
