I’m A Clubwoman

I can’t believe that I only have 8 week days left until I return to school and 13 until this year’s crop of students show up! Summer has definitely flown by for me. I have always loved this time, though, right before school when the stores are putting out loads of school supplies and fall [...]

I don’t know if I have said anything about this before, but in addition to being mother of three and a GFWC member I also own and operate my own small town newspaper. I write a weekly column as part of the paper and I would like to share with you my first editorial in my newest endeavor. I hope you enjoy it.

Do you write stories? When we were all in school, our teachers assigned essays, and we were all writers. After graduation, only a small handful of us continue to write. I love to write news stories, and editorial blog stories, but I never try fiction or to relate my experiences. Do you?

I have a list of things to do, and a list of things that need to be done, and then the real list of things that must be done. And always the balancing act of finding joy in what I do, so I can do it.

Today I rode in a 4th of July Parade. Happy Independence Day! I hope you watched fireworks and a parade somewhere and rejoiced in love for this wonderful country!
