Certain events have shaped and molded the very core of our dear country, the United States of America. Some more than others, of course. The heavy-hitters always get the headlines. But I am often fascinated by the events that mostly go unnoticed, the ones that have made the real difference. Today is the anniversary […]

Of course, animals think and feel. It always amazes me when I hear a person say otherwise. Clearly, those individuals have never taken the time to notice.

  The more I watch the Broadway play Hamilton, the more I appreciate the early founding of our country. I’ve probably “played” it now at least eight or nine times. I turn it on when I’m doing work around the house, or chopping something in the kitchen. What a cast of characters we had back

  Life can be sad for people sometimes. Not just a little, but a lot. I don’t understand why this is true. It may have been the case for Calamity Jane. While I couldn’t say for sure, because she lived a long time before I was born, it sure appears from the outside that her
