I’m a Cemetery Enthusiast
The first time I recall being in a cemetery was in the summer of 1963 when I was 5 years old. We were burying uncle Jim who was the brother of my great grandmother’s late husband. It was about 3:00 in the afternoon and the sky was cloudy and thunder was rolling. The ground had rich red clay like mud that felt to me like quicksand. Since that day I’ve been in my home church family cemetery hundreds of times. Whenever I visited whether for a body being committed the ground or another reason my siblings, cousins and I would go on a trip down memory lane.

Nicks hates his younger brother but did say he appreciated the fact he hat Adam got Faith to the hospital after the accident. On Thursday, however, Nick blamed his sibling for his daughter’s latest health crisis. Faith collapsed and now needs a kidney donor and her dad said that her uncle is the reason for it all.

Mini, Midi, and Maxi dresses need to make a comeback
When I was in the 8th grade from 1971-1972 fashion was at its all time best. There were 3 distinct styles that girls could choose from and believe me we did. During those days most young ladies enjoyed dressing up for school and rarely wore pants.We were fashionable whether we wore mini. midi or maxi dresses and skirts or coats and I loved watching each day to see who was wearing what. I believe these 3 fashion trends should make a comeback for women who desire to be bold and feminine without being tied down to one look.

Grief 101: Resentment
My husband's death is the first time that I have dealt with resentment as I am grieving. I am not talking about resenting the fact that other couples are still celebrating anniversaries and milestones. I am addressing something that I was unaware of and I desire others to be aware of this emotion and not to be too hard on themselves. After my great grandmother died in 1975 we were given a Golde Retriever puppy and I grew to love him and see him as part of the family. After my husband died I purchased a cat from a local shelter and everything was different.
