Girlfriends escape weekend
I’ve been working too hard lately—deadlines, meetings, all too much.
So I’m escaping to the beach with some girlfriends this weekend. No casual acquaintances, these wonderful women formed the teaching team for a class at our church during the past school year.

A Million Reasons to “Serve” Orange Juice!
I have only known a handful of millionaires in my lifetime, but one stands out above all the rest—Mr. Anthony Rossi. You’ve probably never heard of him (and that’s okay—he would probably want it that way!). But if I mentioned “Tropicana Orange Juice,” I can already see your heads nodding.

Of Body Lotions and Wedding Cakes

Summer house
School is still in session, but summer officially begins this weekend, at least for my family.
We’ll head to my in-law’s home for the Memorial Day weekend, as we often do in summer. They live on a beautifully clean, calm lake in Wisconsin, about an hour and half from our home.

How do you want to be remembered?
Yesterday I took a long walk through our local cemetery. Now before you think I’m terribly morbid, I have to tell you it’s one of my favorite places. Not only do some of the graves date back to the 1700’s, but it’s tree lined with an abundance of violet-colored irises growing around the marble benches, […]
