Karma
I’m hoping Al’s Karma is about to change. Yesterday he was feeling lousy and fevered and so another course of Antibiotics was started for a suspected UTI. This morning when I arrived I was disappointed to find him still in bed and very flushed and le…
The Lambert gene
My mom was 1 of 13, and raised in a poor family where it was necessary to grow and preserve your own food. As a result my summer memories are of helping to harvest, wash, peel, sterilize Mason jars and preserve. Oddly as a young teen I enjoyed this. …
