The Second Chance
A chore filled day had preceded a sumptuous homemade meal for dinner. The table chatter rendered from our granddaughter bits and pieces of experiences from camp that day.

The Act of Gratitude
A device intended to help facilitate walking was fitted on my right foot and leg a few days ago. The difference in my gate is significant. There is less stress in my left hip and leg and greater support on my right leg and hip. The walk from the parking garage to the stairs ascending […]

The view of Shenandoah Valley in Virginia is spectacular as one travels along the interstate highway. Rolling green hills dotted often with red barns and cattle grazing in vast fields were illuminated by the radiant sunlight pouring through the crystal blue sky.
