Hi Reader, Imagine a time when there was no social media. No cell phones. No internet. No telephones. Not even telegrams. Thatās what the world was like when the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in December 1965.

History lesson While the Emancipation Proclamation was signed on January 1, 1863, it was only as good as the...

What horrible things happen in summer camp??? my 5-year-old self wondered. I canāt remember if we took her home with us, or came back early to fetch her. I just remember that she was miserable and I didnāt want anything to do with summer camp. But oh, did I camp! With my...

Hi Reader, I used to wonder about those retirees who become Walmart greeters. Was their social security check not enough? Were they bored at home? Did they just want to be around other people? After all, it doesnāt seem so bad to get paid to simply wave to people, even if itās about as prestigious as the job they started with as a teenager. Maybe itās one of lifeās āfull circleā momentsā¦like the one Iām going through right now. I told you all that I recently started a new job. I havenāt had a...
