Friendships
On the precipice of attending my 40th high school reunion, and my youngest daughter graduating high school this month, both milestones have given me a lot of food for thought about friendships.

Lessons I Learn From My Dog
They say a dog is “Man’s Best Friend.” But when a WOMAN has a dog, I think the bond is even greater. My eldest daughter refers to my dog as “The Favorite Child.” She still insists that he was her ‘replacement’ when she went off to college 10 years ago and that he is totally spoiled. …
