All Classmates Get a Valentine or Else!
Do you remember being a kid in school and working hard to get all your Valentine’s done for every last person in your class?

One Beautiful Sentence
When I was very young, my mom would take me to see my great-grandmother at the nursing home where she resided. Her name was Mamie and she was a tough character, so I’m told. She dipped snuff and when she kissed me it would run down my cheek and mom would have to clean it up.…

World Smile Day is Coming!
For years I have been a huge Smiley Face fan and of Harvey Ball, the icon’s creator.
