Travel > Travel Diaries & Adventures (Other) The benefits of travel in your life experiences: 1 of 25

Get out and travel! Where'd I hear that? Can't remember, but it sounds like good advise. I've often thought that prejudice is brought on by lack of travel and immersion in other's cultures. Even if you never leave the United States, there are so many different cultures,religions, holidays, skin colors,tastes, food, the list ...
Home & Garden > Architecture The history and function of the cupola as an architectural detail: 3 of 19

Nothing, in my opinion, appeals to the street and inside appeal of a home as much as a cupola. History of the cupola aside, I can only speak of what it meant to me to have a home designed with a cupola. So many homes today are in the 'cookie' cutter style. The cupola sets it apart in the neighborhood. Once inside, it is an u...
Travel > Europe Travel Diaries Travel experiences: Italy: 12 of 35

Italy. Why didn't I realize it was there all the time.

Five long years ago I visited Tuscany, Italy. Can I call it delicious? It is delicious. Everything about it i...
Relationships & Family > Grief & Loss How do you move on after the death of a loved one: 14 of 33

Such a petite little girl. Her name was Saundrelle and she was sixteen. My brother-in-law Jim brought her home from North Carolina where he had been stationed at Fort Bragg. Years later he bowed to her wishes to go home to the Carolinas. I thought she looked like an Indian Princess, and as I think back on her today as I do o...

Gardening has alway bee my joy. One of my first memories is of a little patch of ground I had dug out and placed the rocks around the perimeter of. I planted radishes and cucumbers. Each day I would bring a can of water out to the garden and sit and watch the vegetables grow. Every leaf was counted every day and when the flo...
Health & Fitness > Holistic Health Healing properties of the human touch: 4 of 6

I really did not want to choose the subject of human touch but I think I have a story to share here. Church is supposed to be where you find healing, but many people walk in the door, hear the sermon and walk out without ever being touched in any way. They try, but it just doesn't happen to them for various reasons. One of t...
Politics, News & Issues > Soldiers & Veterans Why Americans should support the troops!: 34 of 43

Americans should support their troops because Americans are blessed. And we continue to be blessed because we have men and women ready to stand up for freedom. Why does a policeman uphold the law? He does so because he feels he has an obligation. He is obligated by his conscience or because he enjoys the freedom of walking o...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: What would you order for your last meal?: 35 of 44

My second choice for my last dinner on death row would be steak au poivre, you know the kind with all those peppercorn that get between your teeth. The next day one might show up between your teeth and that only adds to the memory of that satiny sauce and crunch of peppercorns. It is a memory worth savoring, too bad I couldn...

Cats, like people, are funny. I had a beautiful, well bred siamese female cat. We named her Sweetie Pie because that's what she was, a real sweetie pie. We had her eighteen years. She was so pretty we wanted to mate her with another Siamese. We looked in the paper for someone who had a male to breed. We brought him to our ho...
