“Mom!” “Mom!” “Mom!” His voice, a touch louder than a whisper, demanded my attention despite my deep need for sleep. “Mom, look! Look what I can do!” I pushed my book aside and rose to my elbows. My glasses were still perched on my nose. “Mom!” His 5’10” lanky frame pirouetted on the red carpet […]

The 4th of July, for me, isn’t the kind of holiday I really look forward to. I live in a small town. We have the parades, the pancake breakasts, the picnics, the gathering-together-in-the-park kind of celebrations. We have the swimming pools, the BBQs, the kids riding decorated bikes through town.
