Scheduled to be condemned, Century III Mall, when fully thriving was the third largest shopping center in the world that was once home to the most prominent retailers including a two-story Kaufmann's, and a Sears store that could fit 100 houses.

This Morning We Watched a Most Spiritually Uplifting Movie About Faith

I love watching true stories, and this one will bring you to tears, give you hope, and touch on faith through a man's visit to heaven and back again where he must deal with pain and a brutal recovery process when all he wants to do is give up. 90 Minutes in Heaven is Don and his wife Eva Piper's...

A Rainy Start to This Day Will End with a Visit and a Good Meal

I was in hope that the rain would hold off for another day, but Mother Nature is a fickle one. Our oldest daughter and her wife are coming over for a Mexican dinner later this afternoon, and it would be much more enjoyable to dine outdoors at the picnic table where we can watch our resident wildlife...

We Support Mom & Pop Businesses, and Our Elizabeth Boro Bakery is Amazing

Our Boro bakery is honoring brave soldiers this month. We try to be good when it comes to bakery goods, but we have ordered two wedding cakes from Barton's Bakery in the last several years for our two oldest daughters. Their pastry and cake-decorating artistry never fails to amaze me. Our oldest... Sign in to see full entry.

Not a Fun Day By Any Means

My biggest mistake today was not eating something before my appointment earlier this afternoon, and now I have managed to not only come home with a swollen face, but I have to go back to the dentist next month and get a permanent bridge that they say will be cemented into the right side of my mouth....

Finally, to the Dentist I Go...

I broke a tooth about a month ago on a piece of chewy caramel candy that John shared with me from our anniversary candy assortment. It left me with a jagged half-tooth that continually conflicts with the side of my tongue. Not fun! With the last few root canals, crowns, and other dental issues, I... Sign in to see full entry.

The area where I live is a favorite of these majestic creatures. Eagles are in my opinion one of the most beautiful birds of their kind. They have built nests all along the river next to my house and around the wooded area where the many country lanes lead you away from my small Boro. Sign in to see full entry.
