A House
Have you ever thought about losing or having to sell your house? Or maybe a relative’s house? Do you get emotional thinking about the history and memories made in your home? I admit I do. Grandpa’s death when I was a teenager gave me a whole new perspective on life and memories and knowledge of…

My Madison Journal
Monday morning. I have already posted on how our first night was and nearly being thrown out of the bed. Plus that the bed felt stiff. It was a rainy morning damp and wet. We got to the Park entrance and I got a good photo of the sign. Then we stopped at the gatehouse…
